I?m a fan of the silhouette overall and this colorway is a cool option for the young ones. I?m not that interested, but the finish is versatile and appealing.

If the gold used on the tongue didn’t have the glossy/patent leather look I would have definitely copped these. It’s still a nice shoe but I’m not a fan of the metallic looking tongue.

Shane McMahons’ ceremonious return to the WWE back in February was emphasized thanks to a sick rotation of Air Jordan footwear. Now the commissioner of WWE Smackdown Live, Shane-O-Mac has been known to wear Jordans throughout his active years, most notable being the True Blue 3s in his infamous off-the-top-rope elbow slams and his jigs down the ramp and in the ring. In the most recent segment of Sneaker Shopping with Complex, Shane joins Joe La Puma for a bout of sneaker history and shopping in Flight Club, and it’s no surprise that the WWE legend’s knowledge is simply unmatched when it comes to guests on this shoe. Peep the full episode ahead to see what went down.

The post Shane McMahon Obsesses Over Air Jordan 1s, But Isn’t A Fan Of Yeezys appeared first on Sneaker News.

It was only a matter of time before Shane McMahon made the leap of faith in a pair of Air Jordan 1s and landed on an episode of Sneaker Shopping. The son of WWE Vince McMahon and wrestling legend in his own right (Google “Shane McMahon Kurt Angle street fight” if you don’t believe Shane can go) made an appearance on the popular video series on Monday and talked about his love of classic Air Jordans, namely the Air Jordan 1 in all colors and the Air Jordan 3 True Blue (which will be making a return this year). Shane also touches briefly on the Air Jordan XXX PEs that we wore for Wrestlemania 32 against the Undertaker but don’t expect him to reveal who his plug is that made those 1/1s a reality.

As the world of professional wrestling beings to branch out and invade other parts of “the culture” (see: Enzo Amore, The Rock getting signature Under Armour trainers, etc.), Shane is also asked how he feels about Kanye West’s obscenely expensive signature shoes, whether he would rock John Cena’s K-Mart kicks and what sneaker heat his father might have in his closet.

WWE also shares this bonus clip where Shane talks about the timing of when he wears certain pairs of Js. He might not be the craziest know-it-all sneakerhead you know, but Shane-O-Mac is definitely an OG because he lived through the old days and was there on the ground floor, with Wrestlemania and Air Jordans really taking off around the same time frame.

Another look at the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle that is reminiscent of Spike Lee?s Oscars are provided, as the model is suggested to debut this Holiday 2016.

The Air Jordan 12 has been one of Jordan Brand’s retro selections of choice throughout 2016. Not only have such classics as the “Flu Game” and “French Blue” arrived at retailers, but the Jumpman have also managed to recapture people’s interest through a number of new colorways. The latest Jordan 12 release will be a kid’s exclusive perfect for the back to school season, as a candy-coated “Purple Dust” color will be releasing at retail in the near future.

The Air Jordan 12 “Purple Dust” takes a new Blue Cap shade throughout the leather upper while Purple Dust accents land on the outsole, lining, and laces. The unique mudguard inspired by Japan’s rising sun flag is actually rather subdued here thanks to a matching Blue Cap shade. Metallic Silver accents linger on the lace eyelets for a premium touch. No word yet on a release date, but stay tuned for more right here on Sneaker News.

Don’t look now, but the Air Jordan 5 Olympic is less than one week away! We found out about this shoe quite some time ago, so it’s kind of crazy to see the shoe releasing next Saturday.

Inspired by the Gold Medal the best of the best get at the Summer Olympics, the shoe is done in a White leather upper accented by the Black and Metallic Gold hits found throughout the shoe. The Metallic Gold can be seen on the tongue as well as on shark teeth of the midsole. A translucent outsole, clear netting, White laces and Black lining round out the main parts of the shoe. Priced at $190 and releasing next August 20th, be sure to visit our Air Jordan 5 Olympic hub page for additional images and information regarding this release.
