A Cream Suede Jordan Westbrook 0.2 Is Coming Soon
By SoleInsider
While the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 will be making its stateside debut tomorrow in the Black Camo colorway, today we take a first look at a future offering from Russel Westbrook 2nd lifestyle signature sneaker with the Jumpman.
This time around the Westbrook 0.2 goes for a much lighter shade in comparison to the Black Camo colorway as we can see that the entire upper of the shoe is done in a nice cream hue. Leather and a very nice suede can be seen on the upper with Westbrook’s logo in gold landing on the tongue.
No release date is available just yet for this cream colorway of the Jordan Westbrook 0.2, but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.
The colorway just screams out elegance to me, but it’ll be really hard to keep these looking clean all the time. I think I’m gonna have to pass on these.
It was only a matter of time before Jordan Brand’s lifestyle sensibilities landed on the Air Jordan 11, transforming the patent leather gem through the use of brand new materials with the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Suede release for this coming Holiday 2016 season. This tonal grey pair has an interesting story behind it too, and while we can’t pin down an actual release date just yet, you can expect this premium pair to arrive before year’s end.
The Air Jordan 11 Suede started out as a project through Jordan Brand’s Make-A-Wish experience, as Rhome Simpkins, a kid born with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, was the proud recipient of one of the first pairs. That might explain early looks featuring exclusive ‘RS’ initials embossed on the heel. The unconventional creation swaps out the signature Cordura mesh upper and patent leather mudguard with a premium hairy suede throughout while a pre-aged translucent outsole unit adds a cream effect to the bottom for a unique twist.
What do you think of the Air Jordan 11 Suede? Stay tuned for more release info in the future right here on Sneaker News and know that this upcoming premium retro is rumored to be priced at $400 to match the brand’s Pinnacle and Premium sensibilities. More photos below.

Another Look At The Upcoming Air Jordan 1 High Top 3
By SoleInsider
Additional views of the forthcoming Air Jordan 1 High Top 3 is showcased, as the model is expected to make its debut next month.
As suggested, the sneaker?s aesthetic is essentially defined by the mixture of three iconic original AJ 1 colorways ? ?Chicago,? ?Banned? and ?Royal?. Each respective theme is simply blended across the silhouette?s premium leather profile, while the number 3 also signifies Michael Jordan?s draft placement in the 1984 NBA Draft.
With its suggested retail price listed at $160, you can purchase this standout pair at select Nike and JB stockists on November 28th.

The Cal Golden Bears Receive Their Own Air Jordan 31
By SoleInsider
Following Michigan and North Carolina variations, the California Golden Bears also receive their own player exclusive Air Jordan 31 for the men?s basketball team throughout the 2016-2017 NCAA season.
Draped in the university’s signature colors, white and navy dominates its flyweave and synthetic leather upper, while bright pops of yellow are implemented on the Jumpman across the heel, Flywire cables and midsole unit. Rounding out the design is an icy translucent outsole that also bears a California graphic as a further homage to the school.
Unfortunately, this rendition isn’t expected to be offered to the public.
A style that is similar to Spike Lee?s Oscars rendition, the sneaker is essentially defined by the lavish hue covering its entire leather upper. Matching lace locks, alongside beige-colored laces and tongue further detail its eye-catching design, while the model is topped off with pristine white implemented on the heel tab, tongue and midsole unit.
Priced at $250, you can purchase a pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting Saturday, October 22nd.
More images of the forthcoming Air Jordan 6 Hare are presented once again, this time showcasing a full overview of the silhouette.
Inspired by the classic bugs bunny-inspired AJ 7 Hare, the sneaker inherits a predominantly pristine finish of white with light grey across its leather and nubuck-based upper. The signature multicolor carrot inspired zig-zagging pattern detailing evident on the AJ 7 is absent on this pair, while bright red is further implemented on the tongue, perforated heel, midsole and outsole to round out its overall profile.
In addition, 1991 is stitched behind the tongue to represent the year that the Air Jordan 6 first released.
With its suggested retail price set at $190, you can expect this model to debut at select Nike and JB retailers in March 2017.

