The classic Air Jordan 9 will be revived in one of its original colorways this Holiday 2016.

With this particular pair introduced back in 1993, followed by a first retro release in 2002 and then in 2010 — this forthcoming variation essentially stays true to its classic counterpart. A timeless palette of black and white is utilized for its leather upper, while a hint of vibrance such as red adorning the tongue branding, Jumpman logo across the heel and more branding on the rear perfectly complements its respective theme.

Priced at $190, you buy a pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, December 3.

You can?t go wrong with classics. I?m a fan of the model and colorway overall. If you missed out on the previous releases, then look forward to the drop in a couple months.

In celebration of the 31st Olympiad, which recently concluded this past Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low essentially commemorates the global sporting event.

Contrasting hits of black adorn the inner lining and tongue, as it?s all topped off with a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole.

I?m not that really into the silhouette in a low-cut profile aside from the recent varsity red and navy/gum colorways, but, I like this style even more in this finish. I also like how leather is applied on the upper.

The most colorful man in the history of sports sideline reporting just got blessed with some Jordans that are equally as vibrant. These Air Jordan 1s are a tribute to Sager, who is currently battling leukemia in a heroic manner. He has the support of the entire sports and media world, and these Jordans are just the start of all the love he deserves. DJ Khaled revealed these super-limited AJ1s, with an icy outsole revealing “Sager Vision” on the soles of shoes. Peep a better look ahead.

I was a fan of these 11s when I first saw them but then I realized that if I were to buy them I probably wouldn?t wear them that much. I?ll just save my $170 and pick up the Bred 1s next week instead.

Does this colorway of the Air Jordan 17 look familiar to you? If it doesn’t then that’s because it’s a sample colorway that was created back in 2000 that was never released to the public.

This Air Jordan 17 Low features a grey leather and nubuck upper with red accents on the inner bootie and midsole. Grey laces, black branding, a chrome heel counter, and a white outsole complete the look on this Air Jordan 17 that will probably never see a retail release.

What are your thoughts on this colorway of the Air Jordan 17 Low? Would you cop of they ever released to the masses?

I think this pair looks better than the Bulls colorway that released earlier this year. Would I actually buy it though? I’m not too sure I would.

There’s a new colorway of the Air Jordan 5 releasing in grade school sizes, and this is one that I’m sure many guys won’t be too happy about.

This new Air Jordan 5 resembles the Raptors/True Red colorway of the Air Jordan 7 and comes with a Black nubuck upper as well as a black tongue. Purple then lands on the midsole and inner liner, while red accents on the midsole shark teeth and the Jumpman branding finish off the retro Raptors color scheme. The Air Jordan 5 GS Raptors is expected to release on September 17, 2016 for $140. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I’ve been a die-hard Toronto Raptors fan for over 16 years now. These are a MUST for me.

The post Is This Upcoming Colorway Of The Air Jordan 5 Inspired By The Toronto Raptors? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” was as 90s a sneaker release as any. The shoe ditched traditional Chicago Bulls colorways to welcome the latest expansion franchise to the NBA in an unofficial way – but the combination of black, purple, and red throughout was undoubtedly an homage to the Canadian team if there ever was one. We haven’t seen the retro since 2012, but now Jordan Brand is hinting at the iconic colorway with this upcoming girl’s exclusive Air Jordan 5 Raptors slated to release this September.

The Air Jordan 5 Raptors is enough to make those in adult sizes jealous. A black upper matches the tongue while a vibrant purple lining and midsole work perfectly with Bright Crimson accents on the Jumpman branding and Mustang fighter jet inspired speckled shark teeth. A traditional semi-translucent mesh ventilation system hits the side panel and tongue as to not complicate things. What do you think of the Air Jordan 5 Raptors?

Following a lifestyle editorial, even more images of the 2016 True Blue Air Jordan 3 continue to be revealed, as the basketball sneaker is set to drop in about three months time.

Previously offered in 2011, this forthcoming pair is essentially a remastered variation of its OG counterpart.

