An Air Jordan 12 Pinnacle Gold Is Revealed

Air Jordan 12 Air Jordan 12 1 Air Jordan 12 2

Following the release of the Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold, a gold version of the Air Jordan 12 has now surfaced.

Suggested to be a Pinnacle offering, the luxe-enhanced model is packaged with a dustbag, special box, Gold letter, and a Gold Jumpman hangtag. Overall, the sneaker’s shimmering aesthetic is accented to subtle black hits gracing the top eyelets and miniature branded side panels, as it all rests atop a crisp white outsole unit.

A release date for this pair has yet to be announced, although, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

I’m pretty biased towards this colorway. I like the duller look of the gold hue and it looks pretty exceptional on this silhouette.

Jordan Dub Zero Releasing In Vivid Pink

The Jordan Dub Zero is making a strong end of year push for the Jumpman with a number of new colorways surprising the release slate. Not only are the iconic colorways like “Bred” and “Concord” covered for the hybrid model, but Jordan Brand has the grade school girl’s size run covered with this latest Jordan Dub Zero Wolf Grey release for November 9th.

We’ve seen laser etching on the Air Jordan 13-inspired upper in the past featuring an homage to the Air Jordan signature lineage, but this pair opts for a simple printed pattern to coincide with Hyper Pink accents throughout. What do you think of the Jordan Dub Zero Wolf Grey release?

Get these next Thursday at Jordan Brand retailers like Renarts, or see what’s up for grabs now on eBay.

A Quick Preview Of Air Jordan 3 Releases Coming This Year

After being shelved for good back in August of 2014, the Air Jordan 3 Retro made a triumphant return this Holiday season with the release of the Cyber Monday aka Premium Icons colorway. We know of two more releases of the AJ3 throughout the remainder of the year – Black Friday’s True Blue 3s and mid-December’s woolen pair, pictured here side by side. We already know the True Blue 3s are a must-have, but the verdict is still out on the Air Jordan 3 “Wool”, which features no signs of elephant print like the Premium Icons pair that dropped weeks ago. If both are essential to your rotation, check out the full Jordan release date info below.

air jordan 31 1 air jordan 31 2

Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets took on the Philadelphia 76ers last night and Jordan Brand athlete Kemba Walker broke out a pretty sick pair of PEs.

Walker was seen wearing a Hornets PE colorway of the all-new Air Jordan 31. The shoes featured a white and grey upper with purple and teal accents on the inner liner, aglets, Flywire, branding, and midsole. Since Michael Jordan is the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, we can definitely expect to see some impressive Hornets-themed PEs this season. What are your thoughts on these 31s? Let us know in the comments below.

Air Jordan 1 1 Air Jordan 1 2

How about a first look at a new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 that won’t be arriving at retailers until 2017? Well here it is ladies and gentlemen.

The Air Jordan 1 that you see above features an all-black premium leather upper with tonal branding on the side panels, ankle, and tongue. The tongue tag has also been done in leather to add to the premium look. Finishing things off are a white midsole and black rubber outsole.

This black/white colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is currently scheduled to release some time in February of 2017 for $160. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more updates.

Author’s Take

These look a lot like the Cyber Monday 1s that released last year. The leather does look really nice, but these are just too plain for me. I’ll have to pass.

Air Jordan 12 Pinnacle Gold

Jordan Brand’s Pinnacle Series continues to grow stronger with every release, and those of you who were fans of the premium monochromatic Metallic Gold style of the recently released Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle can celebrate the fact that the Jumpman will be doing the same with this upcoming Air Jordan 12 Pinnacle “Gold”.

The Air Jordan 12 has already had a stellar 2016 thanks to some iconic original colorways releasing, but we’ve never seen such a premium take on Michael Jordan’s 12th signature silhouette. A Metallic Gold finish sees contrasting matte black elements on the lace eyelets and mudguard while a white outsole keeps things clean. A protective drawstring bag accompanies the Air Jordan 12 Pinnacle. It’s still unknown if this will release for the Holiday 2016 season or if we’ll have to wait until the new year, but stay tuned for more details in the near future.

Check out a full look of the Air Jordan 12 Pinnacle “Gold” below and we’ll be sure to keep you updated regarding a proper release date for this Metallic Gold gem right here on Sneaker News.

Official Release Details For The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 16


Marcus Jordan promised exclusive heat when he launched Trophy Room, and so far the Orlando hotspot has yet to let us down. Their latest collaborative effort pairs DJ Khaled, the iconic French Blue shade, and the first silhouette since the Air Jordan 3 to be designed by someone other than Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 16, for a release this Saturday, November 5th in limited quantities.

The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 16 takes Wilson Smith’s iconic retro design to task with a premium tumbled leather upper finished brilliantly with a monochromatic French Blue colorway. The Trophy Room Air Jordan 16 utilizes elements from the Air Jordan 5 Retro, Air Jordan 7, and Air Jordan 11 thanks to the inclusion of patent leather, a clear rubber outsole, and more.

Marcus Jordan had this to say about the Trophy Room Air Jordan 16: “The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 16 resonated so well with me because of the premium details incorporated in the model. The patent leather toe, the icy sole, the premium leather used on the shroud. All of those elements truly make this silhouette a classic. For Trophy Room to lead the return of the Air Jordan 16 with the help of DJ Khaled is an honor.”

In order to secure a pair of the Trophy Room Air Jordan 16, you’ll have to be at Trophy Room’s pop-up location at TIER Nightclub in Orlando, Florida before 8:00AM EST this Saturday, November 5th to receive a numbered wristband. This release also marks the first time that Trophy Room will be launching product online at their webstore, TrophyRoomStore.com. Check out a teaser video of this upcoming collaboration and stay tuned for more Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

The craftsmanship and material used on the shoe are definitely on point. With that being said, I’m not too high on the model to tell you the truth. Plus, $275? That kind of makes it easier to pass up on.

The Air Jordan 13 What Is Love Pack Is Unveiled

Air Jordan 13 2 Air Jordan 13 3 Air Jordan 13 4 Air Jordan 13 5 Air Jordan 13 1 Air Jordan 13

Taking cues from one of MJ’s inspirational marketing campaigns, “What is Love?” — a commercial that debuted in 2003 during Jordan’s last season in the NBA — this latest iteration of the Air Jordan 13 relives that memorable time with this “Perfect Match” series, which also correlates with Chinese Singles? Day — an entertaining festival that celebrates the status of being single.

Featuring one pair for men and women, the men?s variation flaunts a classic gym red and black palette, while the black leather element above its midsole also bears a panda camouflage graphic when rubbed off. The women?s edition is draped in a respective feminine hue of turquoise across its full-grain leather upper with white accents gracing the sole unit. Each pair is topped off with the signature circular hologram logo adorning the heels.

Noted to be an Asia exclusive release only, the sneakers will be offered alongside complementary t-shirts that feature the defining panda illustration.

Author’s Take

The theme is pretty cool and if you’ve seen the commercial, it’s one of JB’s best ever. The colorways offered are solid overall. Both pairs are appealing in general and should be sought after.
