Fittingly named the Air Jordan 31 All Star, this colorway takes inspiration from the city that was supposed to host the 2017 All Star Weekend, Charlotte. As many of you may know, Michael Jordan is the majority owner of the Hornets so that’s where the connection with the brand and team comes from.

This Jordan 31 features a black Flyweave upper in a honeycomb texture with iridescent detailing on the midsole, Swoosh, and ankle area. Hornets logos can also be seen on the inner tongues which means that this Jordan 31 may have been designed with the idea that Charlotte would be hosting the 2017 All Star festivities.

The Air Jordan 31 All Star is scheduled to release some time in February of 2017 (most likely during All Star Weekend). Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I had this pair back then, alongside the varsity red version. I’m not really into the silhouette in low-top form, but, it’s pretty desirable in a few colorways such as this one, in my view.

Release Date: March 11, 2017
Price: $190 (Adult)

While previous rumors suggested this model to be the Air Jordan 6 Hare, this latest variation of the basketball silhouette is actually an extension of Jordan Brand‘s “Alternate” color scheme for 2017.

Somewhat of a hybrid maroon rendition as well, the sneaker pays homage to the Chicago Bulls’ signature tones with white, pure platinum and gym red accents covering its entire upper. This iteration is also the pair that MJ would’ve donned during the 1991 Playoffs, as the year ?1991? is evidenced on the tongues. Finally, translucent outsoles finish off the design.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: Even though it’s been confused with the Hare or Maroon colorways, it’s still another appealing iteration. I’m just biased in general. Although, this model should be one of the more desired options from JB’s 2017 lineup.

In addition to the Air Jordan 8 Take Flight, the classic Air Jordan 8 will be treated in Jordan Brand’s alternate iteration as well this year, with this particular pair reflective of the original Bugs Bunny theme.

Essentially a tribute to an unreleased variation which didn’t make it into production when the Bugs Bunny pair released in 1993, the silhouette is dressed in a Chicago Bulls’-inspired color scheme of white, black and red.

White leather with perforations covers its upper, while contrasting red and black accents are scattered throughout its entirety. Finally, a graphic inner liner and ?1993? on the pull tabs completes the respective design.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I’m a fan of this new alternate color scheme in general. Although I would’ve preferred the revival of the actual Bugs Bunny colorway, this variation is still another appealing option that will surely garner the attention it deserves.

In addition to two variations of the Air Jordan 12, the Jordan Brand CNY (Chinese New Year) pack will also include a new rendition of the Air Jordan 31.

Noted to honor the 20th anniversary of JB?s stance in the Chinese market as well, the basketball sneaker dons a simplistic color scheme of black and white in a gradient effect, throughout its flyweave and synthetic leather upper.

Cool grey accents are utilized for the enlarged Jumpman branding and inner lining, while real bamboo wood detailing is evident the heel. In addition, the translucent outsole bears a distinctive interwoven graphic to further coordinate with its respective theme, as special Chinese symbols also adorn the inner tongue.

This model will initially debut in China first starting January 7th, while a U.S. release is scheduled to follow on January 28th ? Chinese New Year.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: The extra price tag is from the actual utilization of real bamboo, and overall, it’s another cool execution that pays homage to the holiday/culture. The overall colorway is pretty versatile and classic as well.

Following reports of the Chutney pair making a return, reputable sneaker info leaker, DJ Folk, has also provided insight that the Air Jordan 13 Flint will be offered this year as well.

A confirmed release date has yet to be revealed, although, rumors suggest that it’s slated for the 2017 Labor Day Weekend (Saturday, September 2).

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I’ve owned the previous retros and it’s certainly one of my favorite colorways of the sneaker. It’s cool to see it coming back once again, hopefully with 3M detailing this time.

