The ever-growing trend of Jordans on the female gender has given the brand a fresh platform to unleash products in a whole new light.

Usually presented in colorful colorways for the kids, this latest Gradeschool Girls Air Jordan 1 gets a refined, grown-up look. The more mature look is achieved by ditching the usual pinks, bright greens, purples, etc. we’re used to seeing on kids’ Air Jordans, and opting for a more subtle combination of off-white and dark brown leather. The look is completed with metallic gold Swooshes and a translucent brown outsole to add some very classy touches. The more sophisticated young lady Air Jordan fans can find these arriving at select Jordan Brand retailers now.

Author’s Take

It?s reminiscent of the OVO collab. I?m all for tonal looks and this pair is certainly versatile and perfect for everyday wear. I?m a New Yorker so I guess I?m biased.

There’s several premium versions of the Air Jordan 4 out there. The Air Jordan 4 PRM Snakeskin drops next month, and the Air Jordan 4 Premium Black dropped less than two weeks ago. In my opinion though, none of them are as premium looking as the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian. Coming in an Obsidian colored upper, today we get a closer look at this Fall release.

Opting to go with a very luxurious aesthetic, the shoe comes dressed in a quilted leather that’s placed all over the upper. Additional leather detailing is placed on the laces and lining and insoles. In an attempts to contrast the tonal upper, copper hits are placed on the studded heel tab, eyestays and the custom hang tag. The shoe sits on top of a white sole unit to give it a clean and crisp look. Releasing sometime in the Fall for $400, is this the best premium version of the Air Jordan 4 we’ve seen thus far? Stay tuned in to our Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian launch page for additional information.

I like it. The shoes does evoke a premium feel to it. Small stuff like the leather laces and quilted upper give it a nice luxurious feel. Will I drop $400 on them? Perhaps. Only time will tell.

The Charlotte Hornets are currently facing the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA Playoffs and as I glance at the scoreboard it looks like they’ll be heading back home for game 3 down in the series 2 games to none.

Since Michael Jordan is the majority of the Hornets Jordan Brand has created a couple of special PE colorways of the Air Jordan XXX for some of the players to wear. Pictured above are the “Away” and “Home” Charlotte Hornets PE colorways of the Air Jordan XXX. The away pair comes with a black upper with teal detailing on the heel and purple detailing on the midsole. The Home pair features a white upper with purple detailing on the gradient heel and midsole as well as teal accents.

If you had the opportunity to pick up either pair which one would you go with?

Not bad, not bad at all. I think if both pairs made it to retailers people would be pretty happy. I’m a bigger fan of the black pair.

Scheduled to release in a little over a week from today (unless Jordan Brand decides to change the release date) is the Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman.

Today we bring you some new images of the sneakers to prepare you for the release. This Air Jordan 1 comes draped in a Light Crimson leather upper with Midnight Navy detailing appearing on the Swoosh, ankle, tongue, inner liner, ?Wings? logo by the ankle and the outsole. A White midsole and University Blue Nike Air branding finish things off. This colorway of the Air Jordan 1 is inspired by Michael Jordan?s visit to The Late Show With David Letterman fresh off his 63-point playoff performance against the Boston Celtics.

Scheduled to release on April 30th for $160, let us know if this will be a cop or a pass for you. Also make sure you visit our Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman launch page for additional images and updates regarding this upcoming release.

When I first saw pictures of this Air Jordan 1 I didn?t like it at all. Now that I see better pictures I think it doesn?t look that bad. The only thing I don?t like is the University Blue hits on the tongue.

I’m just going to say it and get it out the way. Most of us prefer black pairs of Jordans over Navy pairs, right? Navy Blue Jordans really don’t get love from JB, which is why I’m not able to count more than 5 retros rocking the all-navy look. Perhaps we can’t like what we’re not used to, right? If that’s the case, I highly suggest you don’t sleep on the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum.

Although it comes with a look we’re not used to seeing on Jordan retros, you can’t deny that a Navy Blue upper looks pretty dope on a Jordan 11. The mesh/patent leather upper stands out even more by placing it on top of a white midsole and gum bottom outsole. It may be too simple for some, but sometimes “less is more”, and this happens to be on of those times. Slated for a Summer release, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Stay tuned in to our official Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum launch page for further information.

How many times has Nike/Jordan Brand changed the release date on the Air Jordan 10 NYC now? I’m beginning to lose count. Last time I checked, the new “official” release date has the shoe coming out on April 27. Before that date, it was set to drop on the 28th, and before that, the initial date had it dropping this upcoming Saturday! So what’s it going to be, JB? Why are you playing with our emotions? For those of you patiently waiting for the shoes to drop, we’re here to provide you with a brand new set of images that shoe the Air Jordan 10 in all its glory too hold you off until they drop. Are you looking forward to picking up pair once they drop (eventually), or is this considered an easy pass? Still undecided? Make sure you check in with our Air Jordan 10 NYC launch page to stay up-to-date with the latest updates on this release.

Author’s Take

I like the use of two different leathers, but when it comes down to it, it’s an all-black shoe on a model I’m not too fond of. It’s a pass for me.

Aside from the recent remastered Copper offering, the Air Jordan 17 is set to be introduced in a Bulls-inspired colorway soon.

Also rumored to pay homage to MJ?s 30,000th point, while playing as Wizard against his former team on January 4, 2002, the model essentially portrays the defining palette across its entirety.

I?d prefer it in its original cut, but this colorway is pretty solid in this profile as well. I?m biased towards the palette in general. I think it?ll sell.

I?m just biased towards this colorway. I really wanted it bad back then. This pair is the best low-top variation in my view, and it?s just a classic. I?m glad to see it being revived.
