The Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard Is Releasing Next Month

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

Another detailed gallery of the forthcoming Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard is featured, this time showcasing how it compares to the original colorway, which will also be evident on the next iteration of the AJ 31 next month.

Essentially inspired by the infamous jersey that MJ wore during an exhibition match in Italy during 1985, this variation, however, is treated in a reverse finish and boasts a similar color coordination that is evident on the iconic ?Chicago? theme. Premium tumbled and smooth leather comprises the sneaker’s profile, while black accents are more focalized on the Swooshes, wings logo, collar section and laces.

You can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike retailers on October 8th for $160.

Detailed Images Of The Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday

The Air Jordan 3 will be returning in an all-new colorway this Fall 2016, after a brief two year hiatus from production.

As the moniker suggests, it won?t coincide with the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday, since the sneaker is expected to make its debut in the coming weeks ahead instead. Draped in a simplistic two-tone finish, the sneaker?s smooth and textured leather is rendered in black, while it?s juxtaposed atop a clean white rubber sole unit.

Notable elements include the classic Jumpman embroidery on the tongue and insoles, while the rear portion bears a Jumpman branded patch treated in a matte finish.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike retailers on October 15th.

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.

A Closer Look At The Packaging For The 2016 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam

AIR JORDAN 11 1 AIR JORDAN 11 2 AIR JORDAN 11 3 AIR JORDAN 11 4 AIR JORDAN 11 5 AIR JORDAN 11 6 AIR JORDAN 11 7 AIR JORDAN 11 8 AIR JORDAN 11 9 AIR JORDAN 11 10 AIR JORDAN 11 11 AIR JORDAN 11 12 AIR JORDAN 11 13 AIR JORDAN 11 14 AIR JORDAN 11 15 AIR JORDAN 11 16 AIR JORDAN 11 17

We’re getting closer and closer to the release of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam which is sure to be one of the most sought after sneaker releases of 2016.

Returning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, here we take a closer look at the packaging that the sneaker will be housed in. We know not everyone cares about the box and what comes inside the box aside from the shoes, but at the same time there’s lots of people that do. Plus it’s always cool to get extra stuff, it just makes the release a little more meaningful. The packaging/box features a Space Jam/Looney Tunes theme along with special wrapping paper and a box with a “45” on it and galaxy print on the inside of the box.

Take a look at the latest images above and let us know if you plan on buying a pair when they release in December. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 11 Space Jam 2016 launch page now for more images, videos and release details.

Close Up Images Of The Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger

AIR JORDAN 4 1 AIR JORDAN 4 2 AIR JORDAN 4 3 AIR JORDAN 4 4 AIR JORDAN 4 5 AIR JORDAN 4 6 AIR JORDAN 4 7

Last week Jordan Brand gave us another premium Air Jordan 4 release with the Obsidian colorway that featured a luxurious quilted leather upper done in a nice shade of blue that will be perfect for the Fall season.

Next month we’ll see the next installment in the Air Jordan 4 Premium series with the release of the Ginger/Wheat colorway. This Air Jordan 4 comes dressed in a premium leather upper that has been given the tonal look as a Ginger/Wheat hue has been applied all throughout that resembles the iconic Timberland boot. Leather laces, perforation detailing, a quilted leather insole, and a gum outsole are a few of the details that finish off this Air Jordan 4.

At the moment this Fall-inspired Air Jordan 4 is scheduled to release on October 29th for $400. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger launch page now for the latest images, information and release details.

Author’s Take

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.

WWE Kicks: TJ Perkins Wears Air Jordan 6 Infrared To Clash Of Champions

When you’re the newly minted WWE Cruiserweight Champion that’s about to make his debut at a pay-per-view, you bring out the special kicks to fit the occasion. Shane McMahon did it right with one-of-a-kind Air Jordan XXX PEs for Wrestlemania 32 and Enzo Amore, well, Enzo treats every event like a special occasion. TJ Perkins won the critically-acclaimed Cruiserweight Classic in the Air Jordan XXX1 USA and it looks like he might be going to the Jordan Brand well again for his debut on the main roster.

In an Instagram post earlier today, Perkins was wearing the Air Jordan 6 Infrared prior to the show. On his Twitter feed, it looked like he was originally going to wear the Nike Kobe 10 What The but changed his mind at the last minute. Whether or not Perkins will wear the Infareds to the ring later tonight remains to be seen, but he has said in the past that these are one of his favorite kicks.

OVO x Air Jordan Hydro Slides Are Also Releasing

ovo jordan slides 1 ovo jordan slides 2

Not to be outdone by this weekend’s Yeezy drop, Jordan Brand also had a big announcement this weekend, in the form of letting everyone know that the Air Jordan 12 OVO White will actually release and will be doing so next weekend! Many of us have wanted this shoe to drop for the longest time, and now it’s less than a week away.

If you love all things OVO x Jordan, we also got work that the Drake x Jordan collaboration could also be dropping a pair of slides to go along with your upcoming potential purchase. The OVO x Air Jordan Hydro Slide features the same color scheme as next weekend’s biggest drop as a White and Gold makeup takes care of the entire slide. OVO embroidery appear on the cross-straps, while Jumpman branding can be seen on the lateral side. We’re assuming these will drop around the same time that the Air Jordan 12 OVO White, are you getting a pair?

Earlier this month, Russell Westbrook was in China promoting the release of the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 31 Banned. While he was there he was wearing not one, but two different colorways of the Jordan Westbrook 0.2. One of those colorways happens to be the one you see above. Today we get a closer look at the shoe.

As most of you know, the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 is not a basketball/performance shoe, it’s more of a lifestyle offering createe for everyday casual use. This colorway has the shoe come in a Black and Camo motif where the Black takes care of the majority of the shoe, while the Camo can be found on the collar/heel, midfoot and tongue. Although no official images have been provided by Jordan Brand, Westbrook has been spotted wearing the model more than just a few times.

A Sneak Peak At The Air Jordan 6 Chameleon

Just yesterday we gave you a first look at a GS version of the Air Jordan 6 that has the shoe come in a Navy suede upper. One day later we have another upcoming Air Jordan 6 to share with you. Said to be named the Air Jordan 6 Chameleon, here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come.

The only pictures provided show the lateral side and heel area of the  Air Jordan 6 Chameleon. The shoe appears to be constructed out of a Black leather. The heel shoes a blacked-out Jumpman inside a hexagon shape. Perforations appear on the leather side panels, while the laces and tongue also appear to come in Black. The only part of the shoe that has the Chameleon theme is found on the lace tips. We’re pretty sure more of the Chameleon motif is placed on the shoe, we just know know where (yet). Thoughts? Stay tuned as more images begin to surface.
