In addition to the AJ 9 Kobe, this GS-exclusive iteration of the Air Jordan 12 will be offered at retailers as well starting this weekend.

Doused in an understated palette of light grey and wolf grey tones across its premium tumbled leather upper and rubber sole unit, the defining pink hue is evident on the branded miniature side panels, tongue, heel section and outsole, which adds vibrance to its simplistic profile.

Priced at $140, you can purchase this grade school pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand stockists starting tomorrow, Saturday, November 19th.

The overall color scheme is nice and the hits of pink are a nice touch of contrast, especially for the ladies. I like how it?s kept minimal overall.

One of the more notable Jordan releases this season consists of a remastered iteration of the OG Air Jordan 3 True Blue.

Last seen in 2011, the basketball sneaker stays true to its original design ethos with white tumbled leather covering the majority of its upper, while the signature cement grey paneling is prominent on the eye stays, heel and toe cap.

True Blue accents grace the midsole unit and inner lining, as pops of red adorn the outsole, tongue and eyelets to round out its classic color scheme. Finally, ?Nike Air? branding is evident on the insoles and back heel tab to round out its notable details.

Offered in full family sizing, adult (mens) sizes are listed at $220, while GS, PS and Toddler sizes will retail for $160, $80 and $60 respectively.

You can purchase a pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting Black Friday, November 25th.

This upcoming Air Jordan 9 holds a special value, as it commemorates Kobe Bryant?s historic 20-year career in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Essentially dressed in the team?s respective palette, white leather is utilized for its upper while contrasting purple adorns the patent leather overlays and throughout the rear. Finally, bright yellow hits are prominent for the branding across its tongue tab, mini Jumpman logos, as well as the number ?23? and circular globe badge on the heel.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase it at select Jordan Brand and Nike retailers starting tomorrow, Saturday, November 19.

I really like this sneaker in olive/black, but, this colorway is pretty solid too. It?s a nice gesture and solid tribute. I?m sure a lot of fans will be pleased.

Yes you read that right, the Air Jordan 1 Royal is back. Well, kind of. The Air Jordan 1 is releasing soon in the OG Royal colorway but with a completely new look. This is actually the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High which made its debut earlier this year and will also be releasing in a Space Jam colorway next month.

This modified version of the classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette does away with the traditional leather upper and replaces with a lighter textile material. The shoe comes in the same color blocking as the OG Royal 1s and also features a new extended ankle collar. A white midsole and Sport Royal outsole finish things off.

Take a look at the official images of the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Royal above and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for release updates.

It’s actually not that bad, but I would much rather have a pair of the original leather Royals. Hopefully next year I’m able to.

Michael Jordan’s jeans have been a cultural phenomenon thanks to the oversized fit and frequent appearance of ripped and torn selvage denim. MJ’s own kids even referenced their dad’s signature off-court style with the Air Jordan 1 “Family Forever” from a few years back. Today we get a look at a rare Air Jordan 1 sample featuring a ripped light denim exterior complete with Pinnacle-esque Metallic Gold branding on the updated ‘Wings’ pendant branding.

The latest Air Jordan 1 Ripped Denim Sample comes complete with frayed piping to further the whole aesthetic while contrast stitching hits the midsole in an effort to pay homage to light wash jeans. Jordan Brand employees have actually been spotted wearing this rare sample at past events, so we know that they’ve legitimately been produced by the brand sometime in the past couple of years. Whether this Air Jordan 1 will actually make it to store shelves in the future remains to be seen, but what do you think of the look? Check out a better view below and stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

If this Air Jordan 3 doesn’t look familiar to you that’s because it’s one of the rarest sneakers in existence.

This unique Air Jordan 3 was actually designed by Mark Smith from Nike. The shoe features a lasered design all throughout the upper that immediately catches your eye. Not only that, but this is also a low top version of the Air Jordan 3 and it sits atop a Nike Dunk sole. As you can see, this Jordan 3 is also missing the signature elephant print on the toe and heel which has been replaced by more laser detailing.

Take a look at a couple of images above and hit the comments below to give us your thoughts. Are you a fan? Should Jordan Brand release a low top version of the Air Jordan 3?

The Jordan 3 True Blue is back! By now, you’ve known for awhile that Jordan Brand’s Black Friday release slate revolves around the True Blue 3s, but just in case you wanted a detailed look at what the classic “Nike Air’ branding will look like when mixed with a remastered tumbled leather upper, classic Cement Elephant Print, and touches of red throughout, we have some official Nike images for you.

