WWE Kicks: TJ Perkins Wears Air Jordan 6 Infrared To Clash Of Champions

When you’re the newly minted WWE Cruiserweight Champion that’s about to make his debut at a pay-per-view, you bring out the special kicks to fit the occasion. Shane McMahon did it right with one-of-a-kind Air Jordan XXX PEs for Wrestlemania 32 and Enzo Amore, well, Enzo treats every event like a special occasion. TJ Perkins won the critically-acclaimed Cruiserweight Classic in the Air Jordan XXX1 USA and it looks like he might be going to the Jordan Brand well again for his debut on the main roster.

In an Instagram post earlier today, Perkins was wearing the Air Jordan 6 Infrared prior to the show. On his Twitter feed, it looked like he was originally going to wear the Nike Kobe 10 What The but changed his mind at the last minute. Whether or not Perkins will wear the Infareds to the ring later tonight remains to be seen, but he has said in the past that these are one of his favorite kicks.

OVO x Air Jordan Hydro Slides Are Also Releasing

ovo jordan slides 1 ovo jordan slides 2

Not to be outdone by this weekend’s Yeezy drop, Jordan Brand also had a big announcement this weekend, in the form of letting everyone know that the Air Jordan 12 OVO White will actually release and will be doing so next weekend! Many of us have wanted this shoe to drop for the longest time, and now it’s less than a week away.

If you love all things OVO x Jordan, we also got work that the Drake x Jordan collaboration could also be dropping a pair of slides to go along with your upcoming potential purchase. The OVO x Air Jordan Hydro Slide features the same color scheme as next weekend’s biggest drop as a White and Gold makeup takes care of the entire slide. OVO embroidery appear on the cross-straps, while Jumpman branding can be seen on the lateral side. We’re assuming these will drop around the same time that the Air Jordan 12 OVO White, are you getting a pair?

Earlier this month, Russell Westbrook was in China promoting the release of the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 31 Banned. While he was there he was wearing not one, but two different colorways of the Jordan Westbrook 0.2. One of those colorways happens to be the one you see above. Today we get a closer look at the shoe.

As most of you know, the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 is not a basketball/performance shoe, it’s more of a lifestyle offering createe for everyday casual use. This colorway has the shoe come in a Black and Camo motif where the Black takes care of the majority of the shoe, while the Camo can be found on the collar/heel, midfoot and tongue. Although no official images have been provided by Jordan Brand, Westbrook has been spotted wearing the model more than just a few times.

A Sneak Peak At The Air Jordan 6 Chameleon

Just yesterday we gave you a first look at a GS version of the Air Jordan 6 that has the shoe come in a Navy suede upper. One day later we have another upcoming Air Jordan 6 to share with you. Said to be named the Air Jordan 6 Chameleon, here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come.

The only pictures provided show the lateral side and heel area of the  Air Jordan 6 Chameleon. The shoe appears to be constructed out of a Black leather. The heel shoes a blacked-out Jumpman inside a hexagon shape. Perforations appear on the leather side panels, while the laces and tongue also appear to come in Black. The only part of the shoe that has the Chameleon theme is found on the lace tips. We’re pretty sure more of the Chameleon motif is placed on the shoe, we just know know where (yet). Thoughts? Stay tuned as more images begin to surface.

With the colder months officially approaching, this latest iteration of the Air Jordan 1 is constructed to perfectly suit the season.

Straying from its traditional leather build, the basketball sneaker now boasts dark grey-colored wool for its tongue and toe box, in addition to black wool gracing the side panels and collar section. This makeup essentially increases the sneaker?s thermal insulation. Furthermore, black leather is utilized for the majority of its upper to finish off its makeup.

Other notable details include metallic silver Swooshes, a white midsole unit with subtle grey speckling and black outsole.

Retailing for $120, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike retailers nationwide now.

New Release Date For The Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard

AIR JORDAN 1 7 AIR JORDAN 1 8 AIR JORDAN 1 9 AIR JORDAN 1 10

Just like the Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard, Jordan Brand has pushed back the release date for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Reverse Shattered Backboard.

Originally expected to drop on October 1st, we have now learned that the release of the Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard has been pushed back a week and is now scheduled to drop on October 8th. This Air Jordan 1 is believed to be a “reverse” version of the Shattered Backboard 1s that released last year but it actually uses the same color scheme as the Chicago 1s and replaces the red with orange. As we saw with Mache Customs earlier today, this Air Jordan 1 uses a premium leather all throughout the upper.

Will you be copping a pair come October 8th? Retail price will be $160. Be sure to visit our Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard hub page for all up to the minute release info and images.

Author’s Take

I missed out on the Shattered Backboards last year and I’m still a little salty over it. Maybe this can be a good alternative since I don’t wanna pay $500 for the original Shattered Backboards.

AIR JORDAN 31 1 AIR JORDAN 31 2 AIR JORDAN 31 3 AIR JORDAN 31 4

Previously expected to release next week on October 1st, Jordan Brand has just changed the release date for the Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard.

Inspired by the highly coveted colorway of the Air Jordan 1 that released last year, Jordan Brands’ newest signature sneaker takes on the Shattered Backboard look as black, orange, and white come together on the Flyweave and leather upper. Additional details include a shattered backboard graphic on the inner tongue, and a translucent gum outsole.

Look for the Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard to release on the new date of October 8, 2016 for a retail price of $185.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Barons Could End Up Looking Like This

We recently reported that an Air Jordan 11 Low Barons is set to release sometime next year. Although there hasn’t been any confirmation of what the shoe will end up looking like, we recently came across this image that shows what the shoe could potentially end up looking like.

As of today, all we know is that the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons will come in a Black/Metallic Silver and White color scheme. So seeing it done in the manner in which you see it above is certainly not out of the question. A Black mesh is combined with a Metallic Silver patent leather noted on the toe and mudguard. Additional Black can be seen on the laces and lining, while the combination of a White midsole and translucent outsole is spotted below. Said to be priced at $175, keep it locked to Kicks on Fire to find out if the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons will actually end up looking like this. Hot or not?

Author’s Take

I’d be okay if the shoes end up looking like this. I’m a fan of the 11 Lows, and I’d be happy to add this pair to my arsenal.

Is This A First Look At The Air Jordan 11 Low GS Blue Moon Sunset Blue

As you all know by now, a handful of Jordan 11 Low are scheduled to release next year. Form the bunch, there is no doubt in my mind that the return of the Air Jordan 11 Low Columbia will be the most coveted. Although that may be the case, I’m pretty sure many other people will still be interested in the other pairs dropping, take for example the Air Jordan 11 Low GS Blue Moon Sunset Blue you see above. Today we get a look at what the shoe could potentially end up looking like.

Said to be a GS exclusive, this Air Jordan 11 Low for the kids comes in a tonal offering as the two different shades of Blue take care of the mesh upper, lining and patent leather toe/mudguard. Matching laces, a White midsole and a translucent outsole complete the look of the shoe. If these do end up looking like these, would you be okay with it? Said to be dropping next year and priced at $130, stay tuned as more info on this release is soon to follow.

Author’s Take

I’d be find without the shade of Blue used on the lining, but then again, it’d look too much like the Jordan 11 Navy Gum pair that dropped earlier this year, right?
