With the 2017 NBA All-Star festivities occurring this weekend in New Orleans, the Air Jordan 31 has been treated in a special theme in honor of the celebratory event.

Inspired by one of Michael Jordan?s shining moments, in which he nailed the game-winning shot for UNC to win the NCAA Championship at the Superdome, the basketball sneaker is punctuated with shimmering iridescent overlays across its upper to reflect that shining moment. Flaunting a tonal stealthy finish overall, the model is topped off with notable branding located on its heel and tongue. Finally, an icy translucent outsole rounds out the sleek profile.

Priced at $185, you can also buy this standout pair in GS sizing at select Nike and JB stockists starting Thursday, February 16th.

Five different Air Jordans are dropping this weekend. One that should not be overlooked is this grade-school exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 6. Dubbed the Air Jordan 6 GS Heiress, let’s see what the small footers have in store for them.

Opting to keep things fairly classic, the shoe is done in a Black and White makeup. Black is placed on the upper which is constructed very uniquely as it’s done in both suede and a shiny cracked leather placed on the overlays. The waxed laces, and rubber hits on the tongue and heel pull tab also come in Black to complete the tonal look of the upper. Giving the shoe some sharp contrast is the White midsole placed below. Lastly, an icy translucent outsole completes the look.

Retailing for $160, you can will be able to get a pair of your own this Friday, February 17th.

Ever wondered what a toddler-sized version of the Air Jordan 1 Fragment looked like? You no longer have to as Kim Jones (men?s artistic director of Louis Vuitton) gives us a first look a that said curiosity.

Kim Jones recently took to his Instagram to show us this unique baby shoe. Although only one picture was provided, it appears as if the shoe mimic the exact specifications as the adult sized version. This includes the instant classic Black, White, Blue leather upper topped off with the Wings branding on the collar and the fragment design logo on the heel. It’s essentially the same thing, just in a pint-sized version. How much do you think these would go for on the resell market if these would ever see the light of day? Yea, the hype is real!

Perhaps the hottest and most anticipated non-OG colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High we’ve seen since the “Shattered Backboard” version, the “All-Star” colorway drops this weekend. Part of this year’s collection from Jordan Brand for the NBA All-Star festivities in New Orleans, the shoe features iridescent detailing in shades of teal and purple across the heel and toebox of the iconic silhouette, matched by more color-shifting material beneath the clear outsole.

Since they’re sure to move fast when they drop this Sunday, February 19th, we’ve complied a handy list of online retailers that will have them available. Good luck grabbing a pair Sunday morning before you settle in and watch the big game in the evening.

Things have been relatively quiet lately when it comes to the Air Jordan 11 as we await the arrival of the 11 Lows for the Spring and Summer. But this weekend at Sneaker Con in Fort Lauderdale there was a special Air Jordan 11 sighting.

Jordan Brand athlete and Paralympic sprinter April Holmes was in attendance and decided to stunt on everyone by wearing a hot pink pair of 11s. The shoe came in the usual ballistic nylon mesh construction along with the patent leather mudguard. White accents on the branding and midsole provided some contrast while a translucent pink outsole wrapped things up.

What are your thoughts on April Holmes’ PEs? Would you cop if they ever released?

Louis Vuitton Men’s Artistic Director Kim Jones has been a longtime disciple of streetwear, so it wasn’t too big of a surprise when LV teamed up with Supreme for their ridiculous capsule collection earlier this year. The fragment design x Air Jordan 1 has long-since been a favorite footwear option for the designer extraordinaire and Kim recently took to his Instagram account to showcase the coveted collab in toddler sizes. With the ridiculous sums people are willing to pay for toddler-sized Yeezy Boosts, it isn’t too hard to imagine how much this fragment design Air Jordan 1 would go for. It’s unlikely that these will release and are instead just a sample, but stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

As part of Jordan Brand’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection, the Air Jordan 7 will be debut in a new Pantone finish, which is similar to the AJ 9 Low that released last June 2016.

Essentially dressed in a vibrant two-tone colorway of university blue and white, this particular theme may perhaps be a homage to MJ?s alma mater as well ? University of North Carolina. With the defining hue covering its nubuck-based upper, a white Jumpman branding is evident on the ankle section, while metallic silver lace tips and a full-length white sole unit finishes off the simplistic profile.

Retailing for $190 (adult), the sneaker will be offered in GS sizing as well. Find it at select JB and Nike retailers starting April 29th.
