Did you know that the Silver Medal and Gold Medal colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High weren’t the only pairs that released? Jordan Brand also released a colorway inspired by the bronze medal that hasn’t been getting as much love.

The bronze medal-inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 1 features a Black leather upper with Infrared 23 accents on the Jumpman on the tongue and a White sole unit. What highlights this pair of course are the hits of Metallic Red Bronze that appear on the Swoosh and Wings branding on the side panels.

If you’re feeling this Air Jordan 1 then you can buy a pair right now directly from nike.com for a retail price of $140.

My second favorite colorway behind the gold medal pair. If that Infrared Jumpman on the tongue were done in bronze these would have been even better.

For those of you patiently waiting for the Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue to drop, we have the latest images of the shoe to help hold you over until November 25th arrives. Definitely one of the most highly anticipated Jordan retros of the year, let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

The Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue is done in a White leather upper offset by the hits of True Blue and Red placed throughout the shoe. Helping this colorway stand out from the rest of the OG colorways of the 3s is the use of elephant print found not only on the toe and heel, but also on the eyestay of the shoe. This remastered version will come with the beloved Nike Air branding on the heel and insoles, while the Jumpman remains true to form on the tongue. Another subtle change people are taking notice of is the Red lining, some people like it, some people don’t, some people don’t think it’s a big deal. Set to drop on November 25th for $220, be sure you visit our Nike Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue (Black Friday 2016) hub page for the latest info and images of this upcoming release.

One of my favorite models/colorways of all time. I have a pair with the Jumpman on the heel, it’s in okay condition. I’m still debating on whether or not it’s worth paying $220 for Nike on the heel. It may go down to the wire.

What you see above is the Air Jordan 1 High Deconstructed. What exactly does that mean, and what is it doing on the Air Jordan 1? In case you haven’t noticed, times are changing, and although the Air Jordan 1 High in its original build is good as is, many of us are more than open to seeing the iconic classic in a different build, at least I am.

This version of the Jordan 1 is classified as deconstructed because the “construction” of the upper has no paneling or layering. In addition, if you take a look at the inside you will find that it also comes with no paneling, sort of like the original Chuck Taylor All-Star. What you end up getting is a minimal-looking, suede-constructed Air Jordan 1. From the pictures provided, it appear as if the Air Jordan 1 sole remains untouched. Two colorways have already been unveiled- off-White and Black. Thoughts on the Nike branded Air Jordan 1? I’m curious to see what you guys think. As of right now, expect these to drop sometime in the Fall/Winter of this year.

I’m on the fence. It looks like it has potential, but I’ll reserved my judgement until I see more pictures of the shoe.

After becoming the Wolverines? official athletic footwear, apparel and equipment provider for both the football and basketball teams, Jordan Brand will be releasing a Jordan Trainer 1 Low specifically for Michigan.

Michigan won’t be the only ones getting their own Jordan Trainer 1 Low though, soccer star Neymar will be following up his Air Jordan 5 Low release with a trainer of his own. Up above we take a look at the Jordan Trainer 1 Low Neymar which features a Black elephant Flyweave upper with Infrared 23 accents on the branding, Flywire, and midsole. Jordan x Neymar co-branding is then visible on the heel as well as on the outsole to acknowledge the collaboration.

You can look for the Jordan Trainer 1 Low at select retailers beginning on August 7, 2016 for $140.

With all of the success that the Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar had it’s cool to see another sneaker release for people that are not huge fans of retros.

The post Release Date: Jordan Trainer 1 Low Neymar appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Jordan Brand’s expansive Neymar Collection surprised many. The collaboration with the world famous footballer showcased that the Jumpman’s move into new territories and sports can pay off with the right partners and smart design. Now the duo is back with the upcoming Jordan Trainer 1 Neymar slated to release on August 7th.

The freshly minted Jordan Trainer 1 is getting all kinds of love to help grow interest around the new-aged cross-training model. The University of Michigan, Jordan Brand’s first football sponsorship, received an exclusive and a new “Banned” pair is on the way come September. The updated Jacquard woven upper adds a flexible ride complete with just the right amount of breathability while added neoprene makes for an easy slip-on fit.

The Jordan Trainer 1 Low Neymar utilizes an ominous Black/Anthracite elephant printed upper while accents of Infrared 23 hit the outsole unit, exposed Dynamic Flywire, and Jumpman branding to match the previous Neymar x Jordan releases. A co-branded Jordan x Neymar tongue and heel leaves no doubts about who the players involved in this premium teaming up are.

What do you think of the Jordan Trainer 1 Neymar? Check out more detailed photos after the break and grab your pair on August 7th while supplies last.

The post Release Info For Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” appeared first on Sneaker News.

While we speculated this past December 2015 that a sneaker collaboration with the animation studio, Laika, would come to fruition, a recent COMPLEX-exclusive interview with iconic Nike designer, Tinker Hatfield, has revealed that the Air Jordan 15 will be revived in a special variation this season that’s inspired by the animated film, Kubo and the Two Strings.

With the studio essentially owned by Nike, and Phil Knight as the co-founder, the movie which is set to debut on Thursday, August 18th, is directed by his son Travis Knight.

