Will You Be Picking Up The Air Jordan 1 Low Pinnacle Metallic Silver Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
One of the flashiest Air Jordan retros of 2016 will be hitting retailers tomorrow with the release of the Air Jordan 1 Low Pinnacle Metallic Silver.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Michael Jordan capturing his first NBA title, this low top Air Jordan 1 comes covered in a full Metallic Silver upper and has taken the ?Swoosh-less? look that we?ve already seen a few other times this year. Tonal laces, Nike Air branding on the tongue, and a white sole unit complete the look on this Air Jordan 1.
Retailing for $160, will this be a cop or pass for you? Let us know down below.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Keep Or Resell The Satin Air Jordan 1 Banned
By SoleInsider
Somehow someway Jordan Brand manages to one up themselves multiple times in a week. I don’t know how they do it (actually I do and it’s because we are suckers), but in a span of less than a week, they have managed to capture the attention of the sneaker world with three (four if you count the early Black Toe release) high-profile, high-priced retros. That’s why they keep on winning no matter how many general releases flood the stores. We keep coming back for more, as evidenced by this mostly Jordan edition of Buy, Pass, Wait.
Satin Air Jordan 1 Banned: Keep Or Resell?
Andrea Capone
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (RESELL) I don’t wear 1s in general because I feel like death is creeping up on me when I put them on now, but I also generally prefer my Jordans have leather uppers, not ones that make them look and feel like Starter jackets. I can sell or trade these and get several pairs of Jordans I actually like so that’s a no-brainer to me.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (RESELL) I’ve seen $4k – $5k on eBay already. Due to its limited number and obvious exclusivity, I would rather resell and gain the profit. I guess it depends on what your priorities are. Oh and btw, I was so close. I wasn’t even aware of the surprise pop-up shop that morning and I was actually walking in the area, which already had a long line. Nice job JB, smh.
Renz Ofiaza
Andres Carrillo, News: (RESELL) I heard these are going for like $1,800. You know how many other shoes I can buy with that money??? Definitely resell.
Juan Carrillo, News: (RESELL) I’m 99.9% sure if these weren’t limited, they’d be sitting on shelves. A satin Jordan 1? Come on, man. Most of y’all are lying if you said you like these without knowing they’re limited. No doubt in my mind I’d resell these. If you want them, who am I to stop you from getting them, haha.
EIC Juan: (PASS) I like gaudy sneakers and these are as gaudy as it gets. Problem is the price tag puts them way out of the “ironic purchase” range. Sign me up though if they pop up at the Nike Outlet Store for around a hundred bucks and even that’s too high.
Renz: (BUY) The colorway is one of my favorites, and it’s on one of my favorite Jordan silhouettes. I’m actually considering to buy just to resell, hahaha.
Andres: (PASS) I like the Air Jordan 6 but I only own one pair. The inspiration behind this colorway is cool, but it’s just too flashy. This is a shoe that would be hard to wear on a regular basis. And I’m not going to spend $250 on a shoe that I can only wear on New Year’s Eve.
News Juan: (PASS) Gold sneakers are hit or miss with me sometimes. In some models, they look amazing, in others not so much. That’s not to say this is a bad looking sneaker, I just feel like there’s something missing to give it that finishing touch. Plus, it should not be retailing for $250, it’s not like it’s made out of real gold.
EIC Juan: (PASS) The price tag is out of my range, but that could change the closer we get to the online release. I wish I could see them in person first to really get a fell for how they actually look. The pictures that we’ve seen make the rounds vary in quality and look that I can’t quite grasp what shade of teal it really is.
Renz: (BUY) I was never into this particular style, but, I’m a fan of the teal finish. Years ago, I would’ve worn this in a heartbeat, but, yeah, would buy to just resell right now.
Andres: (PASS) I love that more collaborations are being released with silhouettes that we hardly hear or about or see. But I feel that more could have been done with this Jordan 23. Maybe add some black and silver to make it resemble the old Marlins logo a bit more. All teal is just too plain in my opinion.
News Juan: (PASS) Big fan of Teal colored sneakers. It looks pretty good on the model as well. I just feel like I won’t wear it that much and being that it’s $275, I just can make myself pay that much money for a shoe I’ll wear 3-4 times a year.
Nike Air Foamposite One Maroon
Nike
EIC Juan: (WAIT) There are a lot of Foams just sitting in stores right now like they’re GR Jordans. I like the Maroon color, but I’m comfortable letting them drop in price until I see a number that I like. What a time to be alive…
Renz: (WAIT) One of the nicest colorways on the sneaker so far. It’ll be a popular purchase since it’s available in full family sizes, but, I’d rather buy it in at a lower price.
Andres: (PASS) One of the better Foamposites to release this year. The combination of a burgundy upper and a gum outsole is hard not to like. With that being said, I still can’t see myself buying a pair of Foams. Maybe for $150 I’d consider buying.
News Juan: (PASS) Not a fan of the Foam line, but I am a fan of the color Maroon. The gum bottom is pretty dope to. With all that being said, it’s still not enough to make me want to own a pair off these.

