The Air Jordan 12 Gym Red Will Debut Soon
By SoleInsider
Following the arrival of the AJ 12 Grey/University Blue this past weekend, the Air Jordan 12 is set to be offered in a much brighter finish later this week.
Defined by a gym red hue across its premium tumbled leather upper, tongue and laces, the vibrant tone is offset with pristine white gracing the remainder of its build, particularly, the rubber sole unit and forefoot. Additionally, touches of black adorn the outsole, inner lining and pull tabs to round out the design.
Retailing for a price tag of $190, you can buy a pair at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, July 2nd.

The Air Jordan 12 GS Hyper Jade Arrives This Weekend
By SoleInsider
Following the release of the Hyper Violet colorway, the next gradeschool rendition of the Air Jordan 12 will be offered in a vibrant Hyper Jade finish.
Flaunting a bold, yet simple two-tone makeup, the majority of its nubuck upper is rendered in black, while the remainder — in particular, the inner lining, pull tabs, rear section, leather forefoot and outsole — are colored in the defining hue to cap off the colorway.
In addition, accents of grey on the miniature side panels and metallic silver eyelets round out the design.
Retailing for $140, you can purchase a pair at select Nike and JB stockists on Saturday, July 2nd.
With the Air Jordan 12 already having an impressive year, Jordan Brand has so much more planned for the rest of 2016. One of those colorways that will be releasing later this year and making its debut is the Gym Red colorway. Covered in Gym Red on the majority of the leather upper, White detailing then lands on the mudguard, outsole, and the branding on the tongue. Black hits on the inner liner and heel wrap up the look on this new pair of 12s.
Look for the Air Jordan 12 Gym Red to release on July 2nd for $190. Stay tuned to this launch page for more updates on this release.
Jordan Brand just couldn’t wait to release this special edition galactic inspired Air Jordan XXX this summer. In honor of the annual Parisian streetball tournament Quai 54, the Air Jordan 30 transforms into one of its loudest incarnations yet thanks to a galaxy print throughout the woven upper, an iridescent toecap and heel, and a gradient outsole for a truly one of a kind colorway. Known as the Air Jordan XXX Cosmos, the pair takes the ongoing theme of interplanetary flight and was slated to release on July 9th until Jordan Brand surprised everyone with a weekend release at their Chicago 32 South State location before dropping internationally. Continue onward for a detailed look at the latest special edition Jumpman release and be sure to stay updated on more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.
A Glimpse Of The Metallic Gold Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle
By SoleInsider
It was previously reported that an Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle will be making its debut sometime this Holiday 2016, and now, an initial look at the forthcoming silhouette is provided.
As suggested, the classic basketball sneaker boasts a shimmering gold leather makeup with contrasting accents of white. It’ll essentially be similar to Spike Lee’s exclusive AJ 6 Oscars.
More images have yet to be revealed, but stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates as soon as they arise.
I’m biased towards the silhouette and finish, and so far, I like it. I wonder how similar it’ll really look, so I’ll leave my overall judgment once more images are presented.
Fat Joe Wore An Exclusive Trophy Air Jordan 8 PE To The BET Awards
By SoleInsider
While the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack made its debut this past weekend, rapper, Fat Joe, revealed a special variation of the Trophy (Champagne) AJ 8 PE last night at the BET Awards in Los Angeles.
Showcased in his official Instagram, this rendition of the basketball silhouette is essentially detailed with a ?TS? patch on the tongue, which references to the hip-hop collective “Terror Squad,” as well as custom lace locks of Joe?s face.

If you’re still undecided about this release, these official images will probably make you hop on the hype train.

A full White rubber outsole and Metallic Red upper eyelets complete the look of the shoe. Releasing on July 2nd for $190, is this a must-cop or will you pass?

