The Air Jordan 31 is the gift that keeps on giving as we just took a look at two upcoming colorways over the weekend.

Today we get a first look at another pair that is expected to release during All Star Weekend next year. 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 the 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 next year’s 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). Take a look at the official images above and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

One of the most expensive (secondary market) and most sought after Air Jordan sneakers of all-time is the Air Jordan 4 UNDFTD. Released back in 2005, people always wonder if Jordan Brand will give them the retro treatment.

At the moment it doesn’t seem very likely, so The Shoe Surgeon did the next best thing, he made his own. Above is his Air Jordan 4 UNDFTD custom which features a nubuck upper from London, ostrich heel tab, satin tongues with removable velcro tongues, and gator wings.

The Air Jordan 31 All-Star is expected to release in February with an MSRP of $200; check back on our ht page for the latest updates on 2017 Jordans and more.

You’ve seen the Air Jordan 31 in “Space Jam” and “Bred” colorways already, and now another classic color scheme from Air Jordan history hits the latest performance model. This time it’s the “Black Toe” colorway that gets re-interpreted onto the modern Air Jordan 31, which in this case we assume is meant to reference the Air Jordan 1, but could also make due as the “Black Toe” Air Jordan 14. The shoe features a black Flyweave toe that transitions to white leather at the heel, with red accents to complete the classic Bulls color palette and a translucent outsole below. No release date for the “Black Toe” Air Jordan 31 is available yet, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for further information if you like what you see.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro is back in a big way in 2017, and it’ll all be highlighted by this brand new colorway inspired by the mid-February classic. The Air Jordan 6 “All-Star” features an iridescent leather upper with hexagon Jumpman logos on the heel and insole – perhaps a nod to the Hornets, a franchise that was once located in New Orleans. As you know, the 2017 All-Star Game was originally scheduled to be held in Charlotte before the NBA made the decision to switch locations.

The Air Jordan 6 “All-Star” is confirmed to release on February 16th for $225 in both adult and kids sizes. Get a look at the official images ahead and look for these and several other new 2017 Jordans on our Jordan release dates calendar.

Following up on the release of the premium AJ 3 Wool, will be this kids-exclusive Air Jordan 3 to cap off the silhouette’s last iteration for 2016.

Draped in a bold, yet understated colorway of tonal black leather covering its upper, the defining element consists of rio teal accents gracing the inner lining, midsole unit and signature elephant print detailing prominent on the heel and toe cap.

Furthermore, the design is pronounced with gold accents gracing its Jumpman logos across the tongue and heel, as well as the lower eyelet. Finally, a clean white midsole and black rubber outsole caps off the bold design.

Priced at $140, you can purchase GS pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers now, although, availability at more retailers begins on Christmas Eve, December 24th.

Additionally, GP and GT sizes will be offered as well, and retail for $80 and $60 respectively.

This past weekend brought a number of updates to Jordan Brand’s 2017 release slate, and today we get a look at a brand new Air Jordan 31 colorway headed to retailers on March 10th, 2017. The Jumpman will round out their 2016 with a brand new Air Jordan 6 Black Cat colorway featuring a premium perforated leather construction with additional 3M reflective accents, and now the Air Jordan 31 Black Cat will follow suit in the new year.

The Air Jordan 31 is heavily influenced by the Air Jordan 1 as Swoosh branding returns on the Flyweave upper in a gradient, but here the Black and Anthracite base focuses more on the Jumpman branding. The overall silhouette shape resembles Mike’s first signature silhouette while a premium leather heel panel provides support while also allowing for a more lifestyle ready aesthetic than past Jumpman signature models. The Jordan 31 Black Cat benefits from premium leather heel tags with a unique panther logo embossed on the inner tag so there’s no doubt about the Black Cat nickname that accompanies this pair.

Be sure to head on over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at all of the coming 2017 attractions for the Jumpman and let us know if you’re excited about this new Air Jordan 31 colorway by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

The Air Jordan 6 is one of Michael Jordan’s more iconic retro models given the fact that it was the pair that MJ won his first championship. The Infrared colorways remain to be some of the most recognizable in the Jumpman catalog, but it’s also nice to see Jordan Brand experiment with the model like with the upcoming “Black Cat” colorway with additional 3M touches, micro-perforations, and more. This coming March 11, 2017, the brand will be taking a look back at the past with the release of the Air Jordan 6 “Alternate”, an homage to an early production sample that Mike could’ve worn during the 1991 playoff run.

Much like the Air Jordan 4 “Alternate” that released not too long ago, this pair features an alternate colorway construction featuring White, Pure Platinum accents, and a Gym Red finish for a decidedly different take on the classic “Chicago” theme. ‘1991’ stitching hits the inner tongue while Jordan Brand decided to skip over the additional icy blue tint on the outsole much like they did for the Air Jordan 6 Maroon. Today we also get news that this upcoming colorway will be available in grade school sizes in addition to the usual adult size run. What do you think of the look?

Be sure to head over to our always-updated Air Jordan Release Dates page for a full look at the coming Jumpman retro release slate for 2017 and let us know if you’re a fan of this Alternate Jordan 6 pair by taking your thoughts to our comments section below.

The classic Air Jordan 8 will be treated in Jordan Brand’s alternate iteration next year, as this particular pair is 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 an appealing 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. A graphic inner liner and ?1993? on the pull tabs completes the respective design.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase this standout pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting February 25, 2017.

The Air Jordan 6 will be a standout offering to kick off Jordan Brand’s lineup for 2017, as another GS-exclusive colorway is unveiled to follow on the previously showcased hyper pink, heiress and pantone variations.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Motorsports edition with its classic black and white color scheme, this particular iteration is pronounced with hyper jade accents gracing the Jumpman logo on the tongue, lace locks, insole and outsole. Finally, an icy translucent sole rounds out the simplistic profile.

With its suggested retail price listed at $140, you can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting in January 2017.
