The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” was one of the best releases of 2016. It’s a shoe that’s credited with starting the modern sneaker industry as we know it today, and while Jordan Brand gave us all plenty of opportunities to purchase a pair, not everyone was able to land the coveted Banned Jordan 1s. That’s why the Air Jordan 1 Ultra Banned would be the perfect consolation prize for anyone looking to fill the void of having the classic black and red Air Jordan 1. Sure, it’s not a traditional look by any means with the woven ankle support, new slip-on neoprene ankle collar, and stitched on outline of the iconic Swoosh branding, but it’s interesting and available enough to consider.

The Air Jordan 1 Ultra Banned features a winterized wool upper with a Jacquard-like tooling on the toebox and heel while the traditional ‘Wings’ branding is stitched into place. Boot-like eyelets and rope laces add a winter-inspired takedown of the Air Jordan 1 Banned. Check out more images of this Air Jordan 1 Ultra Banned below and know that select retailers like Politics have this pair today. You can also find sizes on Nike.com.

We just went over an all-Red version of the Jordan Melo M13 Christmas. That shoe is available for purchase and will release on Jordan.com on January 1st. The Jordan Melo M13 Christmas PE you see above is the one Carmelo Anthony will probably be wearing during his NBA game on Christmas Day.

Unlike the pair releasing to the public, this colorway opts to stay away from the tonal look and instead come with a more traditional White, Red and Black color scheme. Remember, all these Christmas PE’s also pay homage to the Air Jordan 13 OG, which is the reason why they all come in the same color scheme. The majority of the shoe comes in Red and White, while the hits of Black are used on the Jumpman and outsoles. Which pair of the Melo M13 do you prefer more, this one or the all-Red pair? Check out Carmelo beating these up during his NBA game on Christmas day.

One model taking part in the collection is the Jordan Extra.Fly Christmas PE  you see above.

The Jordan Extra.Fly Christmas PE also dons a Red, White and Black color scheme, and as a way to pay respects the the retro, it also comes with the shoe’s OG hologram featured on the tongue.

What, you thought Jordan Brand would release their 2016 Christmas collection without featuring the Jordan CP3 X? Come on, man! Of course not.

Just like all the other PE colorways in the collection, this pair also comes in a White, Red and Black color scheme. White and Red takes care of most of the shoe, while the Black is only used for the Jumpman and part of the outsole. As a way to show its respect to the Jordan 13, it also comes with the iconic green AJXIII OG hologram featured on the tongue.

A few years back, Jordan Brand made a big splash in the lifestyle department with the Air Jordan 11-inspired Jordan Future silhouette. The combination of a seamless woven upper, asymmetrical lacing construction, and familiar icy outsole unit made the Jordan Future hard to pass up on. The Jumpman has since moved on to other endeavors, but now they’re bringing the blueprint back this winter for the Jordan Future Boot.

Today we get a first detailed look at the Jordan Future Boot, as the traditional icy Air Jordan 11 outsole stays intact with bolstered boot-like grooves to help you withstand the winter elements in style. The Cool Grey upper sees an interwoven Jacquard pattern with varying degrees of dark gey’s forming a near argyle pattern. Air Jordan 12-inspired lace eyelets mix with more traditional workboot elements while a leather tongue tab features embossed Jumpman branding. What do you think of the model? Stay tuned for more photos in the near future and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for more of the Jumpman’s retro schedule throughout the new year.
