Our First Good Look At The Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone
By SoleInsider
Last week we provided you with a leaked zoomed-in image of the Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone that you see above. Today we get a much better look at what the entire shoe is going to look like.
As you can see by these new images, the Air Jordan 9 Low comes in a Carolina Blue leather and suede that takes care of the entire upper. Adding to the tonal look of the shoe are the laces and Jumpman branding on the midsole. The shoe also has hits of black placed on the inner lining as well as on the heel of the shoe. Giving the shoe a bold and classic look is the all-white midsole. No word yet on when these will release, but be sure to let us know what you think about the shoe now that you got your first good look at it.
I don’t really like Pantone-colored Jordans. While this is an Air Jordan that I don’t mind seeing in low-top form, I’d much rather get a different colorway of the shoe.

Did You Catch Jabari Parkers Air Jordan 12 PE Last Night
By SoleInsider
Last night, the Milwaukee Bucks were victorious over the Miami Heat 114-108. Jabari Parker of the Bucks finished the game with 23 points which definitely helped put his team on the winning side. Parker managed to do this while wearing a pretty dope Air Jordan 12 PE. Done up in a white and dark green colorway inspired by the team he plays for, Parker’s PE was a thing of beauty. Further adding to the Bucks theme are the small red accents found throughout the shoe. Is this the best Air Jordan PE we’ve seen all year? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
It’s a really great colorway on the Air Jordan 12, and I don’t even consider myself a fan of green sneakers. The shade of green is pretty clean and it meshes well with the all-white upper.

Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red Available Now Through Stadium Goods Early Access
By SoleInsider
This weekend, the Air Jordan 5 Low “Fire Red” will arrive at retailers exuding a certain OG aesthetic even though the pair has never released before. That’s because the “Fire Red” colorway was such an iconic color selection when it arrived on the Air Jordan 5 back in 1990 that it’s translated over to the low top variety of the silhouette. Sure, there are some differences in this version ranging from the black side panel mesh to the lack of ’23’ PE branding, but with releases like the “Alternate” and this upcoming “Fire Red”, Jordan Brand is showing that traditional Chicago homages can still hold an interest. Check out more detailed photos below and pick up this Air Jordan 5 Low today from Stadium Goods.
The UNC Tar Heels Have Two Air Jordan PEs For March Madness
By SoleInsider
An Air Jordan Player Exclusive set ain’t complete without the school that MJ hailed from. The UNC Tar Heels will take March Madness head-on with some awesome PE colorways of the Air Jordan 2 Low Retro as well as the newly unveiled Air Jordan 30, both adorned with classic Tar Heel blue and the iconic NC logos and argyle prints adorning the shoes. Like the other college PEs that we previewed over the last 24 hours, these Air Jordan exclusives won’t ever hit retail (or at least that’s what we’ve been told). Flip through the gallery below and stay tuned for one final detailed look at California’s PE collection.
Jabari Parkers Air Jordan 12 PE Is Similar To A Rare Ray Allen PE
By SoleInsider
Easily the hottest Air Jordan on the NBA court so far this year, last night Jabari Parker broke out a brand new pair of Air Jordan 12 PE’s in the white and dark green colors of his Bucks squad. While new to Jabari, a very similar colorway hit the court over ten years ago on the feet of the master of Air Jordan player exclusives, Ray Allen. Sugar Ray rocked the same white and green 12’s way back in 2004 as a member of the Seattle Sonics. Jabari’s new pair does have one difference, though, the addition of a few hits of red accents. Compare the two PE’s here, and let us know if you’d like to see the white and green Air Jordan 12 colorway hit retail.
Russell Westbrook Has A Legendary 20-Assist Game In Air Jordan XXX PE
By SoleInsider
If Russell Westbrook continues to have 20 assist games, we’re not sure even the Warriors could stop the Thunder. Of course the OKC star won’t rack up twenty-plus dimes a game, but his crazy statline of 25, 20, and 11 isn’t far off from what he produces on a nightly basis and that’s one reason why OKC is a legitimate championship contender regardless of Golden State’s and even San Antonio’s record-breaking season. Last night, Jordan Brand blessed its star athlete with yet another Air Jordan XXX PE which features an all-black upper and a blue toe-box, all topped off by the RW logo on the tongue. Don’t expect these to release, but expect Westbrook to whip out PE after PE of the all-new Jordan 30. More photos just ahead.
Just like one of the original colorways of the Air Jordan 9, this upcoming loe-top retro goes back to Michael Jordan’s college days with a North Carolina inspired colorway. Nicknamed “Pantone” due to its similarities to the Air Jordan 11 colorway of the same name, the Air Jordan 9 Low sports an all Carolina blue upper with black accents and a solid white sole for a reversed take on the classic Powder Blue colorway. Get your first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 9 Low, and stay tuned for further release information.
Marquette Takes On March Madness With Air Jordan XXX PE
By SoleInsider
The Big East Tournament continues to on as Marquette is currently battling it out with St. John’s University for survival. The Jordan Brand-outfitted school has laced up the roster with some dope Air Jordan XXX and Air Jordan 2 Low PEs adorned with the signature school colors of navy, university blue, and bright yellow. Will we continues to see these on feet, or will Marquette’s road to the Big East ‘ship and more importantly the Big Dance come to an end soon? Peep these exclusive images below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more looks at Jordan PEs for March Madness.
Releasing this Spring will be a new colorway of the Air Jordan 9 Low that should garner some attention thanks to the colors used on the shoe.
This Air Jordan 9 Low comes dressed in a Black leather upper that switches off between smooth leather on the majority of the upper and a textured faux snakeskin on the mudguard and heel. Providing some contrast are a White outsole and Gym Red accents on the inner liner, and the branding on the tongue, heel and midsole. Since this is a low-top it will be a shoe that should get some heavy run this Spring and Summer so it’ll be interesting to see how sneakerheads react to it when it does release.
Dropping on April 16th for a retail price of $170, is this a cop or a drop for you? Also make sure you visit our Air Jordan 9 Low Black / White launch page for additional images, videos, and other updates.
I don’t really mess with the original Air Jordan 9 so a low-top version doesn’t even make me look twice. The colorway is decent but Jordan Brand should have made this a mid.