Will The Air Jordan 5 Bronze Be Welcomed With Open Arms
By SoleInsider
When it comes to the Air Jordan 5 model, all the attention is currently on the upcoming Air Jordan 5 Metallic Silver that’s set to release next month. Once that release is over and done with, people will then be placing their focus on the Air Jordan 5 Bronze. Still a few months away from releasing, let’s get our latest look at the shoe.
Considered yet another Jordan 5 with an Olympic theme, the shoe is dressed in a Obsidian, White, Metallic Red Bronze, and Bright Grape color scheme. The Obsidian leather base sits on top of the White and Bronze sole unit. Additional Bronze hits are spotted on the patent leather tongue, while a icy translucent outsole give the shoe a crisp look. An Obsidian Jumpman is spotted on the heel, tongue and outsole. Priced at $190, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike retailers on September 24th. Be sue to visit and bookmark our official Air Jordan 5 Bronze launch page now for more images, info and release details.
Get this. The Air Jordan 30 Cosmos is getting ready to release internationally on July 9th. The U.S. still does not have a release date for the shoe. Which is extremely surprising to see the shoe arrive at Chicago’s 32 South State yesterday. So that means that the shoe arrived in the states (one location) way before it touched down in Europe. As far as we know, the shoe is still slated to release stateside, we just don’t know when that date is going to be. Are you from the Chicago area? Were you able to pick up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.
If you’re in the mood for some more Infrared in your life and already have the usual sneakers the neon red hue appears on like the Air Max 90 and Air Jordan 6, Jordan Brand is ready to hook you up with their latest look for the Reveal. This latest edition of the stylish new casual mid-top silhouette features a strong blend of black mesh up top and an Infrared sole blazing below. In the middle, you’ll also find some metallic gold accents for the perfect finishing touch. The Jordan Reveal “Infrared” is arriving at select sneaker shops like Oneness right now.
Here Is The Packaging The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Will Come In
By SoleInsider
For all of you who care about the shoe’s packaging as much as the shoe itself, you’ll be happy to hear that the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam that’s releasing at the end of the year will come housed in special packaging.
Being that the shoe is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Space Jam the movie, Bugs Bunny graphics make their way to the packaging. Making it official is the Looney Tunes copyright to mark the partnership. The tissue paper comes with #45 on it, while galaxy print on the plastic interior lining and concord-colored shoe trees will also come with the shoe. The packaging (along with the shoe) will release to the public on December 17th for $220.

