Not only will the Bred 1s be releasing in exactly one month, Jordan Brand decided to throw us a bone and also release the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe. Said to be releasing during the month of November, today we take our first look at the shoe on-feet.

The Black Toe colorway of the Jordan 1 High is also considered a OG colorway of the model. Most of the images we’ve seen of the shoe show that it does in fact look to be remastered. Consisting of a premium leather upper done in White, Black and Red, the shoe is done in a White leather base offset by the hits of Black and Red noted on the overlays, which happen to include the Black toe, of course. Wings branding is placed on the ankle, while the beloved Nike branding is noted on the tongue. Currently priced at $160 and a tentative November release date, how many of you consider this pair a must-cop?

Author’s Take

I never thought Jordan Brand would release this colorway this year. It’s definitely one of the best colorways on the 1s. If I have the chance to get a pair, I’d definitely pull the trigger. It’s a must-cop.

Why did Jordan Brand create a colorway inspired by the Olympic Bronze Medal? Why celebrate anything but gold? We’re not sure, but the shoe looks good, anyway. Actually we’re not even sure if the third place medal is the official inspiration for this new Air Jordan 1 High in crackled black and grey with metallic bronze accents, but when you put bronze on a sneaker this close to the Olympics, that’s obviously going to be the assumption. Either way, if you like the all-new colorway for the Air Jordan 1 you see here, be on the lookout for them at select Jordan Brand retailers soon.

This weekend we’ll see the arrival of the all-new Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate. But wait, is it really a new colorway?

It turns out that Tinker Hatfield designed this ‘Tinker Alternate’ version at the same time that he designed the original Olympic colorway that released in 1992.

?This one was in the works for a while,? says Hatfield of the patriotic basketball version of the Air Jordan VII. ?I did one that was more white based and one that was much more contrasted. My recollection is that MJ thought the contrasted one was really cool. Ultimately, I left it up to him.?

As we all know, Jordan ended up picking the white-based pair and the alternate version was placed in the archives, until now. Check out the Hatfield’s early sketches of the Olympic and Tinker Alternate colorways above and remember that the shoe will release on August 6th for $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate launch page now for detailed images, videos and release info.

If you’ve been following Air Jordan retros for the past several years, you’ll know that one of the most wanted pairs are Ray Allen’s super exclusive Ring Ceremony player exclusives. A white and gold Air Jordan 11 with matching team colors, these exude a style that quite simply no other pair of Js can match. Now what if I told you that you could own a pair of these golden Js minus the Celtic Green or Heat Red and the only catch was that it was a low-cut instead of the traditional mid that we’ve come to know and love. Is that something you might be interested in? Enter the Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony, a metallic gold beauty that even has Olympic ties. Will we see Jimmy Butler and Carmelo Anthony rock them in Rio at some point?

Following the announcement of a new partnership with Nike and Jordan Brand last summer, the new football uniforms for the University of Michigan, courtesy of JB, has officially been unveiled.

On the gridiron, Michigan has claimed more victories than any other school, since fielding its first team in 1871. With 11 national championships, over 120 first-team all-Americans and three Heisman trophy winners, including Jordan Brand athlete, Charles Woodson, the university embodies a reputation of leading both academically and athletically.

With its signature colors consisting of maize and blue, the new jersey is built on the Nike Vapor Untouchable chase, which features a minimal-seam design and stretch woven materials. Focusing on fit, range of motion and breathability, tailored lines are articulated to move with the body, while laser perforations in the front and back panels maximize ventilation.

In addition, the team will be outfitted with a special edition Jordan Trainer 1 low Michigan, which is scheduled to be available starting August 8th at select Nike and JB stockists.

The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate is essentially takes cues from the original Olympic Air Jordan 7 which debuted during the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain, and in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this Friday, August 5th, the silhouette will be offered for the entire family.

Featuring its GS size, the model is simply defined by patriotic palette, consisting of red, white and navy across its entire leather upper and sole unit. Hits of metallic gold adorn the tongue label and jumpman logo for additional vibrance, while also evoking the first-place medals.

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.

Additional images of the forthcoming Air Jordan 6 Black Cat continue to be revealed, as this latest gallery places an emphasis on how it’s perceived when worn.

As its official moniker suggests, the basketball sneaker is comprised of a blacked-out leather upper with perforations throughout to promote sufficient ventilation. Unlike the all-black AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions, however, this pair receives subtle pops of contrast with white gracing the midsole unit, underlays and Jumpman branding. In addition a graphic of its respective theme is seen on the insoles to finish off its notable elements.

Retailing for $190, the model is suggested to make its debut at select Nike and JB retailers on New Year?s Eve, December 31st, 2016.

You can never go wrong with this silhouette, especially in this timeless colorway. I’m just biased.

By now you’re familiar with the new “Olympic Alternate” Air Jordan 7 releasing on August 6th and of course you know the original version of the Dream Team sneaker worn by Michael Jordan, but until now you probably haven’t seen a side-by-side comparison of the two. Now you can decide once and for all you like better: the tried and true original, or the new “alternate” edition. The new version is obviously a bit flashier than the original, with the speckled midsole, mismatched blue and red accents on each shoe, and the stars and stripes added to the #9 patch on each heel, but is it actually better than the colorway MJ made historic? You be the judge, and if the new version is a must-have either way, pick up your pair this Saturday at select Jordan Brand retailers.

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.

So we already know that Space Jam 2 is in the works and LeBron James will be taking over Michael Jordan’s role as the lead character/actor in the highly anticipated sequel.

But what does Michael Jordan think about LeBron being his successor? He was recently asked who he would have liked to see in the main role for Space Jam 2. His answer? Blake Griffin. Does this possibly have something to do with Blake being part of Jordan Brand??? Check out the video below. Who do you think should have replaced MJ in Space Jam 2?

Jimmy Butler and the USA Men’s Basketball Team played in their final exhibition game against Nigeria last night and once again had their dominance in full display. They are now ready to head to Rio where the Olympic will kicks off this weekend.

The only players on Team USA that will be representing for the Jumpman are Jimmy Butler and Carmelo Anthony. We can expect both stars to be wearing a few different colorways of the all-new Air Jordan 31. Recently Jimmy Butler was spotted wearing a new Olympic colorway of the sneaker that we see pictured above. The shoe features a white to blue gradient effect on the Flyweave upper with red accents. We’ll probably be seeing Jimmy and Melo both wear this pair or at least something every similar in Rio as they try to capture gold for Team USA.

Also don’t forget that the Air Jordan 31 USA will be releasing next week.

I’m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, these offerings are pretty solid. The build and inner bootie construction looks great, and the colorways are versatile overall.

I never really liked the silhouette much before, but, I think it?s growing on me since I?ve also grown older, haha. This colorway is appealing and classic. It should get the attention it deserves.

The post The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo Debuts Next Weekend appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Jordan 14 Indiglo is almost here. Jordan Brand surprised plenty of fans when they announced that they’d be bringing back two of the more peculiar colorways from the Air Jordan 14‘s original 1999 run. We’re speaking of the Oxidized Green and Indiglo colorways, of course.

The new-aged colorways each features simple tumbled leather uppers while bold accents showcased their vibrancy on the Ferrari-inspired Jumpman insignia. The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo tread toward the more ominous side of the two retro selections, with an all black upper camouflaging the aggressive midsole’s ‘teeth’ with a matching suede toecap. That lime green ‘Indiglo’ aesthetic touches the heel and Jordan branding throughout to liven things up.

The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo will arrive at retailers on August 13th for $190 USD. Check out a detailed look below and we’ll keep you updated on more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.
