With the recently featured Max Orange pair kicking off 2017, the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air is expected to release in the iconic Banned colorway as well next year.

Essentially dressed in the iconic BRED color scheme, a mixture of black and red simply covers the premium tumbled/smooth leather upper. Notable design elements for this style consists of an ?AIR JORDAN? lettering on the collar, instead of the traditional wings logo, in addition to ?Nike Air? embroidery across the heels.

Suggested retail price is listed at $140 and look for this pair to debut sometime in early 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

The Space Jam 11 madness has finally come to a close with that famous patent leather gem releasing at retailers this past weekend. So what else is on Jordan Brand’s schedule before the end of the year? The Air Jordan 3 made a slight comeback throughout 2016 with the simple yet effective Cyber Monday colorway and the return of the True Blue 3s with original ‘Nike Air’ branding on the heel. Now another new lifestyle installment will be headed to retailers this Saturday, December 17th with the Air Jordan 3 “Wool” in Dark Grey.

The Air Jordan 3 Wool takes the iconic 1988 silhouette to task in a new lifestyle aesthetic by ditching any traces of leather traditionalism and elephant print for a monochromatic Dark Grey wool upper perfect for the winter season. Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel matches to the point of almost being non-existent while an off-white Sail midsole and outsole unit adds a simple, refined finish to the casual colorway. What do you think of the Air Jordan 3 Wool?

Check out more detailed shots below and know that this pair will be available on Saturday, December 17th for $200 USD. Head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for more of the latest Jumpman updates.

The Air Jordan 12 had one hell of a year in 2016 as we saw countless colorways release all year long. So that means that things are gonna slow down in 2017, right? Nope.

There’s already a handful of Air Jordan 12s expected to release in 2017 with a majority of them being of the low top variety. Seen above is the Air Jordan 12 Low in Grey and Blue which some have been referring to as the Georgetown colorway. This Jordan 12 features a grey perforated suede upper with leather detailing on the mudguard. Blue hits then lands on the branding on the tongue and heel along with a subtle hit of yellow.

This brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 12 Low has a scheduled release date of March 18, 2017 with a retail price of $170. Make sure to click and bookmark our Air Jordan 12 Low Grey launch page to keep up with the latest images, release information, and other updates.

I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 12, but this colorway could have looked solid if more blue was added, perhaps on the mudguard. I’ll be passing on these.

We’re giving you a double dose of Air Jordan 12 news to you today as we just reported the release date for the Air Jordan 12 Low in Grey.

Look for the Air Jordan 12 Low Playoff to release on February 25, 2017 for $170. Will you cop?

If these were original Mid/High version then I would have copped in a heartbeat. I don’t really like 12 Lows so I’m gonna have to pass and continue to wait for the real thing.

The long-awaited Air Jordan 11 Space Jam finally made its debut yesterday. If you were prepared and ready for the release, you were probably able to get yourself a pair. If you decided to sleep in and waited an hour or two, there’s a good chance you missed out on one of the most anticipated Jordan Brand releases of the year. Damn.

What really amazes me is the fact that the sold-out (adult sizes) Air Jordan 11 Space Jam was such a success not just in North America, but all over the world as well.

Take for example Germany-based retailer, BSTN. Not only did they have a full-size run in-store for the whole family, they also decided to go the extra mile and convert their entire store into a Space Jam galore! From the giant Space Jam posters in the front of the store, to the Space Jam apparel complimenting the Air Jordan 11, to the sick Space Jam-themed lighting and displays all over the store, BSTN was definitely the place to be if you’re an Air Jordan 11 Space Jam fanatic.

Seeing retailers do stuff like this all over the world makes you realize how much of an impact Jordan Brand continues to have on the consumers on a worldwide level. No matter how many times this shoe has released and in what quantity or price it retails for, people will still go crazy over them time and time again. Amazing.

We hope you got a pair. If you didn’t, we suggest you hold of on paying resell prices. There’s bound to be a restock somewhere down the line.

Jordan Brand has added another great talent to their football roster as Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is now part of the family.

Reed was one of five NFL players to join Jordan Brand this season, the others being Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate, Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman and Jacksonville Jaguars rookie safety Jalen Ramsey. They join a roster of high-caliber NFL athletes already endorsed by Jordan Brand, including Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas.

Here’s what Reed had to say about joining the Jumpman family:

?It means a lot, man,? Reed said. ?Growing up looking up to [Michael Jordan] and things like that, now I?m sponsored by his brand. That?s a big thing and a big deal to me, at least.?

Reed has been a part of Jordan Brand since September when he signed right before the season opener.

The 2016 Heisman award winner was announced yesterday as University of Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson received the award that is given to the most outstanding player in college football.

Jabrill Peppers was one of the finalists who attends a Jordan Brand-sponsored school, Michigan. Before the winner was crowned, Jordan Brand presented Peppers with a custom pair of brand new Space Jam 11s that features lasered logos on the heel, and special lace dubraes. The shoes were also housed in a special box that pays homage to Michigan?s previous Heisman winner, Charles Woodson. Watch the video below as Peppers unboxes the sneakers for the first time.