This Holidays Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Brings Back The 45 (Video)
By SoleInsider
The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam is one of the most cherished and beloved sneakers of all-time. First appearing in the kid’s movie Space Jam starring Michael Jordan, the eponymous shoe is a time machine back to a simpler time. Oh, and it’s a really cool colorway of the Air Jordan 11 if that helps. Every time the shoe has released, sneakerheads and MJ fans have flocked to cop a pair and this year’s iteration will be no different as the movie celebrates it’s 20th anniversary. What will be different is the shoe itself, as it won’t be based on the shoe MJ wore in the movie, but rather the player exclusive Jordan wore during the 1995 NBA Playoffs that features the 45 on the heel. Will that tiny little detail deter some purists from copping? Should this upcoming release be even called the Space Jam? Will sneakerheads even care?
For more information on this upcoming release, be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 11 Space Jam launch page for all the latest info, release dates, images, videos and more.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack, New Foams, Dub Nation UA Curry 2.5
By SoleInsider
A little over a week ago the whole world was set to crown the Golden State Warriors back to back NBA champions, but the Cleveland Cavaliers managed the improbable comeback and spoiled Steph and Under Armour’s plans. The Cavs, LeBron James and Nike played spoiler to what was supposed to be a big weekend for Steph and UA, what with the release of the Under Armour Curry Two Back To Back MVP Pack and the Under Armour Curry 2.5 Dub Nation. Those kicks are still dropping and will still get plenty of attention (expect to see those Back to Back MVP Packs on eBay and Kixify as soon as they ship), but they’re sharing the spotlight with a few more releases, which we are covering in this weekend’ edition of Buy, Pass, Wait.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (Wait on the Trophy, Pass on the Confetti) I highly doubt I’ll be able to cop the Trophy for less than its $250 price tag, but on the outside chance that it bombs at retail and it drops in price, I can maybe see myself buying once it goes $200. Again, highly unlikely because there’s hype and people will cop these in the hopes of flipping them but I can hope, right? Oh, and there’s another colorway but like all confetti eventually, it’s a trip away from the trash for me.
(BTW, at this rate, we’ll be getting an Air Jordan 11 Championship Pack next year. Now who’s pumped for that?)
Andres Carrillo, News: (Pass On Both Pairs) Tell me these are $250 each again? Yeah, I don’t know either. I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 8, but I’ll admit that this is probably the best Air Jordan Championship Pack so far.
Renz: (Wait) I think both offerings are nice but I’ll side more with the Champagne since I like the cleaner look and golden accents. Plus that price tag is too steep.
Juan Carrillo, News: (Wait on Trophy, Pass on Confetti) The Trophy colorway is infinitely better looking than the Confetti pair. I’m not really a fan of the 8s, but that’s a colorway I can see myself picking up. The fact that it’s priced at $250 makes it easier for me to pass on it. But if they drop under $180 somewhere down the line I’d consider getting the white pair. At $250, no way.
EIC Juan: (Wait) So these are different from the Electrolimes how? Ditching the translucent sole was a good idea for this release that was originally thought of as a Wu-Tang tribute, but since it has zero references to the Slums of Shaolin, I’ll wait for a price drop like most Foam releases lately.
Andres: (Pass) It takes a lot for a Foamposite to capture my attention and this colorway did. I’ve always loved the combination on black and yellow but I just can’t see myself wearing a pair of Foamposites.
Renz: (Pass) It’s one of my favorite b-ball silhouettes but the colorway is too bright for my current aesthetic. I do like it though. I probably would’ve been all-over it years ago though.
News Juan: (Pass) I love Yellow/Black sneakers. It even looks okay on this model (which I’m not a fan of). Only problem is that I’ve never owned any Foams in my life and don’t plan doing so at this stage in my life. It’s cool, but it’s not something I’d pick up.
Juan: (Pass) Finally a pair of 12s I feel like I can take a break on after copping virtually every other colorway this year. If this was the only Air Jordan 12 dropping this year, it would be a must-have to satisfy that need to have fresh 12s, but it’s a throwaway in 2016.
Andres: (Pass) Decent colorway of the Air Jordan 12 but I already bought the French Blues and Flu Games which I’m extremely happy with. These are just “meh.”
Renz: (Buy) I just like the two-tone finish a lot and it’s a pretty solid option for the summer rotation. I really would’ve preferred it minus the university blue accents.
News Juan: (Pass) There are so many 12s dropping this year, and this one doesn’t happen to stand out from the pack. I see nothing special or intriguing about this colorway. It’s a little bland to be honest. I’d rather pick up 6 or 7 other 12s from this year before I pick this one up.
adidas EQT ADV Support
adidas
EIC Juan: (Wait) adidas Originals continues their hot streak with this new take on the classic EQT line, but I’m going to wait until they drop some more colorways before I make a decision on which one to get. Hope the hype for these won’t be AlphaBOUNCE or NMD levels…
Andres: (Wait) I like the “old meets new” design on this EQT ADV Support. I’m not really a fan of the OG green colorway but I think this shoe has potential. It kind of reminds me of the Flyknit Racer, which is a good thing.
Renz: (Buy) I’m biased. I’ve been a fan of the silhouette and I like this refined look even more. The OG colorway is sweet but the ADV 910 in black/white is even sweeter.
News Juan: (Buy) The model is a perfect combination of classic and modern. I really like the what adidas is doing when it comes to modernizing and updating their EQT line. I need to get my hands on the pair coming in the OG colorway. Great job, adidas!
Under Armour Curry 2.5 Dub Nation
Under Armour
EIC Juan: (Pass) I was seeded a pair of the 2.5 a few weeks ago and they are fine for what they are, but I don’t feel the need to have more than one pair either to walk in or play ball in after trying them on.
Andres: (Pass) I wonder if people will still buy these after that disappointing NBA Finals loss. Under Armour should have released these before the Warriors took that L.
Renz: (Pass) I think that if the Warriors won the series, this might sell out. The colorway is pretty solid, but, I’m still not tempted in purchasing the silhouette.
News Juan: (Pass) Eh, I’ve yet to see a Curry sneaker that I feel like I need to own. This one is cool and all, but there’s nothing really special about it.
