It?ll be interesting to see how this model does. This variation looks really solid. I always wondered if the brand would explore new materials and apply it on classics just to see how it would be received.

I?m all tonal finishes and I?m a fan of the sneaker in general. The build is solid as well and this should get some attention. I?m not that inclined on purchasing though.

Who caught the Michigan football game yesterday? If you did, you might have caught a glimpse of Michael Jordan. Being that this is Michigan’s first season as an official Jordan Brand outfitted football program, it was only right that they called up Michael Jordan to be their honorary captain.

So what did he wear? He decided to keep things simple and rock a retro that dropped as a GR earlier this year. Rocking the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Gum, Micheal Jordan looked liked he fit right in as one of the boys rocking his Michigan colors. He accompanied the Jordan 11 Lows with a matching long sleeve Jordan t-shirt and the usual denim he’s now known for. Check out his outfit above and let us know what you rate his outfit from 1-10?

Remember the Air Jordan 5 Olympic (Gold Medal) that dropped last month? You may not be able to recognize now, but it’s actually the base shoe on the custom you see above. Astrotorf Customs works his magic on this Air Jordan 5 and coverts it into a dope custom he likes to call the Air Jordan 5 Wings.

Grabbing inspiration from the limited Air Jordan 12 release that dropped earlier this year, Astrotorf utilizes the same Black and Gold Wings pattern and implements it on to the Jordan 5. If you take a close look at the Wings pattern you will find that it’s intricately detailed look that required a lot of stencil work (courtesy of D-Nice Customs) to make it look as dope as it is. Complimenting the Black and Gold look is the Metallic Gold tongue that already comes with the Jordan 5 Olympic. Thoughts on the Jordan 5 Wings custom? To see what else Astrotorf Customs has to offer, be sure to check out his IG here. By the way, these are a size 10.5 and are currently for sale. Don’t sleep!

Check out the Air Jordan 31 Fine Print. Any guesses as to what the inspiration behind this Fine Print colorway is? Jordan takes it way back for this latest inspiration the Jordan 31. How back do they take it, you say? All the way back to the exact moment when the young rookie (Michael Jordan) signed his contract with Nike.

Coming in a Black and White upper, the colors on the shoe are meant to represent the colors seen on the document/contract: White paper, Black ink. Aside from the two-toned look on the shoe, there are also minimal hits of Wolf Grey strategically placed all around the shoe. A cool feature on the shoe lies on the outsole, as Michael Jordan’s John Hancock can be seen in Black to complete the theme of the shoe. Said to be dropping on September 17th for $185, what are your thoughts on the inspiration behind this Jordan 31.

It’s a classic Black and White version of the sneaker. The fact that it also has a story behind the colorway makes it even cooler in my opinion. The Jordan signature on the outsole is pretty cool too.

If this pair doesn’t release to the public, then a blacked-out edition should be in the lineup soon. It looks good so far.

I?m a really big fan of the Air Jordan 4 but my first opinion is that I don?t like this colorway. Maybe when I see more images I may change my mind, but right now I?m not a fan.

A few weeks ago we heard rumblings that the highly sought after Air Jordan 1 Royal could be returning some time in 2017. On the eve of the release of the Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred, it is now being confirmed by The Shoe Game that the Royals will indeed be returning next year.

The Royal 1s will be joining the Chicagos, Breds, and possibly the Black Toes, as OG Air Jordan 1s that will be getting the remastered treatment. The Royal 1s are expected to release some time during the Summer of 2017 and will do so with a new premium look and of course the beloved Nike Air branding on the tongue.

How excited are you about this news? Many people have been waiting for the Royal 1s to return being that the last time they released they were so limited. And considering how crazy resell prices have gotten these days, it’s nice to have a chance to buy them at retail. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I’ve never owned a pair of Royal 1s and it would be nice to be able to have a pair. Hopefully they’re not that limited this time around and I’m able to grab a pair.

Russell Westbrook is currently in China with Jordan Brand for the Flight Tour, spreading hoops love across the world. And there’s something special you’ll want to take note of: the new Air Jordan 31 PE on his feet. The never before seen colorway features a stealthy blacked out upper with metallic green detailing at the heel and his “RW” stamped on each tongue. Since this isn’t a colorway matching his team uniform in Oklahoma City, we assume this may be a colorway made just for the Flight Tour. Would you like to see these hit retail? Get a closeup look here, and you can also spot Russell wearing the PE XXX1’s on the @Jumpman23 Snapchat and Instagram Stories.

The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air model made its debut over a year ago. Jordan Brand released this version of the Jordan 1 as a way to celebrate the Jordan 1’s 30 year anniversary. Although we’re now on anniversary 31, it looks like the celebration will continue with brand new colorways such as the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Alternate Royal you see above.

First look at the shoe and it appears as if the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Alternate Royal could be the child of the Air Jordan 1 Royal and Air Jordan 1 Fragment if shoes could ever have babies. Of course that could never happen since shoes don’t have babies, but you know what I mean! Constructed out of a leather upper, Royal Blue takes care of most of the shoe, while White is seen on the side panels and Black takes care of the collar, tongue, laces, toe and Nike Swoosh. A White midsole and Royal Blue outsole can be seen below. “AIR JORDAN” branding is placed on the side of the ankle, tonal Nike Air branding is on the heel, while a Royal Jumpman is noted on the tongue. Thoughts on the shoe? Keep it locked to find out when you can get a pair.

Not bad. I do see a little bit of Royal-inspiration behind it. This is a pair I would get if I were not able to get the Royals that drop next year.