The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle In Gold Releases Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle is almost here, but strangely enough, the luxurious Metallic Gold lifestyle creation won’t be available on Nike.com this weekend. Instead, Jordan Brand and Nike are making their latest Pinnacle series installment available only in stores.
The Air Jordan 6 “Pinnacle” doesn’t feature any actual 24K gold accents like its predecessors; instead, a premium Metallic Gold patent leather wraps around the entirety of the Air Jordan 6 while contrasting white makes for a smooth transition to the midsole and outsole unit. The good news about the lack of actual gold on this pair means that this will be the most affordable Pinnacle selection with a retail price of $250 USD.
Check out more photos after the break and while this Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle “Metallic Gold” pair won’t be available on Nike.com this Saturday, select shops like Wish ATL will have this pair in stock.
Air Jordan 4 Royalty In Black/Gold Releasing In 2017
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand won’t stop at their Pinnacle Series when introducing the tried and true retro classic in the Air Jordan 4 to new colorways with a touch of luxury. This coming January 2017 the Jumpman will introduce the Air Jordan 4 “Royalty” to the world, a new look that pairs Black suede and nubuck together with Metallic Gold touches throughout.
There’s no exact date for the Air Jordan 4 Royalty, but we do know that it will help kick off Jordan Brand’s retro catalog for the new year with a bang. The simple colorway pairs a black base with Metallic Gold on the Jumpman branding – while the tongue keeps the traditional ‘Flight’ work mark intact, from these early photos we can see that the heel branding gets updated with more of a pendant look. A white midsole and outsole combination adds a clean finish to the understated, luxurious aesthetic.
Check out some teaser shots of this upcoming Air Jordan 4 Royalty and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.
If the $400 price tag doesn’t scare you away, feel free to continue reading. What you see above is this premium version of the Air Jordan 11 set to release this holiday season. Dubbed the Air Jordan 11 Suede, the shoe was made for a special kid through Jordan Brand?s Make-A-Wish experience. Done in an all-suede upper, the shoe was made for a child by the name of Rhome Simpkins. His pair came with his ?RS? initials embossed on the heels. Other features aside from the Grey suede upper include the embossed Jumpman branding on the heel, the leather quilted insoles and the White contrasting midsole. Are you feeling this luxe version of the Jordan 11? If so, are you prepared to pay $400 for them? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Aside from the price tag being a little too high for me, I?m just not satisfied with the overall look of the shoe. What if Jordan Brand had decided to keep the patent leather on the toe/mudguard instead of making the entire shoe a suede. There?s a thought, right?
The 2016-2017 NCAA basketball season is less than a month away. One thing you can expect to see are many of the Jordan Brand school rocking school exclusive pairs of the Air Jordan 31. The latest Jordan Brand represented school that gets their own Jordan 31 is none other than Georgetown. Done in the school’s colors, the Jordan XXXI comes in a soft Grey upper accented by the Navy hits on the lining, the Metallic Silver trim, the White on the midsole and the icy outsole that houses the Georgetown and Jumpman branding. Expect the see Georgetown players rocking these during the season opener on November 12th.
Heads up Air Jordan 4 fans, a fresh new colorway is said to be releasing in a few months. Currently known as the Air Jordan 4 Royalty, this clean iteration of the model boasts a timeless Black and Gold colorway. Here’s a first look at the shoe.
The official colorway of the Air Jordan 4 Royalty is currently listed as Black/Metallic Gold and White. Our first look at the shoe suggests that the upper is done in a Black suede, which is something we’ve seen on the model several times in the past. The most noteworthy part of the shoe though, lies in the Metallic Gold hits noted on the eyelets and Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel. A clean White midsole and set of Black laces round out the look of the shoe. Fairly simple in color scheme, but in my opinion Black and Gold sneakers are always a winning combination. Said to be dropping on January 2017, stay tuned as more info begins to surface on the Air Jordan 4 Royalty.
With this range celebrating MJ?s first NBA championship (1991), this variation of the slide is essentially elevated with more lifestyle flair. The defining theme is prominent across its adjustable strap, while it?s juxtaposed nicely against a crisp white injected sole unit. In addition, a Solarsoft footbed and flex grooves on the outsole offers additional comfort and natural range of motion.
Retailing for a price tag of $75, you can purchase this standout slide at select JB and Nike retailers starting tomorrow, Saturday, October 22.
The entire range is notably a tribute to MJ?s first NBA championship in 1991 and essentially celebrates the 25th anniversary of that special achievement. With this particular pair showcased in a much more detailed perspective, the silhouette is defined by its shimmering flair with the defining hue covering its entire leather upper.
Other details include 3M reflective accents on the heel and tongue, as well as a swooshless design for a cleaner look. Finally, a crisp white rubber sole unit rounds out the simplistic design.

I really like how it looks swooshless. The colorway is pretty appealing as well and it?s a stylish pair in general. I?d prefer wearing this over the gold AJ 6, just because it?s a bit more understated.
