With a slew of Jordan silhouettes dropping this season, a GS-exclusive iteration of the Air Jordan 12 is set to debut next for this coming weekend.

Treated in an understated combination of light grey and wolf grey tones across its premium tumbled leather upper and rubber sole unit, the defining pink hue is prominent on the branded miniature side panels, tongue, heel section and outsole as a finish to its simplistic profile.

Retailing for $140, you can buy this grade school pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand stockists starting this Saturday, November 19th.

Author’s Take

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.

The Air Jordan 1 “Royal” is rumored to return sometime in 2017, and for those of you looking for some sort of sign that the OG colorway is in fact in the Jumpman’s future plans can take solace in knowing that Jordan Brand is experimenting with new Royal inspirations. The latest Air Jordan 1 Ultra High is a lifestyle-minded weather-ready model featuring additional neoprene slip-on ankle support, a bolstered canvas-like overlay on the toebox and heel panels, and a wool-based upper for further insulation.

The Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Royal flips the Swoosh branding for a simple Sport Royal outline while boot-like laces and eyelets add to the overall weatherized feel. Strangely enough, the Air Jordan 1 outsole is the only thing that remains unchanged on this sneakerboot-esque silhouette. What do you think of the look? Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for a release date in the near future.

The Black Mamba may have called it quits from the NBA last season, but his impact on the game will continue. Not only will Nike be releasing the all-new Nike Kobe A.D. later this month, but Jordan Brand will also be paying their respects (a little late for that fact) with this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 9.

Inspired by the PE pair that was worn by Kobe himself, this Air Jordan 9 has been done up in Lakers colors and comes covered in White leather upper with Concord and Tour Yellow detailing on the mudguard, heel, inner liner, and the branding. A “23” has been added on the heel, even though it should have been an “8”, to cap things off.

Will this be a cop or drop come November 19th? Retail price will be $190.

Couldn?t Nike/Jordan Brand have given us the Air Jordan 3 instead? Oh well, I guess. Good thing I?m not a Kobe fan. Still a solid sneaker if you are a Kobe fan.

A wide variety of Jordan Brand silhouettes have been given the Space Jam look this year in honor of the movie’s 20th anniversary. One of those pairs is the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High which made its debut earlier this year.

This modified version of the classic Air Jordan 1 features textile and patent leather upper done in Black with Concord accents landing on the Jumpman logo on the tongue and insoles, the Wings branding on the ankle, and the Swoosh on the side panels. As you can tell, this version of the Air Jordan 1 features an extended collar for a modern look. A White midsole and icy blue translucent outsole finish off the look.

The Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Space Jam will be releasing on December December 3rd 2016 for $150.

If this were a regular Air Jordan 1 and not the Ultra version with the new ankle/collar, I’m pretty sure I would have liked it better. I’m not a fan of the new look.

If you’re a fan of the Air Jordan 15 then you’ll be pretty stoked to know that the overlooked silhouette will be returning in 2017.

The OG Stealth colorway is on deck to return in the early part of 2017 as the shoe features a full Black upper that?s done in a combination of full grain leather and a woven material that runs across the side panels. Hits of Varsity Red can then be seen on the heel, and the branding on the tongue and toe.

Expected to kick off 2017 with a release date of January 7th, will you be grabbing a pair? Retail will be $190.

Not a fan of the Air Jordan 15 at all. These will be an easy pass for me. I?m sure some people will be glad to see the silhouette make a return though.

Author’s Take

I wouldn’t really call myself a fan of the Air Jordan 13, but I may consider picking up a pair next year. It’ll most likely be the White/True Red pair or the Flints though, I’m not feeling this Black Cat pair too much.

Going inside the mind of Tinker Hatfield, particularly during Michael Jordan’s playing days, is a rare treat. Together, they pioneered the designer/athlete bond, which is why the shoe architects spend so much time and energy getting to know their muses before putting pen to paper. For the Air Jordan 9, Tinker wanted to amplify Michael Jordan’s global popularity by telling an international story on the soles of the shoes, so he called on Mark Smith, master of the minute details, to bring it to life.

The Air Jordan 9 “Space Jam” is, of course, set for a return this December 3rd on Nike SNKRS and select Jordan retailers worldwide. Enjoy a look at some of the original sketch concepts of the shoes below and see the full feature on SNKRS.

