Following up the highly coveted Air Jordan 14 PE for the Oregon Ducks in grey from last season, this year’s squad also gets blessed with their own edition of the Duck-covered sneakers. Actually just like the version given to the Oregon track team last summer, the basketball team receives the unique Air Jordan 14 with The Duck mascot embossed across the upper in an olive green hue. Of course, the tongue tags on the track team’s version that say “TRACK” are simply replaced with “B.BALL” for this latest PE for Oregon’s basketball team. Check out an official look at the shoe directly from the University of Oregon’s Twitter account here, and although these will more thank likely remain a PE exclusive to the team, we’ll let you know if they ever hit retail.

It might not seem obvious at first, but Jordan Brand athletes Kawhi Leonard and Michael Finley have a lot more in common than you think. While both were drafted with little fanfare in the middle of the first round of their respective years (Leonard went 15th overall in 2011, Finley was 21st in 1995), Leonard and Finley would make an immediate impact on their teams, garnering plenty of Rookie Of The Year votes and earning spots on the All-Rookie First Team. They shared the spotlight with higher profile teammates (Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili for Leonard while Finley was part of his own Big 3 with Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash) but they were also All-Stars in their own right and won NBA Championships with the San Antonio Spurs at different points in the dynasty.

Leonard and Finley have also made quite a mark during their time as Jordan Brand athletes. Finley was one of the first players to sign up to Nike offshoot during his prime years in the late 1990s and early 2000s and Leonard is a standard bearer now for the Jumpman. And when you’re a star for Jordan Brand, you get your hands on player exclusives that would made any sneakerhead cry.

Within the span of a week, both Leonard and Finley made sneaker headlines with Air Jordan 11 Gold PEs. Turns out Ray Allen wasn’t the only cool kid in Jordan Brand with gold 11s. Leonard turned heads on Christmas Day after the Spurs beat the Chicago Bulls with a metallic gold 11 and Finley showed off a similar pair but with a gold midsole and red translucent as an homage to his alma mater of Wisconsin. So for fun, we compared what their kicks would look like on the court in NBA 2K17. The results were not as great as we had hoped. Its starts out fine in the shoe editor, a little darker than we hoped but still workable, sometimes the shoe looks different in the editor and in the final product on the court.

But then we play Leonard’s Spurs against Finley’s 2002 Dallas Mavericks and their kicks look uh, different. On the plus side, Don C now knows what a “Beach” Air Jordan 11 looks like, I guess?

Air Jordan 4 enthusiasts, we’ve got good news for you! We just came across a brand new colorway of the model and we’ve first images to share with you. Let’s get a closer look.

The new colorway of the Air Jordan 4 comes with a Black leather upper accompanied by even more Black in places such as the netting/underlay and laces. Adding contrast to the shoe are the Grey hits noted on the honeycomb eyelets, lining and parts of the sole, as well as the Royal Blue hits placed on the branding and inside of the tongue. Features worth mentioning are the fact that both the heel tabs and wings on the paneling are both done in leather construction, resulting in more of a premium feel to the shoe. No concrete release date is available yet, but according to DJ Folk on Twitter, you can expect this Air Jordan 4 to release sometime in the month of May. Thoughts on the new Air Jordan 4 colorway? Clean or too plain?

Jordan Brand’s 2016 was highlighted by a number of notable retro returns, a dedication to quality craftsmanship through their premium Pinnacle Series, and an ever-widening array of silhouettes featuring original ‘Nike Air’ branding. So what’s in store for the Jumpman’s 2017 catalog? While we already know a number of retro releases from January-March, perhaps one of the most anticipated drops will be this Air Jordan 4 Motorsports slated to release on March 26th in both adult and youth size runs.

The Air Jordan 4 Motorsports was originally released in 2006 as an homage to Michael Jordan Motorsports, a post-retirement competitive endeavor that saw Michael Jordan managing a motorcycle racing team. The original offering featured a Mars Blackmon logo on the heel panel for a nice added feature, but 2017’s retro skips out on that feature for a more general release vibe. Instead, we get a clean white leather base with Varsity Blue accents on the midsole, inner lining, and branding throughout. A stark contrast of black hits the heel with for a simple look that anybody can get behind. What do you think of the Jordan 4 Motorsports 2017 retro?

Check out more detailed shots of the upcoming Air Jordan 4 “Motorsports” retro below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at all of the coming Jumpman attractions for 2017.

Kawhi Leonard felt like breaking some necks on Christmas day when he decided to bring out his Gold pair of Air Jordan 11s. Looking to outshine one Leonard is former NBA player and Jordan Brand athlete Michael Finley.

Michael Finley recently received a special edition of the Air Jordan 11 for the Cotton Bowl that has the silhouette come in a Gold upper sitting on top of a Red sole unit. Said to be a player exclusive, it’s easy to see that the Red translucent sole unit gives the shoe additional pop that the pair Leonard wore just doesn’t have. At the end of the day, it all comes down to preference. Which pair of 11s do you like more? These or Kawhis?