SHOP: Air Jordan 15 Obsidian

The Air Jordan 15 Obsidian initially released back in 2000. Seventeen years later, Jordan Brand has decided to bring back the shoe once more. The retro appears to mimic the look and feel of the original pair as it comes with an  obsidian, white and metallic silver color scheme. The shoe’s most notable feature is the woven leather upper placed alongside a mixture of leather. Adding contrast to the shoe is the white placed on the inner sleeve, heel, tongue and frontal portion of the outsole to cap off its overall profile. Finishing touches include white laces and metallic silver lace tips. No release date just yet, but look for these to drop this upcoming Spring season.

SHOP: Air Jordan 31 Black Cat

Back in November, Jordan Brand decided to release a premium version of the Air Jordan 31 dubbed the Black Cat. The shoe was done in a nice suede and quilted leather upper. Well, it looks like another Black Cat version of the Air Jordan 31 is on the way but this one is done in the model’s normal construction.

Once again, opting to keep things tonal, the Air Jordan 31 Black Cat is done in a Black and Anthracite upper constructed of the the usual Flyweave on the front and leather on the back. Creating minimal contrast is the White noted on both the Flywire and outsole. This version of the Black does come with the Jumpman on the heel, while the leather tongue tag and gradient Swoosh on the panels are also intact. As of right now, the shoe is scheduled to release on March 10th for $185. What are your first thoughts on the Air Jordan 31 Black Cat?

SHOP: Air Jordan 11 Low Barons

Jordan Brand will be releasing classic colorways along with new ones of the Air Jordan 11 Low this Spring/Summer season. One of those new colorways is the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons. This version of the Air Jordan 11 Low comes with a color scheme consisting of a Black nubuck upper accented by the Ash Grey patent leather placed on the toe and mudguard. Adding more of a premium feel to the shoe is the Black leather placed on the heels. A White midsole, milky translucent outsole and Metallic Silver branding complete the look. Just in case you didn’t know where the nickname “Barons” came from, it’s a nod to the to the Birmingham Barons (the minor league team baseball team that Micheal Jordan played for during his short stint with the sport). Thoughts on this nubuck-based Air Jordan 11 Low?

Author’s Take

Juan Carrillo, News: I like the fact that the uppers is made out of nubuck instead of the customary mesh construction. The iridescent patent leather is also new look. But for some reason I still feel like the shoe is a bit too plain. Lowkey, it appears to be a low top version of the Air Jordan 11 72-10.

Jordan Brand and Michael Jordan have an interesting history with the Orlando Magic. It was the last team to ever beat MJ and the Bulls in the playoffs during their run of 6 championships, but plenty of Orlando-esque colorways have hit Jordan retros. His Airness even rocked a Penny signature model in a game when his Air Jordan 11s didn’t meet league protocol. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a number of players on the Magic’s roster have ties to Jordan Brand either, as Jeff Green and Bismack Biyombo recently laced up 2 new Air Jordan 31 Orlando Magic PEs in a game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Bismack opted for the above pictured black on black pair with a vibrant touch of royal on the Jumpman, Dynamic Flywire,a nd heel gradient. While that selection more readily ties into the ‘Away’ theme, Jeff Green decided to go a different route and lace up a white-on-white look that hid any slight signs of Swoosh side panel branding. Which pair do you prefer? Stay tuned for more Air Jordan 31 PEs on the feet of Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and more Jordan Brand athletes right here on Sneaker News.

Last week we saw Andre Johnson break out some incredible Miami-themed Jordan 11s in support of the football team, but Michael Finley may have those green/orange PEs beat. Finley had some strong Air Jordan PEs during his playing days, but his best player exclusive yet comes in the form of this Metallic Gold Air Jordan 11 complete with a matching gold midsole and vibrant red outsole for a splash of Badger pride. What makes this even better for the him is that the Badgers defeated Western Michigan in the Cotton Bowl to close out a successful year for the Badgers football squad. Hopefully we’ll get a better look at this Air Jordan 11 Gold exclusively for Michael Finley in the future, but in the meantime, check out his original tweet below.
