Check Out Drake Wearing The Air Jordan 14 PE Oregon At His OVO Basketball Tournament

Being a part of Jordan Brand has more than its fair share of perks. One of them is being gifted unreleased pairs of Air Jordans. Drake is part of team Jumpman, and aside from collaborating with Jordan Brand and releasing his very own OVO versions of Jordans, Drake is also gifted highly coveted unreleased retros such as the Air Jordan 14 PE Oregon you see above.

While hosting his OVO Bounce basketball tournament, Drake was spotted courtside wearing the Air Jordan 14 PE. The particular pair of Jordans was given out to Oregon’s football team last season, and although Drake does not play for Oregon, we’re pretty sure sure Jordan Brand was willing to make the exception. Would you like to see these release? Let us know in the comments below.

Less than one week ago, we gave you a first look at the Air Jordan 12 you see above. Said to be a Premium version of the shoe, the 12 comes in tonal fashion as a Deep Royal Blue hue takes care of the entire color of the shoe.

Construction-wise, this Air Jordan 12 Premium Deep Royal Blue appears to be made out of suede and and textured leather on the mudguard. The branding on the heel region comes in White/Grey and provided the only means on contrast on the entire shoe. Said to be releasing in November for the retail price of $200, is this a 12 you consider a must-have? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I like Blue sneakers. I only got one pair of 12s this year (French Blue), but I wouldn?t be opposed to getting this pair if the price is right.

Can You Pull Off The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold (Video)

The Air Jordan Pinnacle Series has been one of the most talked about collection of sneakers in 2016. With its luxurious takes on the classic Jordan models, the Pinnacles have done wonders to the perception of what is possible on the shoes that were once believed to be made just for the basketball court. However, the exorbitant price tags on these kicks have also given sneakerheads pause, wondering if they are worth their elevated cost. So far the $400 retail price for the Pinnacles have not prevented people from buying them (many are hoping to resell for even more) and the trend is not likely to stop soon.

Continuing down this road is the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold that looks like the shoe’s upper was given the Midas Touch. With a shiny gold finish with white accents to give the shoe some pop, this is far from the your typical custom job. Or at least that’s what Jordan Brand is hoping the perception will be when these drop later in the year.

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.

Author’s Take

I?m biased towards the silhouette and even though it looks somewhat boring, the colorway is a classic. I?m not really into it that much yet. It might grow on me as the months pass till its official release though, but, I?ll still probably purchase since it?s a simple and clean offering.

The Croatian national basketball team just got hooked up by Jordan Brand by getting their own colorway(s) of the highly anticipated Air Jordan 31.

These could easily be colors we could see release in the states. White and Red is a common theme with JB and it looks great on the Jordan 31.

Out of both pairs I only like the gold medal-inspired colorway. Both shoes look decent but I think the Olympic theme could have been executed better.

Michael Jordans Concord 11s From The 72-10 Season Are Being Auctioned Off

Twenty years ago, Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to the single greatest season in NBA history. Their 72 wins was the record for most triumphs in a season, until Golden State shattered that mark just a few months ago. What makes the ’96 Bulls a superior team is that they took home a Championship, which matters far more than regular season wins. That season, Jordan rotated the “Concord” and “Bred” colorways of the Air Jordan 11, and SCP Auctions will feature a game-worn, autographed pair on August 3rd. How much will these sell for? Give us your predictions.
