Detailed Look At The Air Jordan 1 Retro High Ultra

The Air Jordan 1 is making an unexpected comeback in the latter half of 2016 as the “Bred” and “Black-toe” are both confirmed for a release (with rumors of the Royal pair swirling around as well). There’s more to be seen from the Air Jordan 1, like this updated “Ultra” build that removes any leather-like materials and replaces them with lighter, more breathable options as the Ultra designation suggests. What makes these updated AJ1 stand out the most is, of course, the inner ankle bootie and should give these a feel similar to the Mercurial Superfly or the Footscape Magista. Your thoughts on the Air Jordan 1 getting this unique transformation? Stay tuned for a release soon and catch a detailed look right ahead.

More New Images Of The Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue

AIR JORDAN 3 1 AIR JORDAN 3 2 AIR JORDAN 3 3 AIR JORDAN 3 4 AIR JORDAN 3 5 AIR JORDAN 3 6 AIR JORDAN 3 7 AIR JORDAN 3 8

We’re now less than four months away from the release of the Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue. Jordan Brand has decided to bring the Air Jordan 3 out of the vault by re-releasing the OG True Blue colorway with the classic Nike Air branding on the heel.

This Jordan Brand release coincides with their recent trend of bringing back classic Nike Air branded models such as the Metallic Sivler 5s that released a couple of weeks ago. You may already be familiar with this colorway of the Air Jordan 3, but you can bet that many people will be going after a pair because it has been quite some time since we’ve seen it drop with Nike Air on the heel.

Take a look at the latest early images and let us know if you plan on buying a pair when it releases on Black Friday, November 25th. Retail price is expected to be $220. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue (Black Friday 2016) launch page now for more images, info and release details.

Author’s Take

I would have pulled the trigger on these if they were the White Cement or Black Cement colorways, but I just don?t feel the need to spend $220 on the True Blue colorway.

The opening ceremony for the 2016 Summer Olympics will take place this upcoming Friday, August 5th with the first competitions officially taking place on Saturday. Jordan Brand will be celebrating in a big way by releasing an upgraded version of the Air Jordan 7 Olympic.

Known as the Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate or Olympic Alternate, this Air Jordan 7 features a patriotic color scheme of red, white, and blue. White and blue dominate the upper of the shoe while red has been added on the midsole, tongue, heel, and inner sock. Gold detailing on the branding completes the Olympic theme on this Jordan retro that will arrive at select retailers on August 6th for a price of $190.

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.

This Year Will Bring Us The Return Of The Air Jordan 1 Black Toe

AIR JORDAN 1 1 AIR JORDAN 1 2 AIR JORDAN 1 3 AIR JORDAN 1 4 AIR JORDAN 1 5 AIR JORDAN 1 6

It hasn’t been confirmed by Jordan Brand just yet, but it’s pretty much official that the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe will be returning in 2016.

Last released in 2013, this OG colorway of the Air Jordan 1 will now be added to Jordan Brand’s remastered movement and will (hopefully) feature better quality materials than the 2013 release. This Air Jordan 1 utilizes the familiar Chicago Bulls color scheme by placing black on the ankle, eyestay, Swoosh, and toe. White is then seen on the toebox, tongue, side panels, and midsole. Lastly we see red on the heel/ankle, and the outsole. Nike Air branding has been added on the tongue for the OG look.

There is no exact release date yet for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe (2016) but it is expected to release some time in November of this year. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Another pair of Air Jordan 1s that I NEED. I?ve never owned a pair of Black Toes but hopefully this is the year that changes.

SoleFly Creates The First Jordan Eclipse With Woven Uppers

SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 1 SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 2 SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 3 SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 4 SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 5 SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 6 SOLEFLY X JORDAN ECLIPSE 7

Sneaker boutique SoleFly out of Miami released a collaboration with Jordan Brand back in 2014 that featured the Air Jordan 3.

Both parties join forces once again in 2016 to release yet another collaboration. This time it isn’t a retro though, rather SoleFly has decided to give some love to one of Jordan Brand’s latest lifestyle silhouettes, the Jordan Eclipse. The SoleFly x Jordan SP Capsule consists of apparel and two tonal colorways of the Jordan Eclipse each constructed of woven uppers, a first for the silhouette. The color options include tan/brown and pink. It’s being said that each colorway will be limited to only 250 pairs each. Other details include 3M detailing, custom packaging and co-branded insoles.

The SoleFly x Jordan ?SP? Capsule will release on August 13th at a pop-up location in Wynwood, with a wider release online coming at a later date.

Author’s Take

The woven look on the Jordan Eclipse gives it an entirely look and it’s pretty dope. I like the tan pair, it reminds me of the Air Jordan Future.

Drake Shows Up At His #OVOBounce Basketball Event In Oregon Jordans


Drake showed out at his #OVOBounce basketball tournament, rocking the Jordan 14 Oregon while sitting courtside. Pro ballers like Stanley Johnson, Brandon Jennings, and Toronto’s own Corey Joseph were all in attendance for one of the premier summer basketball events north of the border, but Drizzy stole the show with his footwear selection.

You may remember that two different renditions of the Air Jordan 14 “Oregon” exclusive were given out to select individuals on the Ducks track and field team. One is the pair pictured here, featuring a grey suede embossed with an all-over print of Ducks logos. The other Jordan 14 Oregon featured a casual olive green upper that more closely resembled past UO player exclusives.

What do you think of Drake’s Jordan 14 Oregon selection? Check out the full event recap here.

Air Jordan 1 Black Toe Returning In 2016

The Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe” is returning to retailers this Holiday 2016 season. Jordan Brand has focused on releasing a plethora of original Air Jordan 1 colorways highlighted by the return of the “Banned” rendition in honor of the Air Jordan 31’s debut this September. While the Jordan XXX1 is heavily inspired by Mike’s first signature silhouette, there’s still nothing like a classic.

We haven’t seen the Jordan 1 Black Toe release since May of 2013 well before the Remastering process was underway. New images from Marqueesole showcase a smooth white leather upper paired with black panels and a Gym Red shade that looks a little bit darker on the color spectrum than the one found in 2013’s release. ‘Nike Air’ tongue callouts and the iconic ‘Wings’ logo round out the perfect pair with matching black branding.

Are you excited about the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe’s imminent return? This original Jordan 1 colorway is slated for a November release. Stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

You can’t go wrong with this silhouette. The colorway is solid and I’m biased towards the gold accents.

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.

I don’t even think the silhouette is that bad-looking. It looks appealing in this colorway as well. Those who attend/support university should be excited about this release.

Jordans With Michigan Wolverine Logos Are Releasing


Get ready for college football season with the Jordan Trainer 1 Low Michigan. Tinker Hatfield introduced the iconic Nike Air Trainer 1 one nearly three decades ago, but now Jordan Brand is unveiling their own debut training model, the Jordan Trainer 1. It’s a move that makes enough sense given the Jumpman’s recent growth into off-the-court categories, especially with their sponsorship of the University of Michigan’s football team this coming season.

Today we get a look at an exclusive Jordan Trainer 1 Michigan slated to release at retailers this August. The pair even features Michigan’s bold ‘M’ logo on the tongue and outsole. There’s no doubt that this maize and blue training model is of direct Wolverines descent. The low top rendition utilizes a woven elephant printed upper consisting of a navy base and yellow lines for a unique twist to the iconic Air Jordan 3 pattern. An inner sock adds a comfortable fit while an icy outsole consisting of Zoom technology on the heel gives extra cushion.

What do you think of the Jordan Trainer 1 Michigan? Check out more detailed photos below and be on the lookout for this Jordan training model to arrive at retailers later this month.
