A variety of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air series has been showcased as of late, as it’ll kick off 2017 with this vibrant Max Orange iteration.

Exuding a shattered backboard-inspired color scheme, the model flaunts the eye-catching max orange across the majority of its smooth and tumbled leather construction. Black and white accents are prominent throughout to solidify its overall upper, while it all rests atop a full-length white midsole unit and orange outsole.

Notable design elements include ?Air Jordan? branding on the ankle section in place of the Wings logo, in addition to ?Nike Air? embroidered across its heels.

Retailing for $140, this pair is suggested to debut at select JB and Nike stockists on January 7, 2017.

This colorway is pretty appealing in general. I like it more with the wings logo overall, but, this revision isn?t that bad looking.

Detailed imagery of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Fragment Royal is unveiled, which consists as another original-inspired colorway for the 2017 Rare Air series.

Utilizing themes from the ?fragment design? and ?Royal? Air Jordan 1s — this variation dons a mixed color scheme, although, dominated by a combination of black, black and white throughout.

Comprised of smooth and tumbled leather, another defining element is evidenced with ?AIR JORDAN? lettering on the collar instead of the iconic wings logo, and ?Nike Air? embroidered across the heels.

Priced at $140, this standout pair is slated to release at select Nike and JB stockists sometime during early 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

I would?ve preferred it in the OG Royal theme instead, but, this variation isn?t that bad either. The combined colorways isn’t a bad look and this should be sought after when it releases.

More new detailed imagery of the forthcoming Air Jordan 4 Motorsport continue to surface online, as it’s certainly one of the most notable releases set for next year.

Simply an alternate variation of the AJ 4 Mars that debuted back in 2006, this model is essentially one of the most coveted variations of the classic basketball sneaker. Premium white leather dominates its construction, while royal blue accents that commemorates MJ?s Motorsports team are prominent across its entirety.

Pops of black grace the midsole, heel and lacing apparatus along its collar section to round out its distinctive palette, as notably absent is the Mars Blackmon branding across the heel.

Priced at $190, this pair is suggested to debut at select Nike and JB stockists starting March 26, 2017.

I?ll always be an advocate for this silhouette. I?ve been a fan of the colorway since its introduction and it?s nice to see that it?ll finally be released.

The premium Air Jordan 12 Wool released this past October, and recently, the Oregon Ducks were presented with their very own PE pairs.

Essentially similar to the recent general pair with a woolen and leather construction, this player exclusive edition is punctuated by the application of the Ducks logo embroidered across the tongue. In addition, the sneaker holds more value as it also incorporates Tinker Hatfield’s signature on the inner back pull tab.

Unfortunately, this model will not be offered to the public.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the revamped makeover and this iteration is simply more of a collector’s piece, especially with Tinker’s signature. Another cool PE in my opinion.

A premium lifestyle rendition of the iconic Air Jordan 3 will be offered soon for ones of its last iterations this year.

Intended to suit the colder season, the basketball sneaker is defined by a cohesive textile fiber construction covering its upper, which enables more thermal insulation throughout. A sail white rubber sole unit further complements and caps off the classic, yet simple two-tone design. Notable details include Jumpman embroideries on the heel and tongue.

Retailing for $200, you can buy this pair at select JB and Nike stockists starting Saturday, December 17th.

I?m all for applying new materials on classic JB silhouettes. This pair doesn?t look that bad. Maybe I?m just biased but, the colorway is versatile and it?ll be suitable for the colder weather.

Following the release of the AJ 3 Wool, will be this kids exclusive Air Jordan 3 GS treated in rio teal.

Flaunting an understated colorway with tonal black leather covering its upper, the defining element consists of teal accents gracing the inner lining, midsole and signature elephant print detailing prominent on the heel and toe cap.

Additionally, gold accents are utilized for the Jumpman logos across the tongue and heel, as well as the lower eyelets for additional vibrance. Finally, a clean white midsole and black rubber outsole caps off the bold design.

I don?t think the colorway is that bad, but, I?m not too keen on this variation of the silhouette. It?s a cool option for the kids though.

Not only is the Air Jordan 15 Stealth releasing in January, but come Spring Jordan Brand will also be bringing back the Air Jordan 15 Obsidian 17 years after it’s original release date.

Rocking the OG Obsidian, White and Metallic Silver color scheme. The Jordan 15 definitley has a very unique look. It comes constructed out of a leather and woven leather upper. The woven hits are found on the paneling, which is one of the main reasons the shoe has a very distinct look. White detailing is found on the inner sleeve, rubber heel, laces, lining and parts of the sole. Metallic Silver lace tips add a nice touch to the shoe. No official release date yet, but expect these to be priced at $190 and release sometime during the Spring of 2017. Looking forward to this release? Let us know in the comments below.

You knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time before a Chicago colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Rare popped up. What you see above are the first images of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Chicago.

Sans the change of branding, the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Chicago is essentially the same exact shoe as the Air Jordan 1 Chicago. I guess you can say it has a little bit of retro and OG feel to them since Jumpman branding appears on the tongue, while Nike Air branding can be seen in tonal embroidered fashion on the heel. Another new branding hit is the decision to remove the Wings logo from the ankle and replace it with “AIR JORDAN” branding. Just like the Chicago 1s, this version also comes with a White midsole and Red outsole. Priced at $140, expect these to release early 2017.

