The colors pop nicely on this pair of 10s, but Im just not a fan of the Grape/Hornets colorway so I’ll have to pass on these.

A bronze medal in basketball at the Olympics isn’t something that was celebrated by the United States when it happened back in 2004, but it did set the tone for the 2008 and 2012 squads to represent the country in dominant fashion as to make sure it would never happen again. The latest Rio Olympic reference to land on a Jordan Brand release will be this premium Air Jordan 5 featuring a near-iridescent Obsidian upper, White midsole, icy blue outsole, and, of course, Metallic Red Bronze accents throughout. Known as the Air Jordan 5 “Bronze”, the metallic sheen hits the tongue dressed in patent leather and livens up the fierce shark-teeth on the midsole for a unique twist. The colorway is slated to arrive at retailers on September 24th for $190 USD. Check out more detailed photos below and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Jordan Brand kicked off June in a huge way, releasing two colorways of the Air Jordan 11 Low to the masses to set the Summer off right.

In Europe, it appears that June 18th is the confirmed date for both pairs, so if you’re on the other side of the Atlantic, be sure to check your retailer to pick up one of the best shoes of the season.

I’m not that big fan of the higher placement of the patent leather overlay, but this one of my favorite sneakers ever. I?m just glad it?s being released again and hopefully in lots of quantities.

The Air Jordan 10 City Pack continues with a layover in Mike’s current NBA city of Charlotte. When the AJ10 was the Jumpman model of choice back in 1995, Michael Jordan was still considering being a professional baseball player until the MLB strike made him change his mind and return to the Bulls. That original City Pack was given out to players from numerous NBA cities like Sacramento, Seattle (R.I.P), New York, and more. This year’s revisiting has skipped over the NBA team affiliation except for this Air Jordan 10 “Charlotte” outlier featuring Concord and Blue Lagoon accents on top of a white leather base. The Charlotte Hornets-inspired pair is slated to arrive at retailers this Saturday, June 18th for $190 USD. Continue onward for a better view of the latest City Pack Jordan 10 and know that you can grab your size right now on eBay.

Here’s an Air Jordan 12 pair that DeMarcus Cousins can get behind, for as long as he’s still a member of the Sacramento Kings. The Air Jordan 12 has had an awesome 2016 run with a number of iconic original colorways returning to retail shelves and then disappearing shortly thereafter. From French Blue to Flu Game, Mike’s twelfth signature model has kept busy, even dropping in a number of grade school exclusive color selections. Here a black upper is accented by premium Metallic Gold lace eyelets while a vibrant Hyper Violet shade hits the lining, branding, and outsole. This kid’s exclusive will be available on June 18th for $140, but you can always find your pair right now on eBay.

A revamped Air Jordan 12 is expected to offered in the coming months ahead, as this particular pair is defined with an upgraded upper.

Previous reports suggested the model to inherit a nylon build, although it’s more like to be neoprene, as the fabric is more resistant to weather elements such as cold temperature, direct sunlight, and moisture. Additionally, the fabric has the ability to absorb shocks and promote a lighter feel.

Premium leather overlays are applied located on the forefoot and lateral portion to retain its premium and iconic flair, while touches of bright red adorn the tongue. Other notable details include matching heel pull tabs with embossed branding, as well as more Jumpman motif implemented on the outsole.

Finished off with a crisp, white rubber sole unit, the sneaker is scheduled to drop at Nike and JB retailers on September 10 for a retail price tag of $190.

Like I shared before, it?ll be interesting to see how this model does. This variation looks really solid. I always wondered if the brand would explore new materials and apply it on classics just to see how it would be received. For example, the utilization of flyknit or engineered mesh as well.

The Charlotte iteration of the Air Jordan 10 is noted as part of JB?s city pack for S/S 2016 and it’s scheduled to debut in a few more days.

Essentially a tribute to the NBA team that MJ currently owns, the model flaunts the Hornets? signature palette. Pristine white is predominant across its leather upper, while the theme is encapsulated with light purple and teal adorning the tongue, eye stays, inner lining and outsole unit.

Furthermore, a ?CHA? embroidery is located on the collar as a nod to the respective city.

Retailing for a price tag of $190, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, June 18th.

I appreciate the theme and I?m a fan of the silhouette in general. I?m not too keen on the colorway, but fans should still be excited.