Jordan Brand’s lifestyle appeal is far and wide, so when the brand announced a new initiative to help push forward women’s and girl’s exclusive colorways a few years back, the move made sense. Since then, we’ve seen plenty of Jordan retros release in pastel pinks and looks with added vibrancy to appeal to the ladies around the world. The Jumpman even created their Jordan Heiress Collection which featured an entire catalog of premium retros with an added touch of lifestyle luxury perfect for everyday wear. Today we get a look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Heiress in a new “Plug Fog” look slated to release September 10th for $110 USD.

The Air Jordan 1 Heiress strays away from traditionalism thanks to a new nylon mesh honeycomb pattern on the delicate Light Bone upper while Plum Fog accents hit the leather panels throughout. Off white branding makes for the perfect refined accent atop this pair for a mature vibe perfect for any occasion. What do you think of the latest Air Jordan 1 Heiress release? Be sure to check out more detailed photos after the break and while you’ll have to wait to pick up this pair on September 10th, you can catch more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

I’ve been waiting a long time to own a pair of golden Air Jordan 11s. Ever since Ray Allen showed us what was possible with his golden 11s for both the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat – not to mention the Defining Moment Air Jordan 11 – I’ve held out hope for a retail release. And now we’re getting it in the form of the Air Jordan 11 Low Metallic Gold (Closing Ceremony). Does it have Olympic ties? Who knows? What really matters is that my sneaker dream shoe (well, one of the many sneaker dream shoes) is finally happening.

There are a few caveats with using the gold, however. Watch the video up top and you’ll know what I mean when I say, “maybe don’t buy this sight unseen online.”

Chris Paul‘s career still has a lot of ‘what ifs’ lingering in the background. What if his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers hadn’t been vetoed by the NBA for the infamous “basketball reasons” ruling? What if CP3 and Blake Griffin weren’t hurt for this year’s playoffs? What if Jordan Brand had released this Clippers-inspired Air Jordan 11 Low? Today we get a look at a rare Jordan 11 Low Chris Paul PE that never was, inspired by his current tenure with LA’s other team.

The Jordan 11 Low has been overhauled countless times in the past handful of years including this weekend’s “Closing Ceremony” release featuring premium metallic gold patent leather in honor of the Olympics. This Air Jordan 11 Low Chris Paul “Clippers” look doesn’t utilize no.3 PE branding or even show off CP3’s personal Jordan Brand logo. Instead, it relies heavily on shades of Varsity Red and Game Royal on the Cordura mesh upper and inner lining. A white patent leather mudguard adds a clean albeit surprising finish while a translucent outsole unit ditches any lingering icy additions.

Following the release of the golden Air Jordan 5 last weekend, Jordan Brand will stay in the gold category this weekend as they’ll be giving us a new white/gold Air Jordan 11 Low.

Known as either the Closing Ceremony or Metallic Gold colorway, the fact of the matter is that this is white and gold Air Jordan 11 and people will go crazy over it. Of course it would have been nice if it were a Mid (that’s the reason I’m passing on it), but we can’t have our cake and eat it too, right? This Air Jordan 11 features a premium White leather upper with Metallic Gold landing on the patent leather mudguard as well as on the branding. Men and kids sizes will be arriving at retailers on August 27th (Saturday) for $170 and $130, respectively. Will you cop or pass? Let us know in the comments below.

New details have emerged on the potential Air Jordan 1 What The that has been rumored to release later this year.

It appears that the shoe will actually be known as the Air Jordan 1 Top Three and will consists of a combination of the OG Bred, Royal, and Chicago colorways. The significance of the “Top 3″ name also comes from Michael Jordan being drafted #3 overall back in the 1984 NBA Draft.

We also recently find out that according to Foot Locker Europe this mash up Air Jordan 1 is  currently scheduled to release on November 28, 2016. There is no US release date yet but it’s possible that it is the same as the European date. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates on the release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Top Three.

I’m not opposed to a What The themed Air Jordan 1 releasing, but I’m definitely curious to see what Jordan Brand comes up with. This could either be a huge success or a big failure.
