While we wait for the Air Jordan 12 Grey/University Blue to release next week, there will be another pretty dope colorway of the Air Jordan 12 hitting retailers in less than 24 hours.

Noted as a GS exclusive colorway, this Air Jordan 12 takes on a Black nubuck upper with beautiful contrasting hits of Hyper Violet landing on the outsole, inner liner, heel and the branding on the tongue. The upper eyelets have been colored in gold to give a nice pop to the sneaker.

This Air Jordan 12 GS Hyper Violet arrives at select Jordan Brand retailers tomorrow in sizes that range from 4Y-9.5Y. Retail price has been set at $140.

Author’s Take

If I hadn’t just picked up the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game I would have seriously considered buying this colorway. Even though it’s a GS colorway I like the combination of black and purple.

Although it only has a few hits of Carolina blue, this upcoming all-new Air Jordan 12 colorway has picked up the “UNC” nickname referring to Michael’s alma mater. Whether you think North Carolina when you look at this predominantly grey and white version of the Air Jordan 12 or not, few will disagree that it’s one of the cleanest new colorways of the model we’ve seen in a while, perfect to round out your late summer sneaker rotation. But if you’re still on the fence about picking up a pair, perhaps these official Nike images will help you make your decision. Study up and then don’t forget that they drop June 25th in a full family size run.

After giving you official images of the Champagne and Confetti colorways from the upcoming Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack, we have now found out that it may not be so easy to obtain this celebratory pack.

According to Footaction’s Release Locator page, their map shows that only a handful of their stores across the country will be releasing the sneakers. That doesn’t mean they won’t be available at other retailers, because they will, but the amount available will probably be less than other retros that have released this year.

Make sure you click and bookmark our Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack launch page for the latest release information, images, videos and other updates. Look for this pack to release on June 25, 2016 with each pair retailing for $250.

While the London iteration is exclusive to Europe only, it seems that this Air Jordan 10, which pays tribute to Shanghai, China, is suggested to be an Asia-exclusive release as well.

Noted as part of the brand?s standout S/S 2016 city pack, the sneaker sports an predominantly stealthy hue with black covering its premium tumbled leather upper. Accents of gamma blue and fierce purple are subtly evident on the piping of component, while it’s more prominent throughout the translucent sole unit in a sleek, gradient finish.

Finally, a ?HAI? embroidery is located along the collar to further reference the respective city.

Priced at $190, you can find this pair at select JB and Nike retailers tomorrow, Saturday, June 18th.

Author’s Take

Out of the entire offerings from the city pack this year, I feel that this is the best pair, even though it?s almost similar to the NYC pair. I just like the overall execution and how the accentuating colors were placed.

From time to time we see Michael Jordan memorabilia such as game-worn sneakers or jerseys being auctioned off. But what about an item that once belonged to Michael that he created way before anyone knew he would become a star?

Today we take a look at a hand-written poem that he wrote to a girl back when he was only in grade school. The poem is titled “Only You” and young MJ expresses his love to what was probably his childhood sweetheart. The letter is even signed at the bottom “Michael Jeffrey Jordan.” To make things even better, the poem has been certified as authentic by James Spence Authentication.

Sure, Jordan Brand didn’t give us a proper retro of the coveted Air Jordan 10 “City Pack”, but the latest creations inspired by global metropolises known for their fashion forward aesthetic has definitely given everyone something to be happy about. The latest City Pack Air Jordan 10s land in Shanghai, London, and Charlotte for a trio of interesting lifestyle takes on the iconic retro. The Air Jordan 10 “Shanghai” focuses on the theme of Feng Shui, with a gradient Gamma Blue and Fierce Purple landing on the piping and outsole. A black leather base keeps things relatively simple. The Air Jordan 10 “London” focuses on the grey skies found over the U.K. city, as a tumbled leather Pure Platinum upper is accented by a Dark Grey and Metallic Gold. The Air Jordan 10 “Charlotte” is perhaps the only pair that would truly fit into 1995’s City Pack theme, as Mike’s current franchise, the Charlotte Hornets, get their team colors displayed prominently on a clean white ‘Home’ colorway. Each pair will be available this Saturday, June 18th for $190. Check out more photos below and stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

For those of you who were looking forward to purchasing this variation of the Air Jordan 10 from the brand’s latest city pack for S/S 2016, it’ll only be available at retailers overseas.