More views of this Air Jordan 5 is provided, as the model is suggested to pay tribute to the 2016 Summer Olympics which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Sporting a predominantly Obsidian-colored upper with a slight sheen, the defining hue is prominent across its tongue and signature shark teeth element on the midsole unit. All resting atop a clean, white midsole and translucent outsole to cap off the theme, the model is finished off with clear lace locks, matching laces and branding on the tongue, as well as on the heel.

Retailing for $190, you can start purchasing a pair at select JB and Nike retailers on September 24th.

I’m a fan of the silhouette in general and I think this colorway is pretty solid. The tones work well together and I guess I’m just biased.

Following a previous report, a rendering of what the forthcoming Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD might possibly look like has been created, as the silhouette is rumored to debut sometime next year.

During 2005, the LA-based streetwear label produced a special rendition of the Air Jordan 4, and it appears that the colorway on the AJ 8 will inherit the same palette. Olive essentially drapes the nubuck upper, while accents of orange are implemented on the rear mudguard, tongue and portion of the outsole, as it’s finished off with a white/black sole unit.

An exact release date has not been confirmed, but stay tuned to KicksOnFire for additional updates once they arise.

I’m a fan of the silhouette overall, as well as the LA-based brand, and this offering looks pretty solid (pending this is how the real pair will look). Nonetheless, this will obviously get the attention it deserves.

What else is Jordan Brand cooking up for Summer 2016? Fans of the Air Jordan 12 have been treated to a number of iconic OG colorways throughout the past few months, and during a “Flu Game” inspired pop-up in Utah over the weekend, the Jumpman previewed another upcoming colorway. Drake’s Air Jordan 12 OVO exclusive won’t be so exclusive anymore, as a pair was on display in the premium white and gold colorway featuring that luxurious stingray leather treatment on the mudguard hinting at a widespread release in the near future. Rumors have the pair locked in for a July 30th release date, while the other Black/Gold pair hasn’t been confirmed for a retail release just yet. Check out a better look below and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Is it me, or did the Air Jordan 5 OG Black Metallic release just creep on us? Less than two weeks away, today we get our latest look at the Air Jordan 5 Metallic rocking the beloved Nike branding.

The shoe comes constructed out of a Black nubuck upper. The Black sneaker is accented by the Fire Red, Metallic Silver and White hits placed all over the shoe. The mesh netting on the side panels comes in clear fashion, while the tongue comes in a 3M reflective manner. The Metallic Silver hits are placed on the speckled shark teeth on the Black midsole, while the outsole comes in a icy translucent fashion. A Red Jumpman is on the tongue, while the beloved Nike branding can be seen on the heel and insoles.

It’s nice to see the Nike Air on the back, but it’s not a feature I’m crazy about. I used to have these with the Jumpman on the back. I recently got rid of them. I won’t be picking up this pair.

Any Warcraft fans out there? If so, you need to take a look at this detailed Air Jordan 4 custom inspired by the movie/game and created by the 400ml graffiti team.

Said to be inspired by the story of “demon blood” which shakes up the entire Nagrand in the Warcraft universe, the 400ml graffiti team uses a combination of the highest grade of lizard skin and rare cross-pattern buffalo skin to mimic the look of the Orc’s skin. The distress technique really gives it that tough look the custom was going for. Even the blood stains are on point for the inspired look. Giving the custom even more of a real look, hemp rope and monster teeth are used on the shoe as accessories. One of the best features on the shoe is the Orc carved on the heel to pay homage to the Orc’s very best. Check out the detailed images above and be sure to visit the 400mlclothing IG page for more info regarding their work.

We’re still about three months away from the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon release date, but most of us pretty much already made up our mind regarding the sneaker. For the most part, people really like it, or they don’t like it at all, there is no in between.

For those of you who do like it, here’s the latest image of the upcoming drop. Unlike any other Air Jordan 12 ever released, the shoe comes constructed out of a nylon upper. Said to be waterproof, the nylon upper is joined by the leather overlays placed on the forefoot as well as on the lateral region of the shoe. Adding minimal pop to the shoe are the red accents placed on the tongue and quite possibly the heal (tbd). A White sole unit provides sharp contrast to complete the look of the shoe.  Priced at $190, the shoe is scheduled to release on September 10th. Be sure you visit and bookmark our official Air Jordan 10 Black Nylon launch page now for more images, info and release details.

I like the fact that the shoe will be lighter, but I really don?t like the nylon construction. I?d pick up the 12 Wool before I pick these up.
