In addition to the AJ 6 Black Cat, this Air Jordan 6 GS Purple Dynasty will consist as its last iteration of the silhouette to close out 2016.

Noted as a women?s exclusive, the basketball sneaker is defined by a monochromatic makeover with a subdued dark purplish hue essentially covering its entire nubuck upper. Continued towards its midsole unit, tongue, laces, inner lining and heel tab — the tonal look is juxtaposed against a translucent white outsole, which caps off its simple color scheme.

Retailing for a price tag of $140, you can purchase this variation at select JB and Nike stockists starting Friday, December 30th.

Jordan Brand?s holiday 2016 collection will conclude with the release of this Air Jordan 6 Black Cat, as it?s scheduled to drop on the last day of the year.

Flaunts a stealthy black leather composition with enlarged perforations throughout to promote sufficient ventilation, the perforated portion bears a reflective element to increase its visibility in low-lit conditions when exposed to flash for additional versatility.

Unlike the all-black AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions ? this variation receives pristine white accents gracing the midsole unit and Jumpman branding to round out its understated profile. Although not shown in this gallery, a graphic of its respective theme is also placed on the insoles.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase a pair at select Nike and JB stockists on Friday, December 31th, 2016.

We just went over an all-Red version of the Jordan Melo M13 Christmas. That shoe is available for purchase and will release on Jordan.com on January 1st. The Jordan Melo M13 Christmas PE you see above is the one Carmelo Anthony will probably be wearing during his NBA game on Christmas Day.

Unlike the pair releasing to the public, this colorway opts to stay away from the tonal look and instead come with a more traditional White, Red and Black color scheme. Remember, all these Christmas PE’s also pay homage to the Air Jordan 13 OG, which is the reason why they all come in the same color scheme. The majority of the shoe comes in Red and White, while the hits of Black are used on the Jumpman and outsoles. Which pair of the Melo M13 do you prefer more, this one or the all-Red pair? Check out Carmelo beating these up during his NBA game on Christmas day.

As most of you probably know by now, Jordan Brand recently announced that the Air Jordan 13 in the OG colorway would be making a return next year as it’s set to release on February 18th for $190. In addition to that info we also got word that Jordan Brand would be coming out with a special set of Jordan Brand Christmas PEs that also pay homage to that very same upcoming Air Jordan 13. One model taking part in the collection is the Jordan Extra.Fly Christmas PE  you see above.

The Jordan Extra.Fly Christmas PE also dons a Red, White and Black color scheme, and as a way to pay respects the the retro, it also comes with the shoe’s OG hologram featured on the tongue.

What, you thought Jordan Brand would release their 2016 Christmas collection without featuring the Jordan CP3 X? Come on, man! Of course not. The Jordan CP3 X Christmas PE will also be a part of the collection of PE colorways that pay homage to the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 13 OG dropping in February.

Just like all the other PE colorways in the collection, this pair also comes in a White, Red and Black color scheme. White and Red takes care of most of the shoe, while the Black is only used for the Jumpman and part of the outsole. As a way to show its respect to the Jordan 13, it also comes with the iconic green AJXIII OG hologram featured on the tongue. Chris Paul will debut these sneakers on Christmas day as his Clippers take the court against the Los Angeles Lakers.

A few years back, Jordan Brand made a big splash in the lifestyle department with the Air Jordan 11-inspired Jordan Future silhouette. The combination of a seamless woven upper, asymmetrical lacing construction, and familiar icy outsole unit made the Jordan Future hard to pass up on. The Jumpman has since moved on to other endeavors, but now they’re bringing the blueprint back this winter for the Jordan Future Boot.

Today we get a first detailed look at the Jordan Future Boot, as the traditional icy Air Jordan 11 outsole stays intact with bolstered boot-like grooves to help you withstand the winter elements in style. The Cool Grey upper sees an interwoven Jacquard pattern with varying degrees of dark gey’s forming a near argyle pattern. Air Jordan 12-inspired lace eyelets mix with more traditional workboot elements while a leather tongue tab features embossed Jumpman branding. What do you think of the model? Stay tuned for more photos in the near future and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for more of the Jumpman’s retro schedule throughout the new year.