I would?ve preferred it more with the multicolor detailing on the tongue. This variation look solid though, I like the colors utilized and their placement.
Dexter Fowler Of The Chicago Cubs Is Giving Air Jordans To His Teammates
By SoleInsider
After defeating the San Francisco Giants in thrilling fashion the other night, the Chicago Cubs are a step closer to the World Series and potentially their first-ever championship since 1908. Dexter Fowler, the team’s Center Fielder, took to Twitter to show off the strength of his shoe plug because he’s giving his teammates some Air Jordan 12s. It’s unclear what colorway is hiding in those boxes, but it’s obvious that the perfect fit would indeed be the Deep Royal blue pair that’s dropping next month. Any guess as to what’s inside?
This December 10th marks the return of the Space Jam Jordan 11s. The shoe was made famous by Michael Jordan and his Space Jam film, but even the most casual of MJ fans know that he wore these during the 1995 Playoffs against Shaq, Penny, and the Orlando Magic. Jordan prematurely broke out the Air Jordan 11 (much to Tinker Hatfield’s chagrin) in the Concord colorway during that Playoff series, but soon switched to this all-black version to adhere to NBA uniform regulations.
The 2016 Space Jam 11s are much different from the 2009 Retro for several reasons. For one, it features the original 45 on the heel rather than 23, and the shape and dimensions of the patent leather mudguard resembles the originals from 1996.
The Space Jam Jordan 11 shoes release on December 10th in full family sizes, from adult offerings all the way down to crib sizes.
The Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger Drops Right Before Halloween
By SoleInsider
Before the end of the month we’ll be seeing another premium colorway of the Air Jordan 4 arrive at retailers.
This Air Jordan 4 is said to take inspiration from the iconic Timberland boot and comes dressed in a premium leather upper that has been given the tonal look as a Ginger/Wheat hue has been applied all throughout. Leather laces, perforation detailing, a quilted leather insole, and a gum outsole are a few of the details that are included in this Air Jordan 4 release.
Look for this Air Jordan 4 to release on October 29, 2016 for $400. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger launch page now for the latest images, information and release details.
I see what Jordan Brand was trying to do with the Timberland boot-inspired look on this Air Jordan 4, but there?s no way I would spend $400 on this shoe. $200 sounds a lot more reasonable.
The Air Jordan 12 Releases Continue With This Deep Royal Blue Colorway
By SoleInsider
You didn’t think that Jordan Brand was done with the Air Jordan 12 just yet, did you? Well if you did then you’re sadly mistaken because another colorway will be dropping next month.
Having some similarities to the PSNY pair that dropped last year, this Air Jordan 12 features a Deep Royal upper that is done in suede along with textured leather overlays on the mudguard. The upper eyelets, inner liner, tongue, midsole, and outsole have also been done in Deep Royal Blue with the only contrast coming on the branding on the tongue, heel, and outsole.
Scheduled to release on November 12th for $190, will you be going after this Air Jordan 12 or will they be a pass for you?

Author’s Take
The suede upper is pretty cool, but I?m not a fan of the all royal blue look. Jordan Brand should have added more color to this Air Jordan 12. I?ll pass on them.
Were Two Days Away From The Release Of The Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday
By SoleInsider
In two short days we’ll be seeing the triumphant return of the Air Jordan 3. This Cyber Monday colorway will be the first pair released under Jordan Brand’s new “remastered” movement.
Outfitted in an all-black premium leather upper, this Air Jordan 3 then gets hit with a contrasting White sole unit. The Jumpman on the tongue as well as on the heel have also been done in black to keep things simple.
Dropping on October 15th for a retail price of $190, will the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday be a cop or a drop for you?
The Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday Are My New Pure Money 3s
By SoleInsider
It might be dropping this weekend, but we’ve all had a pair of the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday at some point in our lives. You might not realize it but at some point you’ve had “that pair” of sneakers. The one that is so rote and simple in color that you don’t think twice about wearing them and just beating them up. It doesn’t matter if you’re going to school or running a few errands or just hanging out with friends; you’ve had that pair of kicks that are just fire enough that you won’t get clowned for wearing something lame but clearly have more than a few miles on them. It’s the sneaker you wear to prove that you actually #wearyourkicks.
For some people it might be a pair of Chuck Taylors while others might go with the reliable Vans Skate Hi. A sneakerhead really entrenched in the culture for decades now might go with some Air Force 1s or Air Jordan 1s, but today the adidas NMD and Ultra Boost are staking their claim for the modern fans.
The last pair of kicks that I would consider my “everydays” prior to taking this job was the Air Jordan 3 Pure Money. Right before I decided to jump on writing as a career choice, I wasn’t buying kicks all the time. Coming out of college, most of my sneaker purchases were limited by how much money was in my bank account and what was on clearance at Shiekh Shoes or Foot Locker (word to those stores because they were selling OG Kobe 1s for 50 bucks). There were exceptions to the rule, but for the most part I built my humble collection by never paying full price and the highlight of that was the Pure Money 3s that I found at the wall of a Nike Outlet Store in 2007.
Flight Club
As a kid, I wore what my parents wanted and eventually what I could coerce them into buying for me. In college I wore a lot of sandals because kicks weren’t the first thing on my mind. Post-college, I was finding my way while wearing those 3s and Kobes. It’s nothing like today where I’m fortunate enough to have the access that I do and I find it hard to literally wear a sneaker more than a handful of times (Ultra Boosts and Internationalists notwithstanding). The Pure Money 3 was the perfect shoe for that period of my life because it was versatile enough to handle just about anything non-formal in my wardrobe. Hell, those shoes have traveled with me across the world because they “just work”, even if I did have clean them quite a bit to keep them fresh.
But in time, white turns to yellow and paint chips away and feet grow so I had to say goodbye to the Pure Money 3s. I’ve owned a number of 3s in that time, but I think the Cyber Monday 3s (that aren’t releasing in Cyber Monday anymore but we still call it that because Google Searches) can be that shoe that replicates that feeling.
The Air Jordan 3 True Blue Headlines A Loaded Black Friday (Video)
By SoleInsider
We say it every year and we mean it every year: Black Friday is going to be loaded with sneaker releases. The kickoff to the holiday season has so many drops that brands and stores build up the whole week around prior to Friday just to get people hyped up. 2016 will be no different as Yeezys, NMDs, Foams and more will get their time in the spotlight. But let’s be honest here; there’s only one headliner on Black Friday and that’s return of one of the greatest Air Jordans of all time, the Air Jordan 3 True Blue and it’s bringing Nike Air with it.

Bred 1s, Royal 1s, or Chicago 1s?

The Air Jordan 1 “Top Three” will release after the dust has settled on the Black Friday madness (the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” will be holding down that American shopping holiday for those interested).