Space Jam is celebrating its 20th anniversary this Holiday 2016 season, and Jordan Brand is taking advantage of their partnership with Warner Bros. through a diverse, multi-faceted footwear and apparel collection inspired by the opposing Monstars with their Jordan Space Jam Collection slated to arrive in stores throughout late-November and December.

The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” is the obvious highlight of the collection with a remastered attention to detail reshaping the patent leather mudguard to match the 1996 original. Also included in the offering is updated ’45’ PE branding to honor Michael Jordan’s return to the game of basketball after his first retirement. Vintage ‘Nike Air’ branding also hits the insole to further the homage to original ’96 samples. Jordan Brand also updated the Air Jordan 31 in a “Space Jam” inspired colorway featuring patent leather gradually fading to the unique woven Flyweave upper to match an icy outsole and Concord purple accents on the branding throughout.

The Air Jordan 9 “Space Jam” pays tribute to the OG Chicago colorway found on Michael Jordan’s feet during the training session scenes of the film. While it’s a bit removed from the Black/Concord aesthetic seen throughout the Jordan Brand Space Jam Collection footwear and apparel, sneaker purists will have no problem picking up the remastered Air Jordan 9 OG on December 3rd.

On November 15, 1996, the film, Space Jam, officially debuted in theaters and created a pop-culture phenomenon that introduced an entire generation to the intersection of sport and culture.

Twenty years later for its respective 20th anniversary, Jordan Brand celebrates the iconic movie with the Air Jordan 31 in a (black/concord) colorway and two original pairs of Air Jordans worn in the legendary film — the Air Jordan 9 and Air Jordan 11.

Additionally, a special edition Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 1 Ultra High is currently available to further commemorate the film.

Aside from the notable footwear, a special apparel collection is revealed as well and essentially takes cues from the movie?s famed groups — the Tune Squad and the Monstars. The line features both iconic graphics from the original movie and modernized designs which pay homage to the classic black and concord palette, in addition to memorable story lines, such as the Bugs Bunny Shakespeare Scene and Monstars villain uniforms.

Just yesterday we provided you with two different sets of what we believe is the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low Barons. Today we have the latest images to share with you.

For those who may not be aware, this is the first time Jordan Brand has released this colorway of the Jordan 11 Low. Our first couple of looks indicate that the shoe’s look is fairly simple in design and color. It is done in a Black suede upper accompanied by the Black leather hits on the heels. The patent leather usually found on the toe and mudguard adapts a iridescent look to give the shoe some added shimmy. Lastly, a White midsole and milky outsole round out the look of the shoe. Dropping early 2017, is this an Air Jordan release you’re looking forward to? Sound off in the comments below.

Author’s Take

It?s too plain, and it feels like a colorway that’s already been released. Not a huge fan of the iridescent patent leather and the all Black up top is a bit boring. It?s an easy pass for me.

A day after the film’s 20th anniversary, the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Space Jam consists as one pair that celebrates the iconic movie.

Essentially covered in the classic colorway of black, white and concord, inspired by the forthcoming AJ 11 — the basketball sneaker is also defined by a new textile construction, alongside patent leather accents gracing the toe cap and heel.

Further equipped with an extended bootie and pull-tab system that correlates with footwear trends of today, the model is finished off with a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole.

Priced at $150, a few stockists nationwide already have the silhouette available early, although, you can find it at more Nike and Jordan Brand retailers starting December 3.

I?m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, this rendition is pretty solid. The colorway is a classic and the build is versatile as well.

Amongst the slew of Jordan silhouettes releasing this Holiday 2016, a notable standout is this forthcoming Air Jordan 1 High Top 3.

As suggested, the basketball sneaker?s aesthetic is defined by the mixture of three iconic original AJ 1 colorways ? ?Chicago,? ?Banned? and ?Royal?. Each respective palette essentially adorns a portion of the silhouette?s premium leather composition. In addition, the three colors chosen is in reference to Michael Jordan?s draft placement in the 1984 NBA Draft.

Priced at $160, you can buy this exclusive pair at select Nike and JB stockists on Cyber Monday, November 28th.

This ?What The?-inspired theme on the sneaker came out solid and I like how three colorways were only utilized. I?m a fan.
