For Jordan Brand, it’s easy to reference moments in Michael’s past simply because his career is perhaps the most storied of all-time. His sudden retirement in 1993 and his foray into professional baseball is one that’s been recalled time and time again through the “Barons” releases, and it appears that next April, Jordan Brand may be going back to that storyline with the help of the Air Jordan 11 Low. While there’s nothing truly “Barons” about the release outside of the simple black/white/silver colorway, the shoes do drop at the start of the new MLB season. Will you be copping the Air Jordan 11 Low “Barons” next April? A firm date hasn’t been set just yet, but stay tuned to our Jordan Release Dates page for the latest.

The 2016 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam will be arriving this weekend, as it caps off the celebration of the film?s 20th anniversary which recently occurred on November 15.

Compared to the previous 2009 retro, this particular rendition essentially stays true to its OG build, similar to the pair that MJ first wore during the 1995 NBA Playoffs. A higher cut black patent leather overlay encompasses the upper, while classic Concord Jumpman branding, and the number ?45? is stitched on the back heel.

Although not pictured, this 2016 edition will be packaged in a special Looney Tunes-themed box with cartoon graphics to further commemorate the iconic movie.

Full family sizes will be offered, with adult sizes retailing for $220, followed by GS, PS, TD and Crib sizes listed at $170, $90, $70 and $55 respectively.

Purchase a pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, December 10th.

I?m not a big fan of the patent leather overlay?s higher placement, but, this is one of my favorite sneakers ever. I?m just glad it?s being released again and hopefully in lots of quantities.

With the AJ 11 Space Jam set to debut this weekend, the more premium Air Jordan 11 Suede is scheduled to follow soon after.

Following a surprise release this past November 11th at KITH and CNCPTS in New York for a promotional/celebratory 11/11 theme, sources indicate that the sneaker will debut on December 23 — the day before Christmas Eve.

Essentially a fashionable/lifestyle variation of the iconic silhouette, distinguishable design elements consist of leather quilted insoles, debossed Jumpman logos and no traditional ?23? embroidery on the heels. Finally, a crisp white midsole unit and slightly milky translucent outsole finishes off luxe design.

Retail price is listed at $400 and quantities are expected to be extremely limited.

I like the different material utilized on this silhouette. It?s nice to see something different and it?s time to see some change. This offering is pretty solid and stylish in my opinion.

I?m not really into the low-cut design, but, this pair is an appealing colorway. Hopefully we?ll see the olive detailing once more detailed images arise.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Barons is defined by an understated color scheme which is 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.

Dressed in a palette of black, metallic silver and white — the sneaker?s defining element is highlighted on its patent leather overlays in ash grey. Tonal black nubuck comprises the remainder of its upper, while distinguishable details consists of ?23? and Jumpman logos embroidered on the heel tab. Finally, a crisp white sole unit rounds out the overall profile.

Priced at $175, this pair is suggested to make its 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.

A week ago we got our first look at what is believed to be the next Jordan Brand signature shoe of Carmelo Anthony, the Jordan Melo M13. Today we can almost confirm that this is in fact Melo’s next signature model with the Jumpman. Here are the shoe’s latest images.

The Jordan Melo M13 goes for a different look this time around. Out are the extensive overlays and TPU heel counters, in is a much more minimal look with a very unique sleek looking pattern all over the upper. The same motif you see on the upper is also on the entire sole unit. Speaking of the sole, it appears to come with Zoom Air cushioning and a shank for added stability. This particular colorway comes in Black with hits of Metallic Gold placed on the areas of branding to give it a nice pop. Said to be dropping early 2017, do you like the route Jordan Brand is taking with their Melo line?

I’m not going to lie, it actually looks pretty cool. It’s not something I’m used to seeing on the Melo signature line, but as the saying goes, “change is good”/

We’re just days away from the release of the Space Jam 11, the patent-leather basketball sneaker that was made famous in the film Space Jam and during MJ’s first comeback late in the ’94-’95 NBA season. The shoes are readied a restructured mudguard upper to match the exact specifications of the pair made for the film, but that’s not all – the 4-5 is indeed back. It’s being noted that the Space Jam 11 Jordans are not exactly a limited release as stores across the globe will carry them, but given the insanely high demand, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll be able to buy a pair with ease. The shoes drop this Saturday, December 10th at retailers like Livestock, but will also be at Foot Locker, Finishline, and Nike.com.

Space Jam season is in full effect as the Air Jordan 9 and Air Jordan 31 kicked off the festivities this past weekend. But the real party takes place this upcoming Saturday with the Air Jordan 11.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Space Jam movie, Jordan Brand has decided to bring back this Air Jordan 11 that was worn by Michael Jordan during the 1995 NBA Playoffs. This remastered OG-inspired version features a black cordura mesh upper with a higher patent leather cut on the mudguard, a “45” on the heels, and Concord accents on the branding.

