Miami retailer SoleFly is a couple of weeks away from releasing their collaborative effort with Jordan Brand. The SoleFly x Air Jordan 23 pays homage to the 1997 MLB World Series Champion, Florida Marlins. Let’s take a closer look.

Rocking the team colors from the ’97 Marlins, the Jordan 23 is dressed in a Teal upper composed out of a tumbled leather. Even more tonal hues are noted in in areas such as the stitching, laces, lining and sole unit. Creating minimal contrast and a premium feel are the hits of Gold  noted on the branding an midsole speckling. Laser-etched “23” and “SF” branding is placed on the tongue to help give it even more of a collaborative feel. Said to be limited to only 1,500 pairs, each pair will be numbered which can be noted on the stitching on the inside of the shoe. The shoe will drop exclusively at SoleFly?s Cutler Bay location on October 22 for the retail price of $275.. If you’re not in the area, you’re going to have to wait until October 24th to try to get a pair. Check out our SoleFly x Air Jordan 23 hub page for the latest info and images of this upcoming release.

Very dope iteration of the 23. I’d love to get a pair, put it away for 8 months and break necks next June! Too dope!

I don’t dislike it, but I don’t think highly of it either. In my opinion, the CP3 X is just “meh”.

Russell Westbrook’s always-unique style sensibilities are reflected on his signature lifestyle footwear once again for the all new Jordan Westbrook 0.2 this fall. Previewed in detail earlier today in a “Bred” colorway, we can now report that at least one version of the follow-up to the Westbrook 0 is dropping this weekend: the “Camo” look you see here. The high-top design featuring a simple yet distinct paneled upper is presented in black suede and camo, all sitting atop the original Nike Vandal (or Jordan 1 KO) tooling in off-white.

Judging by the sneaker community’s reception to last year’s Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard, you would think that the shoe was an instant classic. It earned that distinction by balancing everything that Jordans demand in an non-OG Air Jordan 1: high quality materials, excellent color blocking and a story that taps into Michael Jordan’s past (although some would argue this was too much of a deep dive). This weekend, Jordan Brand looks replicate some of that magic by releasing another Air Jordan 1 that everybody has dubbed the “Reverse Shattered Backboard”. If you really think about that name, it actually means the backboard didn’t shatter, but whatever…

The shoe features a similar color blocking style as the iconic Air Jordan 1 Chicago. In fact, without the Shattered Backboard name, you could argue this is a “what if?” sneaker the posits what might have been if MJ had played for an NBA team that wore orange instead of red. Would we be looking at “Borange” instead of “Bred” today?

With this year marking the celebration of the Air Jordan 12, more variations continue to be unveiled, as this latest rendition consists of a low-top in a brand new colorway.

Sporting a predominantly grey hue across what seems to be a nubuck-based upper and leather overlays along the forefoot, the monochromatic makeup is complemented with hints of navy blue and yellow gracing the rear, insoles and outsole unit. The colorway also suggests to be a nod to Jordan Brand?s newest partnership with the University of Michigan.

Update: (9/16) According to rumors, the sneaker is suggested to make its arrival sometime during early 2017.

Renz Ofiaza, News: This silhouette is one my favorite sneakers, but, this colorway isn’t that appealing in my view. I’m not a fan of the colors and I guess it’s a good thing this is limited to GS pairs only.

Russell Westbrook is already a top MVP candidate after Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors this off-season, but we still have to wait a few more weeks before we see Russ and the new look Thunder in action. In the meantime, Jordan Brand has kept Russell busy with an appearance on Jimmy Fallon, where the late show host was wearing the new Jordan Westbrook 0.2 “Banned” colorway.

The obvious inspiration behind the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 was the recently released retro Air Jordan 1 “Banned”, but today we get a better look at the lifestyle creation featuring a toecap inspired by the Air Jordan 7, premium suede panels, and waxed laces for an improvement on Russell’s first casual silhouette with the Jumpman. If you can’t wait for a release later this month, you can find Russell Westbrook’s latest lifestyle creation right now on eBay.

There’s no such thing as slowing down when it comes to the Air Jordan 12 this year. After dropping the Wool and OVO pairs this past weekend, Jordan Brand returns with another GS exclusive colorway for this upcoming weekend.

Covered in a premium tumbled leather throughout the upper, this Air Jordan 12 may or may not be inspired by Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets as Blue Cap dominates the leather upper.

Not sure what JB was thinking with this colorway. If the majority of the shoe was done in white with blue & purple serving as the accent colors it would have looked much better. I?m sure lots of guys would have even picked up a pair.
