For all you GS-footers out there, the Air Jordan 3 GS Rio Teal is not a colorway you should be sleeping on. If you haven’t picked up an Air Jordan 3 since it made its return earlier this year, this could be a good one to start with. Releasing this weekend, here’s another look at this upcoming drop.

The shoe starts off with a Black leather upper. The tonal look is quickly broken up by the hits of Rio Teal on the midsole, lining and elephant print, and the Gold accents noted on the Jumpman branding noted on the tongue and heel. Additional features include the Black laces, White midsole and Black rubber outsole. Releasing on December 24th for $140, are you adding these to your weekly rotation?

A few days ago we gave you a first look at the Jordan Eclipse Chukka. This new Jordan Brand lifestyle model took the Eclipse and transformed it into a Chukka-style sneaker. We let you know that the model would be making its debut in the neat future. Well, we didn’t have to wait that long since we just came across this readily available Jordan Eclipse Chukka Light Bone.

Done in a Light Bone colorway, the Jordan Eclipse Chukka ss constructed out of a woven textile upper accompanied by the neoprene used to create the tongue. Below you will find a foam and Air-cushioned sole unit done in the same tonal fashion. Branding hits appear on the tongue pull tab as well as on the heel. Thoughts on this new lifestyle model? If you like it, you can now pick up a pair at select retailers for $130.

The team made a big splash in the NCAA this year and will be competing in the Orange Bowl against the Florida State Seminoles on December 30th. Jordan Brand made sure that the team was ready to go by gifting the roster this Air Jordan 5 Michigan PE featuring a navy upper with varsity maize accents throughout.

Michigan’s signature ‘M’ logo is featured on the heel to match the tongue, yellow midsole shark teeth and icy outsole. What do you think of the look?

Michael Jordan’s return to basketball as a Washington Wizard might be the more forgotten part of His Airness’s storybook career, but Jordan Brand has been dropping retro releases honoring his time in the nation’s capital for quite some time now. This weekend, we’ll be treated to the Air Jordan 16 “Midnight Navy”, a colorway straight from the D.C. archives featuring a premium white tumbled leather upper with a matching shroud overlay while iridescent qualities hit the Midnight Navy patent leather toe and tongue. Today we have some good news, too: you can now buy the Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy through Nike’s Early Access program.

The Air Jordan 16 was inspired by Mike’s obsession with another sport – golf. The outsole design mimics that of a gold green, but don’t be fooled – the Air Jordan 16 is a serious performance model. The shroud also sports contrast blue stitching while a silver quilted pattern adds some depth. An icy outsole and woven navy heel panel make for one of the more interesting Jordan retros in quite some time.

Are you a fan of the Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy? Check out more detailed photos of the latest Air Jordan 16 offering below and know that you can find this pair on Nike.com. Find out where else you can buy this pair after the break.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I like the iridescent finish. This blacked-out profile is always a crowd favorite and versatile. Even though it?s simple, this should garner a lot of attention.