Releasing on December 10th (Saturday) in full family sizing, let us know in the comments below if you plan on grabbing a pair.

The more I see these the more I like them. I just wish that Jumpman was blue instead of purple (at least I think it?s purple), but you won?t be able to tell unless you?re up close so I can deal with it. Haha.

The post A Close Up Look At The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam That Releases This Weekend appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Jordan Brand is always releasing new silhouettes from their lifestyle or training division that get little to no exposure from the brand. One of the latest that we have just caught wind of is the Jordan Impact that we see above.

Labeled as a training shoe, the Jordan Impact features a low top cut with a mesh upper and synthetic overlays. “JORDAN” has been written on the side panels while Jumpman branding appears on the tongue and heel. At the moment there’s 4 colorways options available of Gym Red, Cool Grey, Dark Grey, and Black with each pair retailing for $100.

Will you cop or pass? Let us know in the comments below.

There’s lots of other trainers out there that I prefer over these. They may be Jordan Brand, but I’ll pass.

After nearly a full year of speculation, leaks and everything in between, the 20th anniversary model of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam is finally dropping this weekend. Depending on who you talk to, however, that news is being met with eager anticipation or quiet loathing.

On the one hand, purists are in love with the 2016 drop because it is essentially a reissue of the Air Jordan 11 that Michael Jordan wore when he made his first comeback to the NBA in 1995. With a higher patent leather cut and the number 45 on the heel, this weekend’s release has a number of glaring differences from the 11s that Jordan wore in the movie. In the minds of many sneakerheads, the 2001 release and 2009 retro are the true Space Jams. Jordan Brand has been careful to market the 11 as more of the latter, but with the 20th anniversary of Space Jam coinciding with this release, they knew that the lines will be blurred and the movie tie-in was going to be inevitable.

So before you decide to cop a pair this weekend (which shouldn’t be a problem it seems), here’s a look at both the upcoming pair and the 2009 classic. Which one is the superior Air Jordan 11 Space Jam?

For more information on the kicks that’s dropping this weekend, be sure to check out our Air Jordan 11 Space Jam launch page for all the latest info, images, videos and links to buy on Saturday.

After a first preview last week, you can now get your best look yet at Carmelo Anthony’s next signature shoe, the Jordan Melo M13. If you’re like us, the first thing you’ll notice?whether you love it or hate it?is that it’s definitely at least more interesting and unique than the last few Melo models (M10-12, specifically) that although have been great performers, have been a little bland style-wise. For signature model #13, the Melo line ups the ante with an aggressive and stealthy-looking diamond-armored upper with a light and breathable mesh base, all sitting atop a Zoom Air cushioning platform below.

Is this Melo’s best shoe in years? Inspect them fully here in the debut black and gold colorway and let us know what you think while we wait for an official announcement and release info from Jordan Brand.

Was the Air Jordan 12 the most important retro in Jordan Brand’s 2016 lineup? Not only did we get such classics as the Flu Games and French Blues, but the Jumpman did us a solid by switching things up with an all Deep Royal Blue pair, teased another Drake OVO installment, and hinted at a plethora of Air Jordan 12 Lows for the coming year. Apparently, that’s not all either as today we get a first look at the Air Jordan 12 Red October.

For those of you who are fans of the premium monochromatic look, the Air Jordan 12 “Deep Royal” is still readily available, but there’s always been an added sense of exclusivity for all-red sneakers. Perhaps it’s the lasting Kanye Red October influence years later. The Jordan 12 Red October champions a similar construction to the Deep Royal release, as a synthetic suede upper contrasts the premium leather hit on the asymmetrical mudguard. Added Metallic Red lace eyelets add a touch of luxury while exposed Carbon Fiber hits the outsole.

Check out more preview shots of the potential Air Jordan 12 Red October below and stay tuned for more Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

While an Air Jordan 12 Low Red Suede is rumored to debut next year, it’s been also suggested that the basketball silhouette will be offered in a tonal red finish according to recent reports, which follows up on the previous Deep Royal Blue theme.

With this gallery consisting as an early preview, the model in its original cut, is composed of a smooth suede and textured leather composition for a premium feel. Metallic red accents for the eyelets and branded side panels further pronounce its vibrant profile, while it’s topped off with a matching red sole unit. In addition, subtle hits of white and metallic silver are prominent on the outsole.

Priced at $190, a release date has not been confirmed yet, although, rumors suggest its arrival sometime during 2017.

I’m biased towards this shade and it looks great on the silhouette. This should garner a lot of attention, either on purpose or not.
