Solid colorway for the ladies. The plum makes it too much of a women’s colorway though so I wouldn’t but it for myself.

One of the most iconic, if not the most iconic, sneaker of all-time is slated to make another call of duty this September as the Air Jordan 1 Banned gets another retro release. The iconic black, red and white sneaker has long been symbolic of the Air Jordan franchise and now with the franchise reaching its 31st iteration, the reboot of the Air Jordan will not only see the dawn of the new era but a reminder of what started us on this path.

The holiday season will be bringing us the return of a couple of classic Air Jordan sneakers such as the True Blue Air Jordan 3 and the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam. But we’ll also be welcoming a few new colorways including this wool covered Air Jordan 3.

This Fall/Winter-inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 3 comes dressed in a full wool upper in a Dark Grey hue. The only contrast comes on the sole unit which has been done in Sail. You can expect the Air Jordan 3 Wool to release on December 17th for a retail price of $200.

This is one of the ugliest colorways of the Air Jordan 3 that I’ve seen in quite some time. Where’s the creativity Jordan Brand??

Joining the Air Jordan 1 Retro KO High OG Pure Platinum that released last month, this upcoming weekend we’ll see another new KO Air Jordan 1 arrive at retailers.

Just like the Pure Platinum colorway, this Air Jordan 1 KO takes inspiration from the recent Jordan Brand x Don C collaborations as the upper is composed of a quilted suede done in Obsidian. Copper eyelets and White accents on the branding have been added to provide some contrast. Fans of the Air Jordan 1 KO can look for this colorway to arrive at retailers on August 27th 2016 for a retail price of $140. Is this a cop or a drop for you?

I’m a fan of the Air Jordan 1 but just not the KO version. These are a pass for me.

The golden Jordan Brand retro releases will continue this upcoming weekend despite the 2016 Summer Olympics officially coming to an end yesterday. Up next to get the golden treatment is the Air Jordan 11.

Since it is still Summer, Jordan Brand decided to go with the Air Jordan 11 Low for this release as the shoe is covered in a White tumbled leather upper that is beautifully contrasted by a Metallic Gold patent leather mudguard that is representative of victory during the Olympic games. Additional gold hits have been added on the branding on the tongue and heel while a Black inner liner adds some more contrast. An icy blue outsole wraps up this retro release that is scheduled to release on August 27th for $170. Kids sizing in 3.5Y – 7Y will also be available and will retail for $130.

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.

Earlier today we gave you news of a release date of the Air Jordan 1 mash-up briefly dubbed the “What The” Air Jordan 1. Jordan Brand confirms that this upcoming release is actually called the Air Jordan 1 “Top 3” and features color detailing from the three most iconic AJ1s of all-time – the “Banned”, the “Chicago”, and the “Royal”. The number 3 is also a nod to Jordan’s third overall selection in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. According to Foot Locker Europe, the Air Jordan 1 “Top Three” is slated for a release on November 28th, 2016.

Next Saturday, September 3rd, Jordan Brand is bringing back one of their most iconic sneakers in the Jordan 1 Banned, but you won’t have to wait that long if you head over to eBay today. 2016’s rendition of the pair that was infamously banned by the NBA for not including enough white throughout the colorway by 1985 standards, comes equipped with a remastered upper complete with tumbled leather on the toecap and the Swoosh branding.

The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” promises to be one of the biggest releases in the Jumpman’s 2016 release slate not only because of the historical implications that come with this pair, but also due to the quality control included in this year’s release. It wasn’t that long ago that Jordan Brand announced their Remastering program that would pay extra attention to detail on molds and factory completion to give you a better retro release. That methodology appears to have paid off with this “Banned” release as the traditional Varsity Red and Black combination benefits from OG Wings branding on the ankle collar, ‘Nike Air’ tongue tags, and more.

Are you excited about the return of the Air Jordan 1 Banned? Be sure to check out more detailed shots below and head over to eBay to secure your size today.

Jordan Brand continues to pay homage to the legacy of the Air Jordan 1 with a number of classic colorways releasing throughout 2016, and even their latest Air Jordan XXX1 model is heavily inspired by Michael Jordan’s first signature silhouette. But perhaps the most interesting Air Jordan 1 related story will be the release of the Air Jordan 1 “What The” on November 28th.

The eclectic “What The” style was first introduced to the world by Nike Basketball with all-over prints and patterns referencing past colorways from the lines of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant. The Jordan 1 What The has received plenty of Photoshopped concepts but we haven’t seen the actual colorway just yet. The “What The” Air Jordan 1 joins the likes of the Air Jordan 6 “Black Cat”, Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”, and Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” for a rather busy upcoming Holiday 2016 season for the Jumpman. Are you excited about the concept? We’ll keep you updated on more release dates right here on Sneaker News and stay tuned for a preview of the Air Jordan 1 What The in the coming weeks.

The Air Jordan 3 will be returning this year. The first colorway on the list is none other than the highly coveted Air Jordan 3 True Blue. Coming in remastered fashion, the True Blue colorway will also be equipped with Nike branding, making it a true OG retro release!

Considered an OG colorway of the Air Jordan 3, the shoe will come dressed in a White premium leather upper offset by the True Blue hits noted on the misole, lining, eyestay and the Nike branding on the heel. A little bit of Red gives the shoe a nice pop as it’s placed on the Jumpman on the tongue, the lower eyelets and the branding on the outsoles. The beloved Elephant print not only seen on the heel and toe, but also on the eyestay, a feature that distinguishes this colorway from other OG versions. As of right now, the shoe is scheduled to release on November 25th for the retail price of $220. Is this a must-cop in your opinion? Make sure to follow our Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue launch page to stay updated with this release.

The True Blue 3s are one of my favorite Air Jordans of all-time. I love Blue on sneakers and I love the 3s. Initially I wasn’t interested in getting a pair since I have the 2011 version, but as we get closer to the release date, I may just have a change of heart! Damn you Jordan Brand!

Talks of a potential Air Jordan 1 What The began surfacing back in March. There were even a couple of photoshop images that showed us what some of us thought the shoe would end up looking like. Ever since then, not much additional info has been provided regarding this potential release. Now we just got word that the shoe has an actual release date! Wait, what?!

As of right now, all we know is that the Air Jordan 1 What The is inspired by some of the most popular colorways ever seen on the Air Jordan 1. These colorways will be strategically placed on the paneling of the shoe. Some hate the idea, while others love it. Regardless, the shoe appears to be releasing! The reason we say it’s releasing is because Foot Locker Europe already has a landing page for the shoe with a release date attached to it. As of today, the shoe is said to be dropping on November 28th, which happens to also by Cyber Monday! Are you hyped about this shoe, or is Nike/Jordan Brand doing too much? Let us know in the comments below and stick with KoF as more info begins to surface.

UPDATE: The @Jumpman23 "OVO" 12 has been postponed indefinitely. The shoe will still release, but could drop as late as Q1 17'. No Set Date!

— PO! (@_PO2345) August 19, 2016

The Air Jordan 12 OVO White was rumored to be releasing on July 30th. Obviously, that didn’t happen. Many of us thought that the date was simply pushed back but it was still well on its way. Now we just got word that the shoe is postponed, indefinitely!

According to reliable source @_PO2345, the shoe may not even be coming out this year. On one of his recent tweets, he did mention that the shoe could end up releasing during the first quarter of next year, so that’s good news, I guess. No word on what the hold up is, but better later then never, right? Or is it never late is better? See what I did there? Ha!

Meh. Nothing really makes me wish this came in a adult sizes. Not a big fan of the color scheme, or construction.
