Solid iterations of the line. Hopefully a few styles will release to the public sometime in the future.

The Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard has arrived at select accounts overseas first, while the sneaker will make its debut stateside by next weekend.

Flaunting a color scheme that is similar to the iconic ?Chicago? theme, this palette however, is inspired by the infamous jersey that MJ wore during an exhibition match in Italy during 1985, although flaunting a reverse finish. Composed of premium tumbled and smooth leather, the vibrant profile is nicely subdued by black accents gracing the Swooshes, wings logo, collar section and laces.

Priced at $160, you can purchase this standout pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, October 8th. Men’s sizing will be only offered.

Author’s Take

I still prefer the original pair, but, this rendition is pretty solid as well. This should garner the attention it deserves.

The Air Jordan 12 Playoff edition is expected to return next year as part of JB’s standout Spring 2017 lineup, although this time, in a new low-top profile.

Showcasing its initial look, the sneaker seems to stay true to its original makeup. The basketball silhouette is rendered in a simplistic color scheme of black and white across its premium leather upper, mudguard and throughout its rubber sole unit. Contrasting accents are evidenced with metallic silver metal eyelets are added, in addition to pops of varsity red gracing the tongue branding, ?23? PE and heel tab.

Expect this model to debut at select JB and Nike stockists sometime during Spring 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Author’s Take

I prefer its original cut a lot, but, this rendition should garner enough attention as well. The colorway is a classic and you can’t go wrong with a pair.

The post First Look At The Air Jordan 12 Low Playoff appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

More iterations of the Air Jordan 12 continue to be unveiled, as this latest rendition consists of a low-top in a brand new colorway.

Sporting a predominantly grey hue across what seems to be a nubuck-based upper and leather overlays along the forefoot, the monochromatic makeup is complemented with hits of navy blue and yellow accents gracing the rear, insoles and outsole.

Perhaps this may be a nod to Jordan Brand?s newest partnership with Michigan, the release date for this pair is suggested to be sometime during Spring 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Author’s Take

I don’t really like the sneaker in this low-cut profile, but, I do like the tonal finish. I would’ve preferred it on its original profile.

Jordan Brand will be giving you a new cozy option to pick up tomorrow with the release of the Air Jordan 12 Wool.

All of the wool material on the upper has been done in Dark Grey with Black leather overlays on the mudguard. Metallic Silver accents also appear on the upper eyelets to give the shoe a finishing touch.

Author’s Take

I like the new wool construction on the Air Jordan 12 but I think it would have looked better in all-black. So I won?t be spending $200 plus tax since I don?t ?really? like it. Also I don’t see myself wearing this shoe that much if I were to buy it.

Back in 2013 Russell Westbrook broke out a Oklahoma City Thunder PE colorway of the Air Jordan 3 as the Thunder faced the Los Angeles Lakers. After seeing that exclsuive colorway for that one game, we have not seen it ever since. Until today.

Pictured above are detailed images of that very same shoe that was worn by the current face of Jordan Brand. This Thunder-inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 3 features a Black leather upper with blue, yellow, and orange accents to complete the Thunder look. The traditional elephant print in black and grey is also seen on the toe and ankle/heel. It’s being said that only about 10 pairs of these are in existence with four of them belonging to Russell Westbrook. The pair above belongs to sneaker collector and photographer Anthony Jordan and the others were given out to “friends and family.”

Take a detailed look at the shoe above and let us know your thoughts.

While we all prepare to take our “L” tomorrow on the SNKR’s drawing for the Air Jordan 12 OVO White, let’s take a look at some OVO x Air Jordan apparel and accessories that will also be releasing tomorrow.

While it’s no question that the Air Jordan 12 is the holy grail of this collection, there are plenty of other items that you may be able to get your hands on to complement, or if you miss out on the 12s. Some of the OVO x Air Jordan items in this collection include joggers, hoodies, t-shirts, headbands, wrist bands, and more. The majority of the items come in white and gold to match up with the Air Jordan 12s.

We all know that this has been the year of the Air Jordan 12, but Jordan Brand is taking things a step further by also releasing Air Jordan 12 baseball cleats.

Four new color options are beginning to arrive at select retailers now including Black, Silver, Blue, and Red. With the 2016 MLB Playoffs starting in a few days, the timing for these couldn’t be any better. Each pair retails for $95, which is less than half the retail price of an original basketball version of the Air Jordan 12.

Any baseball fans out there plan on scooping up a pair? Or maybe even people that collect Air Jordan 12s?

The Air Jordan 12 frenzy continues as we now take a look at official images of the next GS pair that will hit retailers next week.

Featuring a premium tumbled leather throughout the majority of the upper, this Air Jordan 12 for the ladies has some Charlotte Hornets vibes to it as Blue Cap dominates the leather upper. Dark Purple Dust can then be seen on the laces, midsole, outsole, inner liner, heel, and the branding. The upper eyelets have been done in Metallic Silver to provide a slight pop to this Air Jordan 12 that will be arriving at retailers on October 8th for $140.

Author’s Take

Not sure what JB was thinking with this colorway. If the majority of the shoe was done in white with blue & purple serving as the accent colors it would have looked much better. I’m sure lots of guys would have even picked up a pair.

Today, Michigan is unveiling their new basketball uniforms at the school (and Michael Jordan chose to attend the Ryder Cup instead of joining the festivities in Ann Arbor). What the Jumpman x M parternship signifies for sneakerheads is the possibility of navy and yellow colorways of Jordan Retros, and this Air Jordan 12 Low, slated for a release in 2017, is just a glimpse of what may come. Featuring an all-grey upper and sole, this low-top AJ12 makes use of the iconic navy/yellow one-two punch on the sole and heel-tab to suggest the UMich vibe. We’ll let you know when these arrive in stores, but for now, expect these and the Playoffs next year.

The wait is finally over for the highly anticipated Air Jordan 12 “OVO”. Images of the pristine white and gold Air Jordan 12 by Drake first surfaced in December of 2013 and since then, sneaker and hip hop fans alike have been patiently waiting for the opportunity to get their hands on what might be the most anticipated version of the silhouette to date. Originally rumored to release this summer, to the dismay of many, the drop was postponed to an unknown date. Until last week, when Jordan Brand announced that the next “October’s Very Own” sneaker will fittingly release on October 1st.

The Air Jordan 12 “OVO” will be released tomorrow morning via Nike SNKRS Drawing, and will also be available on the OVO online store (OctobersVeryOwn.com) and OVO stores in Toronto and LA at 10 A.M. EST in very limited quantities. A full range of apparel and accessories including t-shirts, hats, fleece hoodies and pants, headbands, wristbands, and bags will also be available.
