Jordan Brand looks to make a statement early on in 2017 by releasing this highly coveted new colorway of the Air Jordan 4. Currently known as the Air Jordan 4 Royalty, let’s take a closer look at this upcoming drop.

Opting to go with the always popular Black and Gold color scheme, the Air Jordan 4 Royalty is dressed in a premium looking Black nubuck upper. It it then offset by the bold hits of Gold noted on the branding and eyelets. Premium features on the shoe include the leather heel tab that takes the place of the usual plastic construction. Below you will find a White and Black sole unit that gives the shoe some nice contrast. Set to release January, 2017 for $190, is this a must-cop in your opinion?

Author’s Take

It’s almost a perfect colorway of the 4. The only thing I’d change would be the color of the outsole. A gum bottom would be perfect on this pair.

In 2017 we’ll be seeing the return of the Air Jordan 15. Many people hold the Air Jordan 1-14 in high regards but felt that once MJ retired his sneakers fell off. What do you think?

This OG Air Jordan 15 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.

At the moment these are scheduled to release on January 7, 2017 for $190. Will you be copping? Click and bookmark our Air Jordan 15 Stealth launch page for the latest images, release information, and other updates.

Presenting The All-New Jordan Deco Fly Heiress

JORDAN DECA FLY 1 JORDAN DECA FLY 2 JORDAN DECA FLY 3 JORDAN DECA FLY 4 JORDAN DECA FLY 5 JORDAN DECA FLY 6 JORDAN DECA FLY 7

It seems that Jordan Brand has a “thing” for velvet burgundy sneakers this Fall/Winter because they continue to use the rich color scheme on more and more silhouettes.

First it was the Air Jordan 1 (which is already beginning to arrive at select retailers) which will be followed up by the Air Jordan 11 that releases in December. The latest silhouette to join this “Heiress” Collection is a new one known as the Jordan Deco Fly. The new model resembles a trainer and features a velvet, nubuck, and mesh upper done in a rich Night Maroon hue. Metallic Gold is then seen on the Jumpman branding on the ankle and tongue, along with a White outsole.

So what are your thoughts on the all-new Jordan Deca Fly “Heiress”? You can find this shoe at select retailers now for $100.

Even though this is a women’s sneaker, I actually like it. It might just be the colorway, but I think it looks pretty dope.

Were You Able To Pick Up The Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger This Morning

Air Jordan 4 1 Air Jordan 4 2 Air Jordan 4 3

The Air Jordan 4 dropped this morning in another premium colorway. Were you able to cop? As of writing this the shoe is already sold out on the Nike SNKRS app as well as a bunch of other retailers that made it available.

We know that the biggest bash on this sneaker was its $400 price tag, but apparently a good amount of people liked the shoe enough to dish out the money for it. I personally was one of those people that did like it, but $400 is a little too steep for me right now. The materials and colorways are very nice though, and you have to give Jordan Brand props for creating a nice Fall-inspired sneaker. If you’re still on the hunt you may be able to track a pair down at select retailers/boutiques. Let us know down below if you copped.

Only 2 pairs of the Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher Alternate were created, one went to Phillips and the other was auctioned off at the Doernbecher Freestyle event for $45,000. Take a look at the video below courtesy of heskicks to get a closer look at the shoe.

This year’s N7 collection, which is essentially the Swoosh’s initiative for aiding Native American and Aboriginal youth involved in sports and physical activity, will include the Air Jordan 31 as one of its highlight offerings.

Covered in an understated palette of black, dark turquoise and white color, the sneaker’s knitted upper is rendered in a two-tone finish with black more prominent on the toe box, while white covers the remainder of its profile.

Additional details include embossed N7 and Jumpman branding on the tongues, while turquoise accents prominent on the Flywire cables and midsole pronounce the design. Finally, an icy outsole finishes off the overall makeup.

Featured in its GS sizing, you can purchase a pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand stockists starting November 7th for $185. GS sizes are listed at $160.