The film is centralized on a young boy named Kubo, who must locate a magical suit of armor worn by his late father in order to defeat a vengeful spirit from the past.

Two iterations of the Air Jordan 15 will be offered — one in blue/black and the other in red/black — with each suggested to be extremely limited. On August 8, the Just Keep Livin Foundation will host a live eBay auction with dozens of pairs of the Kubo 15 sneakers up for bidding, as all proceeds will go to the Foundation?s programs that teach the importance of decision-making, health, education, and active living.

Then, on August 10, gamers who sign up to play the new Moon Beast game at the official Kubo and the Two Strings website, can compete to be the top scorers and win a pair of the Kubo 15s as well.

Expect more ways to acquire a pair very soon, but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

When I was younger, I wasn’t really into this pair, but now, I appreciate it a lot more. I like the colorways and these should get the attention it deserves.

Additional imagery of the 2016 True Blue Air Jordan 3 continue to be unveiled, as the iconic basketball sneaker is scheduled to arrive in three months time.

Noted as a remastered variation with Nike Air branding, the sneaker was previously offered in 2011. Staying true to its classic makeup, white tumbled leather dominates the upper, alongside cement grey detailing prominent on the eye stays, toe cap and heel. Pops of blue and red on the inner lining, midsole and tongue pronounces its design, while ?Nike Air? branding graces the insoles and back heel tab to round out its overall makeup.

Retailing for $220, you can expect to find this standout pair at select Nike and JB retailers starting Black Friday, November 25th.

You can’t go wrong with a classic, especially this silhouette. I’m biased and I’m just glad it’s being revived again.

An initial design which Tinker Hatfield had created, this Air Jordan 7 is essentially a slight revised counterpart of the original Olympic Air Jordan 7 which debuted during the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain.

With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this Friday, August 5th, this model also pays tribute to the international sporting event, as it’s simply defined by a patriotic palette that supports Team USA. Red, white and navy is prominent across its entirety, while pops of metallic gold adorn the tongue label and jumpman logo for additional vibrance, which also evoke the first-place medals.

Retailing for $190 ? GS, PS and TD sizes are listed at $140, $80 and $60 respectively. You can purchase a pair for the whole family starting Saturday, August 6th.

Author’s Take

I like the original version better. The colorway is still appealing, but I prefer the all-white upper instead. It should still get a lot of attention none the less.

The post The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate Is Dropping Soon appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Tinker Hatfield, we’re in the same boat with ya: we hate the Air Jordan 15 too. In a candid interview, the legendary designer admits that his least favorite design of the portfolio is the the woven, swooped tongue sneaker that came immediately after Michael Jordan called it a career (at least in a Bulls uniform). To celebrate the upcoming release of LAIKA’s Kubo film, Tinker got the opportunity to rework the shoe, and does so rather forwardly by adding a zipper construction as well as cleaner inner ankle bootie. Also reflecting the movie’s good-vs-evil nature is the alternating color-blocking of the shoes. Release info for the Kubo x Air Jordan 15 hasn’t been revealed yet, but one way to secure a pair if to play the Moon Beast game on the film’s official website here and getting a high score. Peep the full gallery ahead.

Even more lifestyle imagery of the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Black Cat continue to be showcased, as the model is now juxtaposed against a pair of tiger camo pants.

Emphasizing the sneaker’s blacked-out profile perfectly, the leather upper is detailed with slightly enlarged perforations throughout to promote ventilation across its profile. Unlike the all-black AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions, however, this pair is complemented with hits of white gracing the midsole unit, underlays and Jumpman branding.

With the retail price set at $190, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike and JB stockists on New Year?s Eve, December 31st, 2016.

The colorway is pretty versatile and suitable for everyday wear. I?m a fan of the silhouette and this model should get a lot of attention.

Additional imagery of this forthcoming Air Jordan 12 Premium in deep royal blue continue to surface online, as the model is expected to make its debut this Fall 2016.

As suggested, the basketball sneaker is draped in the defining blue tone, which essentially covers its premium composition that is comprised of smooth suede and textured leather overlays that are prominent on the forefoot. The model is further detailed with tonal laces, eyelets and Jumpman-branded panels on the side, as it all rests atop a matching full-length rubber sole unit.

Retailing for a price tag of $200, you can expect to find this variation of the silhouette at select Nike and JB retailers starting November 12th.

I’m all tonal finishes and I’m a fan of the sneaker in general. The build is solid as well and this should get some attention. I’m not that inclined on purchasing though.

Earlier today we learned about the story behind the design of the upcoming Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate. It turns out that Tinker Hatfield designed this colorway at the same time he created the Olympic colorway but MJ decided that he liked the Olympic pair better. As a result this pair was put into the vault and Nike/Jordan Brand have decided to bring it out now.

The timing couldn’t be any better as the Summer Olympics will be kicking off this weekend and these are the perfect kicks to rock while cheering for Team USA. This Air Jordan 7 take a patriotic approach and uses a white, blue, and red color scheme while adding gold hits as a nod to the Olympic games. You’ll be able to purchase your pair in full family sizing beginning on August 6th.

This is a great twist on the classic Olympic colorway, but personally I wouldn?t buy a pair. I?m not too big on Olympic/patriotic sneakers.