It’s been over five years since we last saw the Air Jordan 3 True Blue release at retailers, and since then a whole lot has changed regarding the Jordan retro landscape. Jordan Brand even put the Air Jordan 3 model into the vaults after a bit of oversaturation plagued the release slate in past years. You don’t even have to worry about the availability of the Air Jordan 3 True Blue either, as retailers like Foot Locker have already made it known that the retro pair will be as widespread a release as possible (you can check out their Launch Locator here).

Are you excited about the return of the True Blue 3s? Check out more detailed shots below and head over to our Jordan release dates page for an updated look at all of the Jumpman’s Holiday 2016 plans.

Leave it to Jordan Brand to get one over on us yet again. In a world where nicknames stick to sneakers even when they make absolutely no sense (remember the Air Jordan 5 Space Jam?), Jordan Brand overcame that convention when they recently unveiled their Space Jam collection and rebranded the OG colorway of the Air Jordan 9 – a pair Michael Jordan wore in the movie – as an official sneaker from the film. What was once a December release that had maybe a few people excited has now become a full-blown craze. And all it took was an official co-sign to get us to accept it.

But what about the other classic Air Jordan that not only popped up in the movie but made history by taking part in The Ultimate Game? Those Js were worn by national treasure and arguably the coolest sports fan on the planet not named Jack Nicholson in Bill Murray. How the hell are we going to sit here and call the Air Jordan 9 a Space Jam sneaker and not acknowledge that Bill F***in’ Murray wore Jordans in Space Jam too?

I’ll admit it, the Air Jordan 2 are far from my favorite pair of Jordans. Actually, they’re in my bottom five right next to abominations like the Air Jordan XX2 and the Air Jordan 13. And yes, there was an Air Jordan 2 Chicago retro that dropped earlier this year, but those are the Lows and nobody cares about those (they’re on sale in most stores for $99 and they’re still sitting). I recognize greatness when I see it so I think we all need to do the right thing and convince Jordan Brand to retro the real Air Jordan 2 Chicago and add it to the Space Jam collection. The late addition even works with the plot of the film as Murray made a last second save to fill out the Tune Squad’s roster. It’s the right thing to do for a man who played a key role in helping us beat the Monstars.

Note: The Air Jordan 10 Shadow also made a quick “if you blinked you missed it” cameo in the movie, but priorities, people. If the Cubs can win the World Series, we can get an Air Jordan named after Bill Murray. I’ll settle for either this or the adidas Team Zissous, dammit.

Jordan Brand introduced a brand new Air Jordan 1 model to coincide with the Holiday 2016 season in the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High. Not only did the Jumpman bolster the offering with a new wool construction, but a weatherized aesthetic is complimented by a new neoprene slip-on ankle collar that extends even higher than before to add a new-aged comfort that helps protect your feet from the elements. Now we get word that the first Space Jam Jordan release is available this season with the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High now ready for purchase from select spots.

The Space Jam Jordan 1 Ultra High features a unique patent leather mudguard to pay homage to the Space Jam 11s. Concord purple piping hits the Swoosh branding and classic ‘Wings’ branding while a traditional Air Jordan 1 midsole and outsole unit shines thanks to an icy finish.

Check out the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High “Royal” colorway here and grab this Space Jam-inspired colorway today from select spots like Oneness for $150 USD.

Jordan Brand surprised everyone when they announced they’d be doing their own original take on the patented “What The” look with the release of the Air Jordan 1 “Top 3” on November 28th, 2016 featuring mismatched panels paying tribute to the Banned, Royal, and Chicago colorways of Mike’s first signature model.

We were lucky enough to have a staff member who has been collecting original Air Jordan 1 colorways from the 1985 release slate for quite some time, so we had him bring in the Air Jordan 1 Banned, the Air Jordan 1 Chicago, and the Air Jordan 1 Royal each in OG form to compare to the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Top 3.

We’re only a few weeks out from the Space Jam 11s finally arriving at retail shelves on December 10th, 2016. So how are you going to get a pair?

You can expect the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam to be one of the most sought after offerings of the upcoming Holiday 2016 season and Jordan Brand is going all out for the occasion by releasing an entire Space Jam Collection complete with Black/Concord combinations on a number of relevant models and even a retro of the Air Jordan 9 OG thanks to its cameo appearance in Michael Jordan’s Space Jam training montage.

The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” will be readily available on Nike SNKRS and every other major retailer in a full family size run (you can check out all of the Style Code information and pricing below). The Jumpman updated the patent leather for a true and through replica of original sample pairs. That means that the overall shape is a bit changed when compared to modern releases for added height while additional ‘Nike Air’ and ’45’ PE branding pay tribute to Michael Jordan’s comeback.