The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air will be returning in a handful of new colorways. If you’re looking to pick up a pair that has an OG feel to it, take a look at this brand colorway that has the model done in a Black and White color scheme.

Rocking the same color scheme and color blocking as the OG Black and White Jordan 1, this Rare Air version trades in the Nike Air branding on the tongue in favor of the Jumpman, and replaces the Wings branding on the collar in exchange for “AIR JORDAN” branding done in bold White lettering. Not pictured is the Nike Air branding on the heel. Blending in nicely with the upper is the White and Black found on the midsole/outsole. Expect these to drop early next year.

They’re cool, but I think they’s get more attention had Jordan Brand decided to put some Nike Air branding on the tongue.

Jordan Brand has plenty of releases many of us are looking forward to in 2017. Today we also got word that the Jordan Son Of Mars is also making a return next year! One of Jordan Brand most recent and craziest hybrids returns to the spotlight after sitting on the sidelines for quite some time. The first color to leak is this brand new Black and Metallic Silver offering. Let’s get a closer look.

For those of you not too familiar with the Jordan Son Of Mars, it’s essentially a mash-up of a handful of Jordans put together to create a brand new design. This particular colorway is done in an all-Black leather upper, including the elephant print, the perforated panels, and even the lasered cross-strap. Black and Metallic Silver take care of the midsole, all while sitting on top of a Blue translucent outsole. Like what you see? Expect these to drop on January 1st for $160.

Not only does Jordan Brand have the nerve of bringing these back after an unsuccessful first run, they have the nerve of charging $160 for them! How?! Haha.

A premium iteration of the iconic Air Jordan 3 will be offered soon to close out 2016.

Straying from its usual leather construction, this variation evokes more lifestyle appeal and suited for the colder season instead. A cohesive textile fiber construction that enables more thermal insulation essentially covers its upper, while a sail white rubber sole unit further complements and caps off the classic, yet simple two-tone design. Notable details include Jumpman embroideries on the heel and tongue.

Priced at $200, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike stockists starting Saturday, December 17th.

I?m all for applying new materials on classic JB silhouettes. This pair doesn?t look that bad. Maybe I?m just biased but, the colorway is versatile and it?ll be suitable for the colder weather.

This Air Jordan 11 Low Barons consists as the next iteration of the classic basketball silhouette, which is expected to make its debut next year.

Reminiscent of MJ?s days with the Birmingham Barons in 1994 — a minor league baseball team and Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox major-league club — the model dons a subdued color palette of black, metallic silver and white.

The sneaker?s defining element is focalized on its patent leather overlays, rendered in ash grey, while tonal black nubuck comprises the remainder of its upper. Furthermore, details such as the number ?23? and Jumpman logos are embroidered on the heel tab. Finally, a crisp white sole unit rounds out the overall profile.

Retailing for $175, this pair is suggested to debut at select JB and Nike retailers sometime during April 2017.

Author’s Take

It does somewhat evoke the 72-10s a bit. I?m generally not a fan of the sneaker in low-cut I?m not really a fan of the silhouette in low-top form, but, it?s always an appealing profile.

Was thinking about buying these when I first saw pictures of them, but after seeing them more and more I decided I’ll pass. It would be too hard to wear these with the right thing.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid is not as popular as the OG High, or even the Low, but Jordan Brand continues to create and release new colorways.

One of the latest that will be closing out the year is this Sequoia colorway. Covered in a predominantly suede upper, leather overlays are then seen on the ankle and midfoot. Max Orange lands on the Jumpman logo with a white sole unit capping things off.

Look for this Sequoia colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Mid to release at Jordan Brand retailers in the near future.

Author’s Take

Unless it’s a real dope colorway, I don’t really mess with the Air Jordan 1 Mid too much. I prefer the high and low instead.

If you were a fan of the Air Jordan 12 Wool that dropped not too long ago, we’re pretty sure you’re also going to want to pick up a pair of the Air Jordan 3 Wool. Done in a similar construction and color scheme, the new look Jordan 3 is only one week away.

An ideal look for the current season, this version of the Air Jordan 3 opts for a very minimal aesthetic as the entire upper comes in a tonal fashion as it’s seen done in a wool constructed upper. No contrast, no elephant print, just a simple wool design, which also happens to include the branding on the tongue and heel. Matching colored laces and lining complete the simple look of the upper. Below is an off-White sole to complete the major traits of the shoe. This premium version of the Air Jordan 3 will be releasing on December 17th for the retail price of $200. Is this a must-cop?

Author’s Take

I’m actually a fan of this new wool construction, but I don’t see myself picking up a pair because I don’t see myself wearing a wool-constructed pair of sneakers very often. Living in Southern California does that to you. I’m not complaining though.