Author’s Take

The Chicago 1 is an amazing shoe. I have the low-top Chicago 1s and I have a retro high-top version with the Jumpman on the tongue. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get my hands on the OG Nike Air branded pair that dropped not too long ago. Although I’m not saying this could be a replacement for that pair, I’m not against owning this pair. The color blocking is the best and in my eyes it’s just another version of the Jordan 1 Chicago. I wouldn’t mind having it in my collection. I might just cop. I can definitely see people sleeping on these.

The shoe that Michael Jordan captured his first ever NBA Championship in, the Air Jordan 6, will be releasing in at least a couple of new colorways next year.

Believed to be one of Jordan Brand’s All Star Weekend releases for 2017, this Air Jordan 6 is being known as the Chameleon colorway due to the color-changing capabilities that are seen on the upper. Covered in an iridescent leather upper, this Air Jordan 6 gets hit with Black on the tongue, laces, inner liner, heel tab, midsole, and outsole. Additional iridescent detailing can be seen on the lace aglets with 3M accents on the upper capping things off.

The Air Jordan 6 Chameleon/All Star is scheduled to release on February 17, 2017 for a retail price of $225. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 6 Chameleon launch page now for more images, the latest information and release details.

Wait, why is this shoe $225? I hope that price changes once we get closer to the release date because if it doesn’t you can expect it to sit on shelves.

Space Jams have landed on Earth and the Heiress/Suede are still on deck this month. Still, this doesn’t stop the rumor mill from pumping out information regarding what’s to come from Jordan Brand in 2017. Although photos haven’t surfaced, an Air Jordan 11 in White/Midnight Navy/University Blue with a product code have been revealed, with a release likely to come during the Holiday 2017 season. Air Jordan 11s during the winter time aren’t a new tradition, but with all the OG colorways already come and gone, it makes sense for Jordan Brand to dabble outside of the original run once again and perhaps dip into the archive of unreleased samples, like the two navy-based Air Jordan 11 samples pictured below. Obviously it’s too early to take this information as fact, but what are your thoughts on this potential release? Stay tuned for updates and in the meantime, check our Jordan Release Dates page to see what’s confirmed for 2017.

The post Air Jordan 11 “Midnight Navy” Rumored To Release During Holiday 2017 Season appeared first on Sneaker News.

We gave you an initial look yesterday, todya we have a whole set of new images of the upcoming Black and White colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air.

What exactly is the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air? Think of it as an alternative version of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air. The construction and design is basically the same. The difference lies on the style of branding the shoe comes with. This version of the Jordan 1 comes in the same Black and White color blocking on the leather upper as the OG Jordan 1 Black/White. The branding opts to come with “AIR JORDAN” on the ankle instead of your traditional Wings logo. A Jumpman is placed on the tongue instead of Nike Air, but Nike Air is present in tonal fashion as it can be seen embroidered on the heel. Is this a good alternative just in case you don’t have the OG pair? Are you a fan of the shoe? Or is this an easy pass? Expect these to drop early 2017 for the retail price of $140.

They?re cool, but I think they?d get more attention had Jordan Brand decided to put some Nike Air branding on the tongue.

Russell Westbrook is considered by many the current the face of Jordan Brand as the man is literally a walking triple double machine. Being part of Jordan Brand grants you the opportunity to have some pretty dope PEs to your name, and Russ has a few.

His most popular and impressive pairs are arguably his OKC Jordan 3s. Up above we get a closer look at both the Home and Away pairs which feature a white and black leather upper, respectively, with orange blue, and yellow accents to complete the OKC color scheme.

Which pair would you rather own? See them both above and chime in with your opinion in the comments below.

Having come off the possibly the biggest Jordan Brand release of the year this past weekend with the Space Jam 11s, we now take a closer look at pair of 11s that will be releasing next year.

This new low top colorway of the Jordan 11 is currently being known as the “Barons” colorway and is unofficially named after the minor league baseball team that Michael Jordan once played for. The shoe comes covered in a Black nubuck upper instead of the traditional mesh with a dark grey patent leather mudguard. Other details include Metallic Silver branding, a White midsole, and a translucent icy outsole.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Barons is currently expected to release some time in April of 2017 for a retail price of $175. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Author’s Take

I’m a bigger fan of the mid/high Jordan 11, but this colorway looks pretty clean. The new color on the patent leather is great as well as the nubuck on the upper.

This Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is not like the others. Releasing this Spring 2017 season, this Air Jordan 1 features all the fixins of your classic AJ1, only with perforated heel panels and swooshes as well as a stamped leather tongue label (opposed to the classic embroidered ones) and debossed Wings logo on the collar. Just like the “Premium Essentials” Air Jordan 1s that dropped in August, these are likely meant to be an “everyday” option like the Air Force 1. A firm release date is coming soon, but expect these early next year; check back on our Jordan Release Dates page for the latest.

Jordan Brand has yet to officially unveil the Jordan Melo M13, but we’ve already seen a couple of colorways of the sneaker thanks to leaks.

We now add another colorway to the lineup with this navy blue pair that we see above. The thing that stands out the most about the Melo M13 is the textured upper that has a 3D look and feel to it. Silver accents then land on the branding on the Jumpman on the ankle while a light blue outsole wraps things up.

What are your early thoughts on the Melo M13? Take a look at the latest colorway and leave your comments down below.

Can’t really say I’m feeling it. I do think it looks better than the M12, but I’m not so sure that I would buy a pair.
