A Sneak Peak At The Air Jordan 12 3M Reflective

AIR JORDAN 12 3M REFLECTIVE 3 AIR JORDAN 12 3M REFLECTIVE 1 AIR JORDAN 12 3M REFLECTIVE 2

Anyone tired of Air Jordan 12s yet? If you’re still feenin’ for more, they’re comin’ right up! Said to be a limited edition release, here is a sneak peak at what is currently known as the Air Jordan 12 3M Reflective.

This special version of the Jordan 12 has the model’s White upper done in 3M fashion, that means the entire shoe lights up when flash/light hits it. Aside from the White/3M upper, the shoe also comes with hits of Black detailing throughout, some pretty cool wood lace tips and Gold detailing all around the shoe. Although it’s not confirmed yet, features such as the special foreign branding on the tongue leads us to believe that this retro release could end up being a China exclusive. No word on when these drop, but stay tuned and we’ll have that info for you as soon as it becomes available. Thoughts on the Air Jordan 12 3M Reflective? Dope or too flashy?

Author’s Take

I’m not crazy about the 3M upper, but when it’s not lit, it’s just a Jordan 12 with a White upper. Nothing to innovative about that, right?

Whos Ready For The Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday

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

Earlier this week it was reported that the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday release date has been pushed up to October 8th. That means that people who were patiently waiting for these to drop only have to wait for two more weeks! It’s been a cool minute since Jordan Brand has dropped a Jordan 3 (2 years), but the wait is finally over.

Just like it’s Cyber Monday counterpart that dropped last year (Air Jordan 1), the Cyber Monday of the Air Jordan 3 comes in a Black and White color scheme. A Black premium leather takes care of the entire upper including the laces, lining and branding, while sharp contrast is created by placing the upper on top of an all-White sole unit. Although simple in colorway, the shoe lets its quality do all the talking. Dropping on October 8th for $190, make sure you visit our Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday hub page for all the latest news, info and images of this upcoming drop.

Author’s Take

I’ve heard good things about the quality and feel of the leather, but it’s still too plain for me. I love the Jordan 3, but I feel like something’s missing in this pair. Maybe a gum bottom would have helped, but as of right now, this is a pass for me.

Author’s Take

I?m biased towards the silhouette and even though it looks somewhat boring, the colorway is a classic. I?m not really into it that much yet, but, I?ll still probably purchase since it?s a simple and clean offering.

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

The Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard has arrived at select accounts overseas first, while the sneaker will make its debut stateside by next weekend.

Flaunting a color scheme that is similar to the iconic ?Chicago? theme, this palette however, is inspired by the infamous jersey that MJ wore during an exhibition match in Italy during 1985, although flaunting a reverse finish. Composed of premium tumbled and smooth leather, the vibrant profile is nicely subdued by black accents gracing the Swooshes, wings logo, collar section and laces.

Priced at $160, you can purchase this standout pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, October 8th. Men’s sizing will be only offered.

The Air Jordan 12 Playoff edition is expected to return next year as part of JB’s standout Spring 2017 lineup, although this time, in a new low-top profile.

Showcasing its initial look, the sneaker seems to stay true to its original makeup. The basketball silhouette is rendered in a simplistic color scheme of black and white across its premium leather upper, mudguard and throughout its rubber sole unit. Contrasting accents are evidenced with metallic silver metal eyelets are added, in addition to pops of varsity red gracing the tongue branding, ?23? PE and heel tab.

Expect this model to debut at select JB and Nike stockists sometime during Spring 2017.

More iterations of the Air Jordan 12 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 hits of navy blue and yellow accents gracing the rear, insoles and outsole.

Perhaps this may be a nod to Jordan Brand?s newest partnership with Michigan, the release date for this pair is suggested to be sometime during Spring 2017.

I don’t really like the sneaker in this low-cut profile, but, I do like the tonal finish. I would’ve preferred it on its original profile.

Author’s Take

I like the new wool construction on the Air Jordan 12 but I think it would have looked better in all-black. So I won?t be spending $200 plus tax since I don?t ?really? like it. Also I don’t see myself wearing this shoe that much if I were to buy it.

Back in 2013 Russell Westbrook broke out a Oklahoma City Thunder PE colorway of the Air Jordan 3 as the Thunder faced the Los Angeles Lakers. After seeing that exclsuive colorway for that one game, we have not seen it ever since. Until today.

Pictured above are detailed images of that very same shoe that was worn by the current face of Jordan Brand. This Thunder-inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 3 features a Black leather upper with blue, yellow, and orange accents to complete the Thunder look. The traditional elephant print in black and grey is also seen on the toe and ankle/heel. It’s being said that only about 10 pairs of these are in existence with four of them belonging to Russell Westbrook. The pair above belongs to sneaker collector and photographer Anthony Jordan and the others were given out to “friends and family.”

Take a detailed look at the shoe above and let us know your thoughts.