Look For The Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red This Weekend
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand will slow things down considerably with releases this weekend in comparison to everything they dropped last week. Arriving on Saturday is the low-top version of one of the most beloved colorways of the Air Jordan 5 ever.
The OG Air Jordan 5 Fire Red will be dropping this weekend but in low-top form making it perfect for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. This Air Jordan 5 Low comes dressed in a White leather upper with vibrant Fire Red detailing on the midsole, inner liner, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue. Hits of Black then appear on the tongue, midsole, side panel mesh netting and the Jumpman logos on the heel to complete the classic Chicago Bulls color scheme. Wrapping things up is an icy blue translucent outsole.
You can scoop up your pair on March 12th for a retail price of $175. Make sure to visit our Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red launch page for additional images, video and other important updates regarding this release.
The original mid version of the Air Jordan 5 is one of my favorite Jordan Brand silhouettes, but the low-top version just looks like an experiment gone wrong to me. These are an easy pass in my book.

By SoleInsider
Releasing in a little over two weeks will be the Air Jordan 12 French Blue. The beloved colorway of Michael Jordan’s 12th signature will be getting the retro treatment for the first time since its debut back in 2005.
Looking at this 2016 version of the Air Jordan 12 French Blue we can see that the sneaker is covered a premium White tumbled leather throughout the majority of the upper with French Blue detailing on the mudguard, outsole, heel and branding.

