The NBA’s Christmas Day Showcase is always something to look forward to during the holidays, and it also serves as the perfect opportunity for brands to get in on the Christmas Spirit with a number of noteworthy and festive player exclusives. This year, Jordan Brand will be providing their athletes with a number of PEs inspired by the Air Jordan 13 OG in White, Black, True Red, and Pearl Grey.

The iconic Air Jordan 13 offering is referenced throughout the Jordan Brand Christmas Collection with the XIII’s unique panther-eye inspired holographic branding arriving on the Jordan Melo M13, the Air Jordan 31, the Jordan CP3.X, and the Jordan Extra.Fly, each showcasing the feature on the tongue. The occasion is significant because it also marks the first time that Carmelo Anthony will debut his brand new signature model on-court this season. The Jordan Melo M13 will debut at retailers starting January 1st while the full roster of Jordan Brand athletes will be wearing these player exclusives on-court on Christmas Day.

Jordan Brand plans on bringing back a number of awesome colorways of the iconic Air Jordan 4 retro throughout 2017, and those of you hoping that the Air Jordan 4 Motorsports retro from 2006 (this time without the Mars Blackmon logo on the heel panel) would release in a full family size run, we have good news. Today we get a look at official images of the Air Jordan 4 “Motorsports” GS rendition as we can finally see the finer details of the sought after pair.

The heel construction doesn’t go back to the ‘Nike Air’ branding, but the high-contrast white and black based upper injects some vibrancy through Varsity Blue accents on the lining and midsole for a standout look. The Motorsports Jordan 4 will release at retailers on March 26th, 2017 with grade school sizes demanding $140 USD. The adult sizes will go for the regular $190. Check out more detailed shots below and be sure to head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for a better look at all of the coming Jumpman offerings.

We just came across another Michigan PE Air Jordan exclusive. This time around the model happens to be the Air Jordan 5. Michigan’s equipment Twitter account just shared just shared the images above and we’re pretty happy that they did.

This Air Jordan 5 Michigan PE comes in a nubuck Navy upper contrasted by the Maize hits placed on the shark teeth design on the midsole, Michigan branding on the side of the heel, and tongue. A tonal Navy midsole and icy translucent outsole round out the traits of the shoe. Get a good look at the shoe, but that’s all you’re going to do being that these don’t appear to be releasing to the public.

Taking the “Flight” theme that flies strong throughout the history of Jordan Brand, this winter the Air Jordan 15 Retro is reintroduced with the help of two flight jacket colorways of the Air Jordan 5 and Air Jordan 8. Build off the stealth fighter inspiration of the Air Jordan 15, which returns in its original black colorway with red accents from 1999, the Air Jordan 5 and Air Jordan 8 accompany it in the militaristic makeovers.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro takes cues from a P51 flight bomber jacket, featuring a premium Sequoia green nubuck upper with Vachetta Tan leather on the tongues and special “Flight” lace locks. Meanwhile, the Air Jordan 8 in its own Sequoia colorway also features hits of safety orange and incorporates neoprene into the upper’s construction for the first time.

The Air Jordan 15 Retro makes its debut on January 7th, while the Air Jordan 5 and Air Jordan 8 take flight on January 28th and February 11th, respectively.

Another Christmas surprise is coming from Jordan Brand in the form of an unexpected restock. The Air Jordan 1 NYC and Air Jordan 1 LA will be available exclusively at Footaction this Friday, December 23rd.

The Air Jordan 1 “NYC” features a unique premium suede and leather upper and was initially only available at Jordan Brand’s first flagship retail location, the Jordan Flight 23 store in New York City. Unique sewer crate insoles and a cement speckled midsole unit paid homage to the concrete jungle in a simple yet effective colorway while a smokey grey outsole unit allowed for the hints of Team Red to stand out throughout the pair.

