The post Complete Guide To The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” Release appeared first on Sneaker News.

Although it was officially revealed in July, the newly-introduced Air Jordan 31 Banned edition will finally be available to the public starting this weekend.

Essentially a design inspired by the iconic Air Jordan 1, the model is treated in the classic black and red colorway which first debuted in 1985. Composed of flyweave throughout the majority of its upper, leather accents converge on the rear to solidify its build. Signature Jordan elements such as the wings logo and a subtle Swoosh are evident on the side panels, while a large Jumpman is placed across its heel.

Rounded out with FlightSpeed technology with full-length Zoom Air that enhances court feel, responsiveness and lateral support, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike retailers tomorrow, September 3 for a price tag of $185.

GS sizing (4y – 7y) will be offered as well and retail for $160.

I?m not really crazy about it, but, I really do like refined makeup. The only thing that bothers me is the large Jumpman branding. It should?ve been removed or just sized smaller.

The iconic Air Jordan 1 in its classic Bred/Banned colorway will finally be available to the public once again, starting tomorrow.

Initially introduced back in 1985, the sneaker was renowned for violating the league?s uniform code when worn on the court. Donning the now ubiquitous black and red color scheme across its premium leather construction, this 2016 variation, however, does not incorporate the distinctive ?X? detail on the heel, which was a prominent element on the 2011 edition. Although, the classic ?Nike Air? branding has been implemented on the tongue and insoles for its retro appeal.

With the iconic wings logo also gracing across its ankles, the model is finished off with a clean white midsole unit and red outsole. You can purchase a pair at JB and Nike accounts worldwide starting tomorrow, Saturday, September 3 for $160.

GS sizes (3.5y ? 7y) will be offered as well and retail for $120.

Way back in December of 2015, there were rumors circulating that the Air Jordan 13 Low Chutney would be making its return sometime this year (2016). That turned out to be false reports. We now got word that the shoe will still be releasing, but it will be doing so in 2017.

Said to be returning in the Summer of 2017, the Jordan 13 Low Chutney will release alongside the Air Jordan 13 Low Navy, which will be renamed the Brave Blue. The Chutney 13 Lows made their debut back in 1998 and haven’t released again even since. Are you happy to see these making a return? Let us know in the comments below.

The latest $400 Air Jordan is releasing later on this month. While 2015 was the year of $400 Air Jordan 1s, 2016 is the year of $400 Air Jordan 4s. The next colorway set to drop on September 17th is the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian you see above.

Coming in tonal fashion, the Jordan 4 is mainly constructed out of an Obsidian quilted leather consisting of an array of different stitch work placed all over the shoe. The stitched leather motif is also utilized on the tongue and the paneling where the netting is usually placed. Other luxurious features include the leather lining, leather laces, the copper accents noted on the eyelets and heel, and the embossed branding on the tongue and heel. The shoe is completed by adding the contrasting White sole unit. Priced at $400 and releasing on September 17th, are you getting a pair?

I really like the look of the shoe. I really hate the price tag on it. This is a shoe I like, but I also don’t see myself wearing it a lot. It’s a little too fancy for my taste.

Remember the Jordan Brand Heiress Collection that dropped earlier this year? Well, it looks like Jordan Brand will continue to build on that collection as two more Heiress retros are on the way.

Above you will see the Air Jordan 1 Heiress and Air Jordan 12 Heiress. Both models take the luxurious route that give the shoes much more of a lifestyle look. Hues consisting of Light Bone, Plum Fog and Metallic Gold Star give both offerings that “Heiress” feel. Our first look at the Air Jordan 12 Heiress shows that the shoe comes in a Light Bone tumbled leather upper complimented by the matching mudguard. The tonal look is broken up by the Plum Fog hits noted on the lining and outsole. Hits of Metallic Gold Star are also noted on the eyelets to help give the shoe even more of a luxurious feel. The Air Jordan 12 Heiress will retail for $160, while the Air Jordan 1 Heiress will retail for $110. No official release date yet, but there are rumors saying that the shoes could actually end up releasing on September 10th. Stay tuned as we will be sure to confirm that as soon as it becomes official.

It’s dope to see the women get another exclusive colorway of the 12. The hits of Gold are nice, and the color blocking makes it very easy to wear.

When it comes to some of the best Air Jordan PE colorways, Chris Paul is one of the names that comes to mind due to his long ties with Jordan Brand. But today it’s another Los Angeles Clipper that takes the spotlight.

Fellow teammate and Jordan Brand athlete Blake Griffin was recently spotted wearing a super clean PE colorway of the Air Jordan 11. The shoe features a white mesh upper with maroon accents on the patent leather mudguard, inner liner, the Jordan branding, and the outsole. Griffin was wearing the Oklahoma Sooners PE colorway of the Air Jordan 11 while he was coaching the sixth annual University of Oklahoma Legends Alumni Game.

Super clean. I’m a big fan of maroon/burgundy, and it looks real nice on the Jordan 11. I also like the fact that it’s a mid and not a low.

The Air Jordan 6 is not one of my favorite Air Jordan silhouettes, but I do like it. However this colorway is just too flashy for me. Easy pass on my end.

Just last week we found out that the upcoming “What The” inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 1 will actually be known as the Top 3 colorway.

This Air Jordan 1 is said to take inspiration from the OG Bred, Royal, and Chicago colorways of the Air Jordan 1. Today we get a first look at what are believed to be first images of the shoe. As you can see, the shoe does indeed incorporate features from the Bred, Royal, and Chicagos all mixed together into one shoe. It is still not confirmed whether these are indeed legit, but we should find out soon enough.

What are your thoughts on this colorway? Do you plan on grabbing a pair if they do release? At the moment the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Top 3 is scheduled to release on November 28, 2016 for $160.

So to celebrate we’re taking a look at the black and red Jordan 1’s most memorable moments on and off the court throughout the last 31 years. These are the shoe’s “greatest hits” that have made it into the icon it is today.