The Air Jordan 6 Alternate Debuts Next Year

Air Jordan 6 Air Jordan 6 1 Air Jordan 6 2 Air Jordan 6 3 Air Jordan 6 4 Air Jordan 6 5 Air Jordan 6 6 Air Jordan 6 7 Air Jordan 6 8

Previously suggested to be the Air Jordan 6 Hare, this latest variation of the basketball silhouette is actually an extension of Jordan Brand‘s “Alternate” colorway this season.

Somewhat of a hybrid maroon variation as well, the sneaker pays homage to the Chicago Bulls’ color scheme with white, pure platinum and gym red accents covering its entire upper. This iteration is also the pair that MJ would’ve donned during the 1991 Playoffs, as the year ?1991? is evidenced on the tongues. Finally, translucent outsoles finish off the design.

With its retail price listed at $190, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers starting March 11, 2017.

Author’s Take

Even though it’s been confused with the Hare or Maroon colorways, it’s still another appealing iteration. I’m just biased in general.

Another look at the Air Jordan 1 High GS in Velvet Night Maroon is presented, as it’s the next premium variation of the silhouette, which will be part of the Fall 2016 Heirness collection from Jordan Brand.

Flaunting the defining burgundy tone across its entire upper, the understated makeup is accentuated with luxe metallic gold accents gracing the branded tongue, iconic wings logo on the ankles and signature Swooshes on its side panels. Finally, a crisp white midsole unit finishes off the overall design.

With its retail price tag listed at $140, this GS-exclusive rendition is currently available ahead of schedule, at select Nike and JB retailers nationwide now.

More stockists will debut the silhouette on December 17th.

Our First Official Look At The Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher By Damien Phillips

Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 1 Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 2 Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 3 Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 4

This year, the Air Jordan 7 is the model chosen to represent Jordan Brand in the Doernbecher collection. 10-year old Damien Phillips is the kid who got to create the shoe. Let’s take a closer look at the Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher By Damien Phillips.

Damian is currently fighting through a hemophilia diagnosis. Throughout this entire time he has shown a tremendous amount of courage, even while at hemophilia camp, where he was awarded the Big Stick Award after learning to administer his own infusions. Damian is a big time fan of the Chicago Bulls, so when he found out he was given the Air Jordan 7 to work on, he was pretty ecstatic about that. The shoe has a Bulls theme to it as the team’s Black and Red colors are placed all over the upper. He also enjoy rock music, which is why he placed the guitar pick on the laces, while the heel tab is said to resemble a guitar neck. Lastly, the outsole features an animated graphic of Damien himself rocking out to a power solo. The Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher By Damien Phillips will be releasing on Saturday, December 17th at Nike SNKRS for $190.

Astrotorf Customs Creates An Air Jordan 3 Wings!

air jordan 3 wings 1 air jordan 3 wings 4 unnamed (1) unnamed

The minute I saw that the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday was going to drop, I knew instantly that the all-Black shoe was a perfect canvas for customs. The shoe dropped a couple weeks ago, and I’ve already seen a handful of pretty sweet customs. One that managed to stand out the most was this Air Jordan 3 Wings created by Astrotorf Customs. Not too long ago, we saw him do his thing on the Air Jordan 5 Wings custom, now he’s back at it again using the same Wings pattern on the Jordan 3.

The Jordan 3 Wings is inspired by the Jordan 12 Wings. Just like the 12 Wings, most of the shoe comes in the original Black leather base. The magic in the custom lies in the Black and Gold Wings pattern placed on the mudguard. The Black and Gold Wings pattern is actually stencil work created by D-Nice Customs made especially for the Air Jordan 3 model. The rest of the shoe remains untouched, the only other upgrade would be the removal of the original laces in favor of the leather laces to help give it more of a premium look and feel. Simple, yet very dope! Be sure to check out Astrotorf Custom’s IG here and see what else he’s been working on.

P.S. The shoe you see above is for sale. It’s a 10.5. Hit up Astrotorf Custom’s IG here to see how you can own the pair.
