Another variation of the lifestyle-inclined Air Jordan 1 KO is offered this summer, which follows up on the recent sail white/red pair.

Defined by its canvas constriction, the model receives more flair with quilted detailing prominent on the toe box and side panels. Dressed in a tonal pure platinum finish, the model is further detailed with Nike Air-branded tongues and the iconic wings logo across its ankles.

Finished off with a crisp white rubber sole unit, you can purchase the model at select Nike and JB retailers starting July 30th for a price tag of $140.

I’ll always be a fan of the silhouette. I like the tonal look, but, I’m not really into the overall build. It’s a versatile pair though.

In celebration of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a special edition Air Jordan 5 will be offered to commemorate the international sporting event.

Evoking the spirit of champions and essentially the first-place medals given in the award ceremonies, the basketball sneaker’s defining element is evident with metallic gold gracing the tongue, lace lock and the shark tooth-inspired component across its midsole unit. Dressed predominantly in white leather, the sneaker’s remainder is finished off with tonal black on the midsole unit and inner lining, alongside an icy translucent outsole.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike and JB retailers on August 13th for a price tag of $190.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general. I really like the execution on this pair. I?m biased towards the clean upper and how the gold accents are subtle.

The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate looks to commemorate the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, as the model is essentially inspired by the original Olympic 7s that first debuted in Barcelona, Spain during the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Flaunting a patriotic palette, pristine white comprises the majority of its leather upper, while navy-colored nubuck is implemented on the underlays, in addition to more applied across its ankle portion and outsole. Capping off the USA-inspired theme are bright pops of red gracing the midsole unit, the heel and inner lining.

Finished off with metallic gold accents on the tongue label and jumpman logo, look for this pair at select JB and Nike stockists as early as August 6th, with more to arrive on August 16th for a price tag of $190.

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.

Jordan Brand advocate and Los Angeles Clippers’ star guard, Chris Paul, recently attended the AAU team?s Championship Game wearing another exclusive Air Jordan 11.

Consisting as a player’s exclusive, the model essentially coordinates with the Clippers’ signature colorways. Textured leather and the distinctive patent leather overlay across its mudguard are focused in red, while the respective theme is topped off with blue accents on the logo and number on the heel.

Unfortunately, this model may never see a public release, although, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

In honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics, Jordan Brand will be releasing a special colorway of the Air Jordan 11 Low.

Inspired by the closing ceremony that is scheduled for Sunday, August 21st in the Maracanã Stadium, the low-top is defined by a shimmering gold hue that correlates to the first-place medals given out during the award ceremonies.

Finished off with a white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole, the model is suggested to debut at select Nike and JB retailers on August 27th for a price tag of $170.

Andres Carrillo, News: I just picked up my first pair of 11 Lows with the Navy Gum pair. I’m thinking I may have to cop 2 pairs in the same year. The fact that these are leather on the upper is dope.

As you probably know already, Jordan Brand has decided that they’ll be bringing the Air Jordan 3 out of the vault in 2016 as we’re expected to see at least two different colorways release. One will be the all-black Cyber Monday pair and the other will be the return of the OG True Blue colorway.

Today we get our first look at what is believed to be the 2016 version of the OG 88 True Blue colorway. This Air Jordan 3 features a White leather upper with True Blue and Fire Red accents on the inner liner, eyelets, midsole, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue and the Nike Air branding on the heel. The signature elephant print in Cement Grey can also be seen on the heel, toe, and eyestay.

What are your thoughts on this first look at this year’s big Black Friday release? Remember that the Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue will release on November 25, 2016 for $220. Make sure to click and bookmark our Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue launch page to stay updated with this release.

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.

Very clean colorway of the Air Jordan 5 but I just don’t feel the need to spend $220 on it. These will be a pass for me.

There’s a new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 KO High releasing and it’s coming at us real quick.

Set to drop next week, this new Air Jordan 1 features a tonal upper done in Pure platinum. As is usually the case with the KO version of the Air Jordan 1, this pair comes constructed of a canvas upper with a new quilted pattern that can be seen on the side panels, heel, ankle, and toebox. The Nike branding on the tongue and the Wings logo have been done in Metallic Silver while a White sole unit caps things off.

