No player emulated Michael Jordan quite like Kobe Bryant. From his aging game’s reliance on crafty turnaround jumpers to his competitive drive, there’s a reason that Mike said that Kobe’s the only player he could see beating him in a game of one-on-one, “because he stole all of (his) moves”. Now Jordan Brand is paying homage to the MJ protégé with this Air Jordan Kobe Pack consisting of a Lakers-themed Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8. The duo each features a black “Away” base while accents of purple and gold hit in the patterns native to each silhouette, from the 3’s cement elephant print to the wavy-early 90s style of the heel and outsole. Still no word yet on the nature of this duo’s availability and when they will hit retailers, but check out a brief glimpse below.

I’ll always admire this silhouette. I’m not a big fan of the makeup, but this colorway is definitely appealing. It’s a versatile offering overall.

Back in December of 2015 it was reported that Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, would be opening up his own sneaker boutique in the Spring of 2016.

The store will be called Trophy Room and will be inspired by Michael Jordan’s trophy room that is housed inside of the family?s iconic mansion outside of Chicago. Trophy Room will be full of Michael Jordan memorabilia and will sell products from Nike, Jordan Brand and Upper Deck. We have now just learned that Marcus Jordan’s Trophy Room will be located in the Disney Springs shopping/dining center located inside the Walt Disney resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The store is currently scheduled to open its doors on May 15, 2016 but if anything changes we will let you know.

Take a look at the teaser video below and let us know if you plan on visiting the Trophy Room this Spring.

Also releasing this weekend from the Jordan Brand camp will be this brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 KO.

Being known as the Timeless Canvas colorway, this Air Jordan 1 KO comes equipped with the traditional canvas upper done in a retro-inspired Sail hue. Contrasting Varsity Red detailing then lands on the Swoosh branding on the side panels, Nike branding on the tongue, AJKO branding by the ankle and on the Nike Vandal High-inspired outsole.

According to the Nike release calendar this Air Jordan 1 KO will release in men’s sizes only through the SNKRS app and not on nike.com. Retail price will be $140.

I can definitely see the OG inspiration in this colorway but white canvas on a sneaker is a no-no. I can already imagine how hard it?ll be to take care of these. Pass for me.

Completing the Jordan Brand Poster Collection that also features the Air Jordan 12 The Master that released (and sold out) this past weekend, will be the Air Jordan 2 Wing It.

Just like this past weekend’s Air Jordan 12, the Air Jordan 2 Wing It pays tribute to an Air Jordan ad/poster that released back in 1986. A premium White textured leather dominates the upper on this Air Jordan 2 with Black and Dark Gray detailing on the tongue, laces, inner liner, heel, and midsole. The words “Wing It” have been added on the heels to capture the spirit of Jordan?s effortless game above the rim.

The Air Jordan 2 Wing It will be available in full family sizing on March 5th with the men’s pair retailing for $190. Make sure you visit our Air Jordan 2 Wing It launch page for additional images, videos and other important updates regarding this release.

This is easily the best colorway of the Air Jordan 2 that we’ve seen this year. I like the simple black and white color scheme but not enough to pay $190 for it. I think I’d rather just wait for the black/chrome or the Chicago colorway to return and pick up one of those two.

Knicks fans can have something to cheer about, as the next rendition of the Air Jordan 5 Low is essentially defined by its New York-inspired colorway.

Flaunting a full blue-based nubuck upper, the low-top is accentuated with bright orange accents located on the inner lining, tongue tab, heel, lace lock and distinctive jagged component on its midsole. Furthermore, a white unit and reflective tongue further encapsulates its respective theme, as it all rests atop an icy translucent outsole.

Over the past couple of years we’ve seen an number of new colorways for the Air Jordan 1 KO that borrow OG color schemes from the standard Air Jordan 1 High, I.E. the “Royal” and “Shadow” looks.

If you consider yourself an Air Jordan 1 OG completist collector, you can’t do it without these.

Flight has always been a theme for ‘Air’ Jordan models given Mike’s legendary high-flying ability in the earlier seasons of his illustrious career, so it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that the Jumpman eventually spread their respective wings and took off to the outer realms of the cosmos with this Air Jordan XXX. Fans of galactic graphics on basketball models will inevitably be reminded of 2012’s iconic All-Star Collection that featured the Galaxy Foams and here the Air Jordan 30 Cosmos does its best impression thanks to the limitless capabilities of the Flyweave upper. A black base sees speckles of distance stars and galaxies while a white patent leather toecap matches the ‘XXX’ heel cage. There’s still no release confirmation for this Galaxy-esque Jordan XXX but stick with us right here on Sneaker News for all of your Jordan release date needs.

Landing this weekend is the Air Jordan 2 Wing It, the other half of the Air Jordan Poster Collection along with the recently released Air Jordan 12 The Master. The Wing It colorway takes a simplified approach with white, black and grey adorning the silhouette. It’s a classy approach to a model that was originally conceived as a luxury basketball shoe and of course, the “Wing It” catchphrase that you can find on the the shoe’s heel adds a little bit of that Nike “Just Do It” attitude that was prevalent during their ’80s advertising campaigns.

To learn more about the shoe, check out our Air Jordan 2 Wing It launch page for more release information, images, videos and much more. Don’t forget to check out our list of favorite classic Air Jordan posters.

When Nike launched their SNKRS Application during All-Star Weekend 2015, sneakerheads everywhere rejoiced that there might be a better chance to grab the latest Jordan retros in a more modern, time-friendly fashion. The SNKRS App proved that and then some, as the Swoosh decided to expand the SNKRS process to their full website in a section that requires one to login in order to snag exclusive pairs. The Air Jordan XXX “UNC” will debut through that method this Saturday, March 5th for $200. With March Madness at the end of the month, what better time than now for the Jumpman to roll out collegiate colorways of Mike’s latest signature silhouette? The bolstered Flyweave upper features a University Blue to White gradient throughout while the ‘XXX’ heel cage contrasts the Black lining in a smooth White. At 23-6, the Tar Heels shouldn’t have an issue getting into the big dance, but hopefully the latest Air Jordan 30 provides them with the added push to finish atop the ACC. Check out more official photos below and pick up this Air Jordan XXX on March 5th through Nike SNKRS.

The shop is set to open on May 15th, 2016, but stay tuned for more details regarding this retail venture by MichaeL Jordan’s eldest son.