Boasting a soft grey tone across its leather composition, the palette is a reflection of one of London’s nicknames ? ?The Big Smoke.? This was given to the city due to the 1950?s era when London residents would use coal fires to keep their homes warm, thus polluting the sky with a greyish fog and simply remembered with the sneaker?s overall colorway.

Tonal black accents gracing the midsole, tongue, laces, eye stays and inner lining further complement the theme, while premium flair is provided by gold accents with the stitched ?LDN? on the collar and the Jumpman embroidery across the heel.

Retailing for $190, the silhouette will be available at select JB and Nike accounts in Europe only, starting Saturday, June 18th.

I?m a fan of the silhouette overall and I?m biased towards these shades. The colorway looks solid and versatile, and I was actually considering on purchasing. Now, it?ll be more difficult and the resale on this pair just went up a bit more.

Does this Air Jordan 12 look familiar? You might remember the Air Jordan 12 “Gamma Blue” from 2013 featuring a rather similar construction, and now the near-identical look is returning in a grade school exclusive on July 2nd. Instead of the Gamma Blue shade that dominated 2013’s release slate, the look here is dubbed “Hyper Jade” and adds the shade to the lining while replacing the red Jumpman branding with a clean Metallic Silver. What do you think of the look? Check out more photos after the break and be sure to stay updated on the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 12 continues to surprise, as another kids’ exclusive colorway is slated to arrive at retailers later this summer. With the “Hyper Violet” pair releasing this weekend, Jordan Brand is taking a different route for this subtle White/Grey-Black pair which is simple enough to deserve a full family size run. Instead, the Jumpman is limiting this clean pair to just GS sizes, taking a break from the candy-coated vibrancy usually found in the kids’ category. What do you think of the look? Check out a better view below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date in the near future.

The Air Jordan 12 GS will be receiving a new colorway just in time for summer, as it’s set to make its arrival this weekend.

The grade school-exclusive basketball sneaker inherits a simple, yet bold two-tone color scheme, as black covers its entire suede/nubuck upper, leather mudguard and midsole unit. All juxtaposed nicely against its defining hue, in particular, the inner lining, outsole, rear section and pull tabs, the model is topped off with shimmering metallic gold accents on the upper eyelets for additional premium flair.

Retailing for $140, you can purchase it at select JB and Nike retailers tomorrow, Saturday, June 18th.

The post The Air Jordan 12 GG “Hyper Violet” Releases This Weekend appeared first on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 12 continues to be celebrated in this year, as the model is previewed in another colorway, which is rumored to make its arrival this summer.

Flaunting a classic palette of white/grey and black, the color scheme is reminiscent of MJ’s days with the Birmingham Barons in 1994, which was essentially a minor league baseball team and Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox major-league club.

White and grey covers the majority of its leather composition, while touches of black are applied on the miniature side panels, upper eyelets, tongue, heel tabs and branding on the rear.

The model is reportedly a GS variation, but stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates and its official release date.

Hopefully it’s not a GS offering only. I’m a fan of the silhouette and especially in this colorway. I’m just biased.

With the Hyper Violet colorway arriving this weekend, the next gradeschool-exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 12 will be offered in another vibrant iteration, this time featuring a Jade finish.

Boasting an eye-catching two-tone makeup, the majority of its nubuck upper is rendered in black, while the remainder of its composition, particularly the leather forefoot, leather portion and outsole are shaded in the defining hue. In addition, the vivid tone graces the inner lining, heel tab and rear section as well.

Furthermore, subtle accents of grey on the miniature side panels and metallic silver on the upper eyelets finishes off the design.

Priced at $140, you can find this pair at select Nike and JB stockists on July 2nd.
