There was a lot of big sneaker news that was announced/leak yesterday. One of the biggest headlines was a rumored KAWS x Air Jordan collaboration said to be in the works. Neither Jordan or KAWS initially confirmed those rumors, until now. KAWS has taken to Instagram to confirm the  collaboration between himself and Jordan Brand. He mentioned on his post that he’s not sure how the news got leaked, but now that we know he’s happy to announce that a fun collab with Jordan is in the works.

No word yet on what kind of collab it’s going to be, but many sources are saying that it will be the an Air Jordan 4 that features KAWS?s signature ?X? on a translucent, glow-in-the-dark sole. It should also be noted that this collab could be releasing as early as March 1st. Stay tuned as more info on this highly anticipated KAWS x Air Jordan collaboration begins to surface.

Jordan Brand decided to give us more colorways of the Air Jordan 12 than we could handle in 2016 so I can’t blame you if you picked up a handful of pairs. I know I did. But the colorways didn’t start and end in 2016. There’s more to come from the Jordan 12 in 2017.

After seeing the return of the Air Jordan 15 this past weekend, up next for Jordan Brand is the return of the Air Jordan 12 Low. Featuring an all-black upper, this low top rendition of the Air Jordan 12 comes constructed out of nubuck with textured leather detailing on the mudguard. The only punch of color comes with the hits of Max Orange that are seen on the branding on the tongue, side panel, and heel.

You’ll be able to purchase this Air Jordan 12 beginning on January 14, 2017 for a retail price of $170.

Over the last few years Jordan Brand has been releasing new and old colorways of the Air Jordan 11 Low during the Spring and Summer seasons. This year we’ll see the tradition continue with the release of the Barons pair, among others.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Barons is inspired by the Birmingham Barons, the minor league that that Michael Jordan played baseball for during his first retirement. The shoe features a Black nubuck upper with an ash grey patent leather mudguard. Other details include Metallic Silver branding, a White midsole, and a milky white translucent outsole.

Look for the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons to release on May 27, 2017 for a retail price of $175.

Summertime is always the season of the Air Jordan 11 Low, as Jordan Brand brings the patent leather lowtop back in a number of new and old inspirations alike. The last time that we saw the Air Jordan 11 Low “Barons”, we previewed the grade school size run of the baseball-inspired colorway, but today we finally have a look at the adult size featuring a premium black upper with a unique gradient fade throughout the patent leather mudguard.

Michael Jordan’s first retirement came as a shock to many, especially when the greatest basketball player alive decided to ditch the hardwood for the baseball diamond. Mike signed a deal with the Chicago White Sox minor league affiliated Birmingham Barons, as the Sox muted white and black pinstripes were translated to the Double-A club. While there’s no pinstripes on this retro like in past Barons-referencing pairs, the black upper skips out on the Cordura mesh for a sturdier nubuck upper. The iridescent-like sheen found on the mudguard is similar to the Air Jordan 11 “72-10” but with the added benefit of Metallic Silver throughout.

What do you think of the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons? You can expect this pair to arrive in a family size run come April 2017, but there’s still no official Release Date pinned down just yet. Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

Jordan Brand will be celebrating the Chinese New Year in style this weekend with a Chinese exclusive release of their bold Jordan Chinese New Year Collection featuring the likes of two different Air Jordan 12 colorways and an updated Air Jordan 31. Each model features real Bamboo accents on the lace eyelets or heel depending on the silhouette while Chinese characters add to the celebratory motif. Today we get word that availability stateside will only continue to grow when the U.S. release date rolls around on January 28th, as retail giants like Foot Locker will be stocking the trio.

The Air Jordan 12 Chinese New Year features a “Taxi” like colorway in white and black with a unique mudguard pattern standing out. Chinese characters hit the tongue to match the Bamboo eyelets. The grade school girl’s pair takes a different approach as an off-white upper sees Team red on the lining add a dash of vibrancy. The Air Jordan 31 Chinese New Year aims to go an entirely different route thanks to a premium white leather heel giving way to the patented Swoosh gradient in black. Perhaps the most noticeable asset of this pair is the Bamboo heel contrasting the icy outsole.

Yo! We have big news to share with you! We just came across this huge rumor suggesting that a collaboration between Jordan Brand and KAWS is in the works! Although nothing is confirmed just yet, early rumors suggest it’s going to be an KAWS x Air Jordan 4 collab.

A while back, an Air Jordan 4 with a Black suede upper with hits of Gold sitting on top of glow-in-the-dark outsole displaying Kaws? signature X on the bottom leaked. With this rumor surfacing, it leads us to believe that that shoe could end up being the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 release.

Jordan news source J23App just tweeted the  ?Jordan x Kaws? rumor, being that they’re a reliable source, this “rumor” could very well end up being confirmed by Jordan Brand in the near future. As of right now, it’s being said that the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 will be releasing on March 1st, 2017. It should also be noted that the initial color scheme is said to be Cool Grey/White. Which is kind of odd since the initial color scheme was said to be Black and Gold. I guess we will have to wait and see what the real color scheme is.

If these do end up releasing, on a scale from 1-10, how hyped do you think these end up being? Do I even have to ask?! Stay tuned as more info begins to surface!

Serena Williams has dominated the world of women’s tennis in the same way that Michael Jordan dominated basketball during his prime, so it shouldn’t come as too big of a surprise that the Nike athlete will be getting her own Air Jordan 1 colorway in the near future. Today we get a first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Serena Williams in a grade school size run, as the familiar colorway of Vivid Pink and Black come together featuring Serena’s signature logo stitched on the heel and tongue. There’s still plenty to look forward to after the Air Jordan 1’s big year in 2016 with classic colorways like the Air Jordan 1 “Royal” slated to make a return in the near future, but what do you think of Serena’s exclusive AJ1 colorway holding down the grade school Jordan line? Check out a preview of the Air Jordan 1 Serena Williams below and stay tuned for an official Release Date right here on Sneaker News.

The first-ever “team” model released after Jordan Brand began in 1997, the Jordan Jumpman Pro looks to be back for another retro run to celebrate its 20th birthday. Built with a similar design as the Air Jordan 12, its official Air Jordan contemporary from the same year, the Jumpman Pro features a full-grain leather upper with a Zoom-cushioned sole. Hopefully a better quality retro than the last time the shoe appeared in 2008 with poor leather and no carbon fiber shanks, it looks like the original black and red colorway previewed here does at least have translucent red outsoles like the original, as opposed to the solid rubber on the ’08 version. Along with the original black, red, and white colorway, we see two all-new versions in white/cement and “Cool Grey”.

Are you happy to see the original team Jordan shoe return for its 20th birthday? Get a nice preview of the three upcoming colorways here, and we’ll let you know when they get confirmed release dates.
