Not only were we treated to official images of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam today, but Nike also blessed us with an official look of the forthcoming Air Jordan 31 Space Jam.

Inspired by the Air Jordan 11, this new colorway of the Air Jordan 31 takes on Black on the majority of the Flyweave and patent leather upper to mimic the signature look of the 11s. Other details include patent leather on the tongue tag, a Concord Jumpman on the ankle, White midsole, and an icy blue translucent outsole.

Look for the Air Jordan 31 Space Jam to arrive at retailers on December 3rd for a price tag of $185. Is this a cop or drop for all of you that are fans of the 31?

I like it. Jordan Brand continues to release very clean colorways of the 31. I hope people sleep on them and I can get them for below retail down the line.

Kobe Bryant will be receiving a special honor this weekend courtesy of Jordan Brand as his PE colorway of the Air Jordan 9 will finally be releasing to the masses.

Worn by Kobe while he was a sneaker free agent (after adidas and before Nike), this Air Jordan 9 features a White leather upper with Concord and Tour Yellow detailing on the mudguard, heel, inner liner, and the branding. The only main difference between this pair and the one worn by the Black Mamba is that this retail pair has a “23” on the heel instead of an “8” like the PE version.

Dropping on November 19th for $190. how many Kobe fans plan on picking up a pair?

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 of you are a Kobe fan.

One week prior to the Space Jam Jordan 11s release, Jordan Brand will present the next Air Jordan 31 release featuring a classic colorway ported over to the newest silhouette. The color-blocking is a tit-for-tat match to the Air Jordan 11, with the Concord blue Jumpman, translucent icy sole, and minute hits of patent leather on the tongue and the heel. The Flyweave upper is a mix of black and anthracite grey, giving these a bit of welcome contrast from the Jordan 11.

The Air Jordan 31 Space Jam is scheduled for a release on December 3rd in mens and kids sizes; see the official images below and be sure to add these to your Jordan release dates page now.

Jordan Brand’s Space Jam Collection is headed to retailers to highlight their Holiday 2016 release slate. While many of you are counting down the days until the freshly revamped Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” arrives at retailers featuring its updated 45 PE branding, Nike Air insoles, and more, Jordan Brand will also be releasing a number of updated models featuring that classic Black/Concord colorway to honor the iconic Air Jordan 11s. One of those releases is this Air Jordan 1 Ultra High “Space Jam” slated to arrive on December 3rd for $150 USD.

The Air Jordan 1 Ultra High “Space Jam” manages to intrigue thanks to an updated construction meant to help your feet stay warm and dry throughout the winter months. An added ankle collar now features a stretchy neoprene slip-on construction while a bolstered wool helps hold down the more traditional Air Jordan 1 panels. We’ve seen the Air Jordan 1 rock patent leather int he past, but now the lower portions of this model feature the shiny textile in an homage to the Jordan 11’s mudguard. subdued Swoosh branding is stitched in a contrasting Concord Purple while an icy outsole matches rather well.

Earlier today we gave you an initial look at the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons set to release during the Spring of next year. Now we have even more images that show the shoe in its entirety. Let’s get a closer look.

Author’s Take

It’s too plain, and it feels like a colorway that has already 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.

In a little over two weeks we’ll be seeing the return of a classic colorway of the Air Jordan 9.

Draped in the classic White/Black/True Red color scheme inspired by Michael’s Chicago Bulls, Jordan Brand has decided to rename this the Space Jam colorway to go along with the current 20th anniversary celebration of the movie. Michael also wore them in the movie so the name does make sense. This Air Jordan 9 features a White leather upper with Black detailing on the mudguard, heel, tongue, laces, inner liner, and midsole. Pops of True Red are then seen on the branding on the tongue, midsole, and heel.

Will you be picking up a pair come December 3rd? Retail price will be $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 9 Retro OG White Black True Red (2016) launch page now for even more images, info and release details.

I don?t think real fans of this Air Jordan 9 care what nickname these are given. If you like the shoe you?ll but it, if you don?t then you won?t. Simple as that.

December is unquestionably one of the most important months out of the year in the sneaker business, and Jordan Brand has been steadily entrenched at the forefront of the season’s best shoe relaeses. Believe it or not, there are eight different Air Jordan releases confirmed for December, but the prize is most certainly the “Space Jam“, which comes adorned with MJ’s “45” on the heel, Nike Air on the insole, and of course, the piano black patent leather mudguard. Unlike the 2009 release, this 2016 offering will be the centerpiece of a massive “Space Jam” apparel and footwear capsule, so it’s literally impossible to not have any dose of Space Jam this Holiday season .

The Air Jordan 11 Retro “Space Jam” is scheduled to release on December 10th, 2016 at Jordan Brand retailers worldwide. Get a look at the official images of the must-have Jordan release of the Holiday season below, and stay tuned to Sneaker News for continuing updates on this release.

Confused as to why the Air Jordan 9, coming back in its most iconic look of white, black, and red, is being referred to as the Air Jordan 9 Space Jam? Jordan Brand is pushing the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam as the retro of choice for their upcoming Holiday 2016 release slate thanks to the iconic film’s 20th-anniversary celebration. But there was another pair that received quite a bit of the spotlight during Michael Jordan’s preparation to get back into basketball shape to help the Looney Tunes defeat the Monstars.

Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny would have to go to Michael’s house to get a pair of the classic Air Jordan 9 OG in white and black from MJ’s trophy room as well as a pair of MJ’s college warm-up shorts for good luck. A subsequent training montage would ensue featuring the pair followed by the decision to lace up the Space Jam 11s during the actual game. So there you have it – the shoes are certainly part of the Space Jam fabric, but to refer to these as the “Space Jam” is definitely a first.

The Air Jordan 9 Space Jam will arrive at retailers on December 3rd featuring a new remastered leather upper complete with a high-contrast white and black throughout. Head over to our Jordan release dates page for an updated look at the Jumpman’s Holiday 2016 plans, and stay tuned for more official images of Jordan’s Space Jam footwear collection.

The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air is making a return with these brand new colorways. Although we still don’t know when the shoes will drop, we do have updated images of the two colorways set to drop in the near future.

(Un)officially know as the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Shadow and Air Jordan 1 Rare Air fragment design, both pairs rock similar color blocking as the original color schemes noted on the original Air Jordan 1. Constructed out of premium tumbled leather, standout features on the shoe include the “AIR JORDAN” branding on the ankle collar, Jumpman branding on the tongue, “RARE AIR” branding right below the Jumpman and what has most people talking is without a doubt the tonal Nike Air branding embroidered on the heel. What do you think? Was this really necessary? Is this a dope take on the original versions? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to find out when both of these get a release date.

Author’s Take

Of course, I’d rather have the original Shadows or Frags, but I wouldn’t consider these ugly, at all. They’re solid, I just don’t know if I’d pick them up.

Could the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air return to store shelves in the near future? Today we get a look at the latest Air Jordan 1 featuring premium tumbled leather and two familiar shades from some of your favorite AJ1 releases – the “Shadow” and “fragment design” options. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High Rare Air series saw a short-lived test-run in which the ‘Wings’ branding on the ankle collar was replaced by a simple ‘Air Jordan’ text callout. The look was straight from early 1985 samples of Michael Jordan’s famous first signature and helped celebrate three decades of the Air Jordan 1.

Today’s samples of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air features a simple White/Wolf Grey-Black option with premium tumbled leather throughout. The tongue skips the swappable velcro tags seen on previous releases but still comes equipped with traditional Jumpman branding with ‘Rare Air’ text callouts underneath. There’s also an interesting “Game Royal” option that should grab the attention of anyone obsessed with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s limited fragment design x Air Jordan 1 collaboration.

Check out more detailed shots below and we’ll let you know once these 2 upcoming Air Jordan 1 Rare Air colorways are available in the near future. Head over to our always-updated Jordan release dates page for more.

The Air Jordan 11 Low has become an annual Summer tradition and it appears that 2017 won’t break that streak. It appears that the low-top Air Jordan 11 is returning this April in a brand new colorway that features a glossy mudguard (not quite patent leather) and an opaque sole similar to the 72-10 Jordan release from last December. It also features a silver “23” and Jumpman logo on the tongue, so don’t be surprised if a “Barons” nickname begins to surface. Check out the full shot ahead and stay tuned for more updates.

The return of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam has inspired a few other silhouettes from Jordan Brand to receive the iconic finish.

Chris Paul?s Jordan CP3.X consists as one of them. The respective color scheme of black, concord and white is essentially reflected on the silhouette, as its black-based upper is complemented with concord hits on the flywire, followed by white speckling scattered throughout its entirety.

All adhered atop a translucent outsole, the model is topped off with an enlarged Jumpman branding no the side panels.

Retailing for $125, you can purchase this pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers now.

Author’s Take

There’s too much speckling in my opinion. It should’ve been a cleaner profile. Either way, I’m not really a fan of the model, but this colorway is solid.

While an unofficial rendering was showcased this past September, leaked images of the purported Air Jordan 11 Low Barons have now surfaced online.

Unlike the rendering’s metallic silver patent leather overlay, these images portray a darker tone and suggested to be similar to the Air Jordan 11 72-10 instead. Tonal black further comprises the upper, while the notable “23” and Jumpman logos are embroidered on the heel tab.

Rumors suggest this pair to make its debut sometime in 2017 but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

If it does end up looking like the 72-10s, this pair should be sought after. I’m not really a fan of the silhouette in low-top form, but, it’s always an appealing profile.

Recently released in light bone, the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 receives another stylish colorway of Vachetta Tan for its next iteration this season.

Evoking premium lifestyle appeal, the sneaker’s upper is comprised of rough suede and colored in the defining hue. Leather accents are utilized for the branded tongue tabs, while an embossed Jumpman logo is evident on the heels. Additionally, gold foil branding are prominent on the insoles as it all rests atop a sail white rubber sole unit to cap off its simplistic design.

You can find this pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand stockists overseas first for $140, while its stateside debut is imminent.

Author’s Take

Even though it looks like Saint Laurent knock-offs, I still like the simplistic design. This colorway is also really appealing and stylish in general.
