Sneakers In 4K: Air Jordan 12 Flu Game (Video)

Chances are you probably own the recently Air Jordan 12 Flu Game. Nike dropped so many pairs a few weeks back that most anybody that wanted a pair was able to secure them. It makes sense for the swoosh to produce literally tons of the product; it’s one of the most iconic Air Jordans ever made because Michael wore them during arguably his most iconic performance. It’s not everyday that Jordan Brand goes out of their way to hype up a retro release, but that’s what happened with their “Greatness Overcomes” campaign that included the obligatory hashtag, a series of videos feature DB Smooth and a pop-up shop in Utah.

But just in case you weren’t able to score a pair of the Flu Games, here’s a look at the shoe in stupid nice HD as part of our Sneakers In 4K. It’s the closest thing to owning the real deal.

Follow up on the recent release of the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game by checking out our launch page that detailed the shoe from its initial leak to the day it dropped.

I don?t think the silhouette is that bad. It looks pretty solid in this colorway too. I?m not that tempted into purchasing it though.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general and I like the blacked-out finish most of all. The theme is cool but I would?ve preferred gold/silver confetti instead. Still a solid offering though.

The Air Jordan 12 has released in a number of solid colorways this year, and this is another great example. If only those blue-colored panels on the sides would be white instead, I?ll be all over it.

Blake Griffins Jordan SuperFly 5 Releases In August

After Blake Griffin took his rim-rocking, high-flying antics to Jordan Brand, the Super.Fly basketball silhouette was born. Although not an official signature shoe of Blake’s, this flagship model has been one of the more trusted hooping options thanks to key technology points like Zoom Air, Flywire, and more. For the all-new Jordan Super.Fly 5, Jordan Brand continues the path it laid out in 2012 and adds an even more lightweight upper and an inner sleeve. The Super.Fly 5 launches with an MSRP of $150 on June 30th in Greater China, with a global launch hitting in August 1st.

Release Date: Air Jordan 12 GS Barons

AIR JORDAN 12 8 AIR JORDAN 12 9 AIR JORDAN 12 10 AIR JORDAN 12 11 AIR JORDAN 12 12 AIR JORDAN 12 13

Last weekend we saw the release of the Air Jordan 12 GS Hyper Violet, which many guys were disappointed didn’t release in men’s sizes. If that pair had you salty then this new Barons colorway will probably be more bad news.

Draped in a premium White leather upper, this GS exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 12 is then hit with Wolf Grey detailing on the mudguard, midsole, outsole and heel. Hits of Black can then be seen on the tongue branding, upper eyelets, heel and side panel branding, and finally on the outsole. It is rumored that this colorway of the Air Jordan 12 takes inspiration from the Birmingham Barons, the minor league baseball team that Michael Jordan played for the first time he retired.

Look for the Air Jordan 12 GS Barons to release on August 13, 2016 for a retail price of $140. Will you take advantage of the extended GS sizing that goes up to 9.5Y and cop a pair?

Author’s Take

Very clean colorway of the Air Jordan 12. I may try to pick up a pair when they release later this Summer.

WWE Kicks: Shane McMahon Brings Out A Pair Of Custom Air Jordan 1s For Raw

Shane McMahon has becomes somewhat of a regular here at Kicks On Fire thanks to his close ties with Jordan Brand. After wearing a handful of Air Jordan retros this year already, last night the man in charge of “the new era” showed us some versatility in his sneaker game.

Over the weekend we showed you that Mache Customs created custom “$hane O Mac” Air Jordan 1s for Shane that featured a black and green upper with a contrasting white sole to match up with Shane’s “Here Comes The Money” entrance theme. Shane wasted no time in breaking these bad boys out as we wore them for last night’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Did you see him rocking the sneakers last night? What do you think he’ll be wearing on his feet the next time he makes an appearance on Raw?

Detailed Shots Of The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo

The Air Jordan 14 will be making a return in a couple of months. The colorway helping bring the shoe back is none other that the Air Jordan 14 Indiglo. It’s been quite some time since this shoe in this colorway released, so I’m pretty sure everyone who owns or used to own a pair is in need of a fresh one.

The 14s come dressed in a Black leather and durabuck upper. The Black hue is also placed on the lining, laces and part of the midsole. The shoe gets its nickname by way of the Indigo accents that help contrast the Black look of the shoe. Hits of White can be seen on the midsole to round out the look of the shoe. Are you happy to see this model make a return? Priced at $190 and releasing on August 13th, be sure to visit out Air Jordan 14 Indiglo hub page for the latest info and images regarding this release.

The Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Confetti Drops This Weekend, Will You Cop

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

Jordan Brand celebrates Michael Jordan’s 3rd NBA Championship and the completion of his first threepeat with the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack this upcoming weekend.

After showing you official images of the white Trophy colorway yesterday, we now take a look at the black pair that is inspired by confetti. This Air Jordan 8 features a black tumbled leather upper with patent leather detailing added around the ankle/heel. The dark upper represents how playing without the support of a home crowd feels as the visiting team. The celebration is expressed through the bright confetti graphics that appear on the insoles, inner bootie, over the midsole, and on the outsole. Pairing up the bright confetti over the dark base allows the celebration to become the focal point of the shoe. Hidden underneath the signature cross-straps lies a triumphant message: “WORLD CHAMPIONS” and “AGAIN AND AGAIN”.

Look for this celebratory Air Jordan 8 to release on June 25, 2016 for a retail price of $250. Also make sure to head over to our Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack to see more images, release information and other updates on this release.

The confetti graphics are a nice touch on this Air Jordan 8 but I still can’t wrap my head around why this shoe retails for $250.

Midnight Navy has then been placed on the inner liner as well as on the heel tab. Finishing off the look is White which lands on the mudguard, midsole and outsole.

I?ve never owned a pair of Space Jam 11s before and it?s a sneaker I think everyone just needs in their collection if you?re an Air Jordan fan. I still haven?t  made up my mind on whether or not I?m going to cop.