The Air Jordan 12 is one of the silhouettes I’m missing from my collection and this French Blue colorway is definitely on my must-cop list for 2016. I can’t wait to get my hands on these beauties.
The Air Jordan 10 OVO Is The Alternative You’ve Been Hoping For
Today we get a closer look at this upcoming tonal Air Jordan 2 courtesy of icyheatsole. This Air Jordan 2 featured a reptile-textured leather all throughout the upper with red covering essentially every part of the sneaker including the midsole, tongue, inner liner, laces, and outsole. The only hits of contrast come on the Air Jordan branding on the tongue in black and a dash of Hyper Turquoise on the outsole.
The Air Jordan 2 Low Gym Red is expected to release in early April for a retail price of $160. What are your thoughts?
Mistakes Were Made: Remembering The Curious Fits Of The Air Jordan 5 Grape
By SoleInsider
This past weekend, the Air Jordan 12 Dynamic Pink/Valentine’s Day/Vivid Pink/Whatever It’s Pink released to much fanfare. Despite being a GS exclusive, the shoe sold out quickly, with some many already being resold online and idiots doing really dumb things for them. But for every reseller that desperately wants to profit from this unique release because they haven’t been able to eat lately from buying 20 pairs of the Air Jordan 5 Low Dunk From Above, there was another showing their newest cop for the world to see. Like this guy…
Or this crew.
@jaklap
Or this one. Wait, this one’s perfectly fine.
@sandytejada
Or this one by Young Thug. Wait, it’s normal too.
@thuggerhugger1
So it wasn’t the end of the world like some people wanted to make it out to be. Yes, there were people clearly looking to become internet famous by putting on an outrageous outfit to match with their new Js, but there were also those who knew what they were doing and had a style that matched the kicks. As somebody who has several pairs of pink or mostly pink sneakers, it’s not that hard to find jeans and shirts to wear that won’t make me look like a fool.
And besides, all of this is nothing compared to the craziness that was the Air Jordan 5 Grape launch back in 2013. That was brutal on so many levels because it brought together a lot of things that we love and hate to love, like ’90s nostalgia and its counterpart fake ’90s nostalgia to appear cool, purple, teal, the Charlotte Hornets and the Air Jordan 5 itself. It was not the best of times, and I’m not just talking about the quality of the retro themselves. We had to deal with this…
And this.
And this gem. Words can’t describe my disgust admiration for this brave soul.
But then we also got a pre-Reebok Kendrick that makes it work.
And this gem, because #FashionKing.
So what do these Kendrick and Russell pics prove? That the Air Jordan 5 Grape, like the Air Jordan 12 Dynamic Pink, can be a versatile sneaker given the right circumstances. It can be simple or it can be loud, but a big part of it is how comfortable the person is wearing them. If they’re confident, they can pull off either look and not get clowned for it. So go ahead and wear the all-pink everything with matching Js. Just own it and don’t do it for the extra Snapchat and Instagram followers.
New Images Of The Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand will be releasing a brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 that 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.
Utilizing the Air Jordan 1 as the silhouette of choice, this Air Jordan 1 is of the high-top and OG variety meaning that it will feature the Nike Air branding on the tongue. The upper is constructed out of a Light Crimson 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 on this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 1.
You’ll be able to purchase the Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman beginning on April 30, 2016 for a retail price of $160. What are your thoughts? Do you plan on picking up a pair?
After watching the Letterman interview video I can see where the color inspiration came from as Michael has on a Crimson jacket with a blue shirt underneath. And also the microphone is sitting in front of Michael throughout the entire interview so it?s essentially always in sight. These will be a pass for me though.

A Better Look At The Air Jordan 2 Low Marquette PE
By SoleInsider
A few days ago we gave you a first look at the Air Jordan 2 Low made exclusively for the men’s basketball team from Marquette University. Today we have even more and better images of the Air Jordan 2 Low Marquette PE.
Being that Marquette is a Jordan Brand affiliate school, they get rewarded with Jordan Brand exclusives. One of the latest perks they were blessed with was the shoe you see above. The Marquette-themed upper comes in a navy blue suede accompanied by the safari print placed on the mudguard of the shoe. Adding a bold touch to the shoe are the yellow accents placed on the heel, eyelets and midsole of the shoe. Marquette’s logo appears on the tongue, while a light shade of blue is used for the laces. The shoe is completed by using a translucent outsole to house the Marquette branding placed inside the outsole. You can look buy you can’t touch as these sneakers are not scheduled to release to the public.
I these were to release, I’d buy them only to customize them and make them in to a Pacers PE. Then again, they are Air Jordan 2 Lows, damn. I wish they were just regular Air Jordan 2s.