Author’s Take

The quilted upper on this Air Jordan 1 KO is something different, but I’m still not a fan of the canvas constructed design. I expect these to sit on shelves for quite some time.

There’s more than just a bunch of cool stuff to look at if you head over to the Air Jordan 31 “Defy Gravity” event space at Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas. If you stop by today, you have a chance to pick up two upcoming “Olympic” colorways of Air Jordan models: the Air Jordan 31 “USA” (that doesn’t even have an official release date yet) and the Air Jordan 7 “Olympic Alternate” (officially releasing August 6th), which are each being released in limited supplies early. The Jordan Brand takeover of the Brooklyn Bowl in Vegas is open until 10PM tonight, but if you’re in the area and want a chance at either sneaker, we suggest you head over ASAP.

The ideal time to wear low top sneakers is the Summer which is why it should be no surprise to see Jordan Brand release new colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Low. Even though most people tend to bash on the lows and show all the love the highs, there’s still lots of sneakerheads out there that love them a nice pair of Jordan 1 Lows.

One of the latest colorways that is beginning to hit retailers is this Black, Gym Red and Wolf Grey pair that we see above. The majority of the shoe is done in Black nubuck while Wolf Grey leather lands on the toebox, Swoosh branding, and the outsole. Gym Red appears on the Jumpman branding on the tongue while a White midsole adds a bit more contrast.

Cop your pair now from select Jumpman retailers for $100.

Author’s Take

Not a bad looking Air Jordan 1 Low. I think the Jumpman on the tongue should have also been done in grey to keep things two toned.

Just yesterday we received our first glimpse of the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat that is currently scheduled to close out 2016 and release on New Year’s Eve. A day later we get our first full look at the shoe courtesy of the image above.

The Air Jordan 6 Black Cat features an all-black leather upper with 3M detailing on the laces and side panels. The shoe also features perforations on the ankle, side panels, and the toebox. A white midsole and translucent black outsole are the finishing touches on this Air Jordan 6 that is expected to release on December 31, 2016 for $190. Will you be looking to cop or are these a pass for you?

Based off of these pictures I have to say that I’m disappointed. I expected more. The perforations on the toe are not a good look on this shoe. As of now I can say that I’ll be easily passing on this release.

The wait is finally over. Tomorrow, July 23rd, Jordan Brand is bringing back the iconic Air Jordan 5 Black Metallic with enough original details through the remastering process to be nearly identical to Tinker Hatfield’s creation from 1990. An updated Durabuck upper contrasts a smoother reflective 3M tongue while Fire Red accents work wonderfully with a pre-aged yellow visible air unit. Of course, the main attraction here is the original white ‘Nike Air’ stitching found on the heel which continues the Jumpman’s return to the Swoosh branding that’s been a major asset since late last year. With that remastering process comes an increase of price – retail before tax will be $220 USD. Is it worth it? Check out more detailed photos below and if you don’t want to wait in line for this Air Jordan 5 retro offering, know that you can find select sizes right now on eBay.

The Air Jordan 1 KO receives an all-new construction this fall for one of the first variations from its standard all canvas construction ever released. Some canvas remains, but the silhouette gets modified with quilted textile paneling for a stylish new look. Accentuating the unique new construction is the clean Pure Platinum grey presented tonally across the upper with a contrasting white sole unit, giving the model quite a refined new feel. This classy KO will hit select Jordan Brand retailers beginning July 30th.

In addition to the forthcoming nylon/neoprene iteration, the Air Jordan 12 will also be introduced in a revamped wool composition to suit the Fall season.

Exuding premium flair and stylish sensibilities, the defining and functional component is evident across the majority of its upper and tongue, while tonal textured leather is utilized for its forefoot. Subtle white accents are seen on the tongue with respective branding, as it’s all solidified by a matching black rubber outsole.

Suggested to debut at select Nike and JB accounts on October 1st, the retail price is set for $200 with a GS variation listed for $150.

Stay tuned for more updates.

I’m biased towards the silhouette and I really like this revamped makeup. It has more lifestyle appeal, plus offering more warmth in the colder months. You can’t go wrong with the colorway.