The Air Jordan 1 “LA” took a different approach. The premium nearly all-white leather pair benefits from a Vachetta Tan lining for a relaxed lifestyle approach while a blue-tinted icy outsole paid homage to the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean on the coast of Los Angeles. Which Air Jordan 1 colorway do you plan on going after this Friday?

Check out more Air Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News, and know that you can grab each of these city-exclusive Air Jordan 1s this Friday at Footaction. If you can’t wait until then, look below for where to find each pair on eBay.

The luxe Air Jordan 11 Suede will mark an interesting break from tradition within Jordan Brand’s release strategy. There was a time not too long ago when December meant that was room for one (and only one) pair of Air Jordan 11s to dominate the holiday season. We’ve seen that shift lately with special packs like the Ultimate Gift Of Flight that paired a different 11 with the latest model in the series, but this month not only had the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam but a GS-exclusive Heiress colorway in consecutive weeks, but now a premium drop in the form of the Suede 11s.

This PRM designation also marks another break from tradition as it does away with the most famous feature of the shoe: the patent leather. Going with an all-suede upper gives the 11 a new and unfamiliar look that has divided the sneaker community with some welcoming the fresh take while others feel that this dilutes the model because it opens it up for other maybe less than desirable material makeups in the future.

But that discussion will be tabled for another time because what we really want to know is how does the suede material translate in NBA 2K17. The result? Looks like 2K Sports really likes that patent leather, or at least their code does.

In the game’s shoe editor you can easily create the Air Jordan 11 Suede. Since the upper is all-grey, it was just a matter of seeing whether or not we could actually bring the suede material into the actual court. And it almost works as you can see in the screenshots above, but because of how the Air Jordan 11 was probably scanned by 2K, the patent leather overlay had to stay regardless of what material you use. The final result is you can see the suede “skin” on the overlay but the shiny finish is retained, making it look like a grey version of the overlay found on the Air Jordan 11 72-10.

This one’s for the kids. If you yourself fit into GS sizes, or you’re looking to lace up your special kind with some new Jordans, take a look at the brand new Air Jordan 1 High GG True Berry. Out now, let’s see what this version of the Jordan 1 has to offer.

The Air Jordan 1 High GG True Berry is done in a full-grain leather upper done in Purple offset by the True Berry lace detailing noted on the toe, panels and collar. Purple laces and lining also appear on the shoe, while True Berry Jordan branding on the collar, heel and tongue give the shoe some additional nice pop. A White midsole and Black rubber outsole complete the look of the shoe. Priced at $95, pick up this GS colorway of the Jordan 1 from select Jordan Brand retailers.

Jordan Brand will be celebrating the upcoming 2017 Chinese New Year in a big way as they have three big released lined up for next month.

The 2017 Air Jordan Chinese New Year Collection consists of a men’s colorway of the Air Jordan 12, a GS colorway of the Air Jordan 12, and the Air Jordan 31.

Matching Jordan Brand Chinese New Year apparel will also be releasing alongside the sneakers.

When was the last time Jordan Brand dropped 3 different Air Jordan 11s in back-to-back-to-back weekends? First came the Space Jam, then the GS Heiress (Velvet), now we’ve got the premium Air Jordan 11 Suede on the way. If you’re a fan of the 11s, I feel sorry for your wallet, especially with this upcoming $400 Jordan 11 on the way.

The most expensive (retail price) Jordan 11 of all-time, the Air Jordan 11 Suede is the first pair of 11s labeled as “premium” or considered part of the Jordan Brand “pinnacle” collection. Keeping aesthetics at a minimum, Jordan Brand opts to go with a clean Grey suede upper sitting on top of a White midsole and milky translucent outsole. No branding on the heel or tongue on this pair since minimal is the name of the game on this release. It does come with quilted leather insoles, which is a nice premium touch to the shoe. It also appears to come with two Grey laces, one which happens to be done in leather. Releasing on December 23rd and retailing for $400, quantities are expected to be extremely limited. Are you adding these to your 11s collection?
