I?m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, this offering is pretty solid. The build and inner bootie construction looks great, and the colorway is versatile overall.

Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate 1 Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate 2 Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate 3 Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate 4 Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate 5 Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate 6

The long wait for the 2016 Summer Olympics is finally over as the opening ceremony takes place today which will be followed by the first day of competition tomorrow.

To kickoff the international celebration Jordan Brand will be launching a new colorway of the Air Jordan 7. Known as the Tinker Alternate colorway, this Air Jordan 7 was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield at the same time he created the original Olympic colorway. Michael Jordan had the option to choose from the two designs and he ultimately went with the Olympic pair. The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate uses the patriotic color scheme of white, red and blue and also ads hits of gold that provide a nice pop.

The entire family will be able to pick up their pair on August 6th for a retail price of $190 for men, $140 for GS, $80 for PS, and $60 for TD.

Add The Air Jordan 1 High Premium Essentials To Your Rotation This Weekend


The Air Jordan 1 has long-since been a staple of anyone’s footwear rotation. The iconic silhouette will go down in history as one of the pairs that birthed the modern day sneaker industry for its head turning “Banned” colorway, Michael Jordan’s on-court exploits, and the fact that it was the first in the signature Jumpman series. It’s transitioned flawlessly into the lifestyle realm as a status symbol of fashion statement. This weekend, Jordan Brand will pay homage to that lineage with the Jordan 1 Premium Essentials Pack due out Saturday, August 6th.

The Air Jordan 1 High “Premium Essentials” takes the model and gives it two simple, understated high-contrast colorways in either White/Black or Black/White. It’s hard to believe that Jordan Brand didn’t release these offerings earlier in the three-decade span of Jordan 1 dominance. Each pair will retail for $160 USD and feature classic ‘Nike Air’ branding on the tongue in red for a standout feature.

The Jordan 1 Premium Essentials is available right now on eBay.

Celebrate Team USAs Quest For Gold With The Jordan 7 Olympic Alternate


Team USA takes on China tomorrow August 6th at 6:00 PM, so what better way to celebrate than with the timely release of the Jordan 7 Olympic Alternate? This Olympic season, Jordan Brand decided to skip over the pair actually worn by Michael Jordan during the 1992 Barcelona Games for an alternate sample created by Tinker Hatfield that never released, until now.

The Air Jordan 7 “Olympic Alternate” features a Deep Royal Blue shade throughout the upper that more closely resembles this year’s Team USA Nike Basketball uniforms than any other kit that preceded it. A white tumbled leather base adds a premium Remastered feel to the offering while Metallic Gold Coin lands on the Jumpman branding throughout in honor of the team’s pursuit of gold. A unique gradient midsole adds speckling throughout in Fire Red while a bold American flag graphic features Mike’s Olympic number 9 on the heel.

Are you a fan of Saturday’s Jordan 7 Olympic Alternate? Check out more photos below and if you can’t wait until then, know that you can find your pair right now on eBay.

An Air Jordan 31 Quickstrike Release Is Hitting Philippines

Jordan Brand is slated to have a huge Olympic showcase thanks to the unveiling of the Air Jordan 31. Not only will multiple Team USA players be championing the pair heavily inspired by the Air Jordan 1, but other competing countries will receive Jordan PEs throughout the Rio Olympics. Now we’re getting word that the Air Jordan 31 Brazil inspired by the Olympics host country will be arriving at international retailers like the Philippines own’ Titan this Saturday, August 6th in limited quantities.

A head-turning gradient consisting of a near-Volt shade on the woven toe eventually fades to a royal blue in honor of the Brazilian flag. Hints of the iconic Nike Swoosh pays homage to the Air Jordan 1 while the silhouette’s overall shape is as lifestyle-friendly as any signature Jordan offering we’ve seen in some time. Most notably the Jordan 31‘s tongue and ankle collar construction should recall the iconic Air Jordan 1 above all else.

What do you think of the Jordan 31 Brazil? Stay tuned for more updates regarding the Olympic-themed colorway’s potential stateside release. If you’re in the Philippines, you have a chance to grab your pair this Saturday, August 6th.

A Preview Of The Air Jordan 3 Wool

Air Jordan 3 Air Jordan 3 1

We previously reported this past March 2016 that an Air Jordan 3 Wool is in the works, and now, a sneak peek at that purported pair has surfaced online.

Suggested to be in this year?s Holiday 2016 lineup that also features the AJ 3 Cyber Monday, the iconic basketball silhouette has essentially been revamped with more lifestyle flair and functionality. Dark grey-colored wool covers the model’s upper, which simply provides more warmth during the colder months ahead.

Finally, a sail white rubber sole unit finishes off the simple two-tone design.

This pair is reportedly arriving at select JB and Nike stockists on December 17th for a retail price of $200.
