If you’ve been waiting for the return of this OG colorway on the Air Jordan 5, the wait is almost over as it’ll be available at retailers starting this weekend.

Dominated by a stealthy black hue across its nubuck upper and midsole unit, the versatile pair is subtly pronounced with grey adorning the signature netting and reflective tongue, alongside shimmering silver accents prominent on the shark teeth-inspired component on the midsole. A standout detail consists of the classic ?Nike Air? logo which is implemented on the heel that replaces the typical Jumpman logo. In addition, bright hits of fire red grace the lace locks and tongue to complement its understated look.

All adhered atop an icy blue translucent outsole with the visible air bubble unit in the heel, you can buy a pair at select JB and Nike stockists starting tomorrow, Saturday, July 23 for a retail price tag of $220.

Full family sizes — GS (3.5Y ? 7Y), PS (11c ? 3Y) and TD (2c ? 10c) are listed at $160, $80 and $60 respectively.

I?m not that really into the silhouette in a low-cut profile aside from the recent varsity red and navy/gum colorways, but, I like this style even more in this finish. I also like how leather is applied on the upper.

Another decent all-black sneaker that you can rock on the daily this Summer (or Fall or Winter). If the branding was done in red r silver it would have given the shoe a nice pop.

Meanwhile, over at Jordan Brand…

Las Vegas has been the place to be if you’re basketball junkie looking for to satisfy your hoops diet during the summer months. With Summer League, Team USA Basketball and a whole lot more NBA-related stuff going down this week, it’s the perfect the time for the brands to show off their wares and that includes the all-new Air Jordan 31 (or Air Jordan XXX1 if you want to follow their numbering conventions).

Revealed last night during a special event at the same time the adidas Basketball LVL3 showcase was going down, the concepts behind the Air Jordan 31 and why it bears so much similarities to the iconic Air Jordan 1 was also touched upon. Touted as reboot of the Air Jordan franchise, you can see the literal transition of the shoe and what worked in the 80s with the leather upper and slowly move into the present day and the Flyweave performance woven upper.

But what was also surprising was attendees of the event were also treated to a pair of the Air Jordan 1 Banned that will be set to release later this year. Check out both kicks above that we broadcast poolside from Encore on Facebook Live.

Just like the upcoming Air Jordan 31, the Trainer 1 features bold “BANNED” text underneath the translucent red outsole of the shoe, while the upper gets the added bonus of an elephant print jacquard textile.

Alongside the inaugural Banned colorway, the newly-introduced Air Jordan 31 will be offered in two other variations this season as a tribute to the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Particularly paying homage to the host nation, Brazil, the basketball silhouette is treated in the country’s traditional Rio colors with vibrant green and blue predominant across the flyweave and synthetic leather upper. Offset with a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole, a USA-themed iteration of the model is also introduced, as it’ll be worn by both Carmelo Anthony and Jimmy Butler throughout the Olympics (Aug. 5 – 21).

I’m not really against the shoe’s design. I’m a fan of the simple makeup but the large Jumpman bothers me a little bit. This is a nice commemorative colorway though.

Alongside the introduction of the new Air Jordan 31, JB also revealed the return of the classic Air Jordan 1 Banned colorway, which first debuted in 1985.

Renowned for violating the league’s uniform code with a $5,000 fine when worn on the court, the iconic basketball sneaker is essentially doused in the favorable black and red color scheme. Premium leather comprises its overall composition with the distinguishable and classic ?Nike Air? branding implemented on the tongue. While this pair mimics the 1985 counterpart, it does not incorporate the distinctive ?X? detailing on the heel which was seen on the 2011 iteration.

Rounded out with a crisp white midsole unit, red outsole and the iconic wings logo across its ankles, you can purchase the standout pair at select JB and Nike accounts on September 3 for $160.

The post The 2016 Air Jordan 1 High Bred/Banned Is Officially Unveiled appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The new Air Jordan 31 was unveiled yesterday, as it represents a balance of JB’s tradition of game-changing performance and transcendent style that exude an off-court sensibility.

Inspired by the iconic banned Air Jordan 1, a black and red colorway that debuted in 1985 which violated the league?s uniform policy, earning a stern letter from league officials and generating a $5,000 fine each time the shoes were worn on court — the shoe essentially represented that spirit that MJ brought to the basketball court by being so different.

In terms of its design, the new AJ 31 mimics the 1’s profile, although sporting a first-of-its-kind flyweave and leather upper. Iconic Jordan elements such as the original Wings logo and a subtle Swoosh which has not been seen on a Jordan shoe since the AJ 1, has been implemented alongside a Jumpman logo.

Additionally, the silhouette incorporates FlightSpeed technology with full-length Zoom Air that enhances court feel, responsiveness and lateral support, as it follows on a tradition of low-profile cushioning that provides a closer feeling to the flor.

Priced at $185, you can purchase the Air Jordan 31 Banned at select JB and Nike retailers starting on September 3.

I’m not really crazy about it, but, I do like refined look. The only thing that bothers me is the large Jumpman branding. It should’ve been removed or just sized smaller.
