Jordan Brand released a couple of retros today including the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian and the Air Jordan 5 GS Raptors.

Unfortunately for many, this colorway of the Air Jordan 5 only released in grade school sizes (extended sizes though) so if you wear bigger than a size 9.5 you weren’t able to fit into this sneaker. Said to be inspired by the Toronto Raptors’ retro uniforms, this colorway of the Air Jordan 5 utilizes black on the upper with red and purple accents to give it that 90’s look.

Retailing for $140 and available at select retailers now, did you pick up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

Another look at the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe is presented, as it’s another classic colorway that’s scheduled to return once again this season.

As suggested, the sneaker’s theme is punctuated by black accents gracing the toe section and flows throughout the eyelets, collar section and signature Swooshes across its side panels. Composed of premium leather throughout its entire profile, the sneaker flaunts white underlays with hits of red adorning the rear section and outsole to round out its respective theme. In addition, OG detailing are present with Nike Air branding on the tongues.

Set to debut at select JB and Nike accounts sometime this November for a price tag of $160, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for an official release date.

Jordan Brand just introduced the AJ 9 in cleat form, exclusively for its NFL athletes, and now, the Air Jordan 12 is slated to receive the makeover next.

This time intended for the MLB, the silhouette essentially retains its recognizable profile intact, with the upper also tweaked with a hint of modern flair. The black-based component bears a blend of carbon fiber and leather throughout, as it’s all adhered atop options of metal or molded cleats.

An official release date has yet to be announced, but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

I would definitely purchase this pair if I was playing baseball back in school. I’ll never forget the custom AJ 11’s that Derek Jeter wore during his career. Overall, these are great looking cleats.

With the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian available today, the next luxe take of the silhouette will be arriving next month in the form of this wheat/ginger colorway.

Essentially draped in a tonal finish across its upper, this variation is reportedly a tribute to the iconic Timberland work boot. Composed of premium leather with matching laces, the model is further detailed with notable Jumpman branding located on the tongue, heel and outsole. In addition, quilted insoles are applied for a more premium feel, as it all rests atop a complementary gum outsole.

Retailing for $400, you can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike stockists starting October 29th.

I think it’s a good looking pair. I’m all for tonal iterations and this colorway just looks great on the silhouette.

Did you ever think that a basketball sneaker like the Air Jordan 4 would take a luxurious approach and be priced at $400? Most of us probably didn’t but the sneaker game is always evolving and basketball sneakers are now worn off the court more than they are on it.

Tomorrow we’ll be seeing the Air Jordan 4 get another luxurious drop to add the the Black Pony Hair and Snakeskin pairs that dropped earlier this year. This time around the iconic sneaker gets outfitted with a quilted leather all throughout the upper in Obsidian with rose gold detailing on the eyelets, and the studs on the heel. A contrasting white sole unit wraps up the look on this Air Jordan 4 that releases tomorrow (September 17th) for a retail price of $400. Will you cop?

Basketball fans up North (way up North) are surely excited to get their hands on this colorway of the Air Jordan 5 that hits retailers tomorrow.

Releasing exclusively in extended GS sizes, this Air Jordan 5 unofficially takes inspiration from the Toronto Raptors. Looking at the shoe we see that a Black nubuck covers the majority of the sneaker while hits of purple and red, an homage to the retro Raptors uniforms from the 90’s, can be seen on the midsole, inner liner, and the branding.

If you can fit up to a 9.5Y (same as a men’s 9.5) then you can purchase this pair of Jordan 5s at select retailers tomorrow (September 17th) for $140.

You already seen plenty of pictures of the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian. The general consensus is that the majority of us love the look and feel of the shoe, we’re just whether we want to drop a car note on it. The $400 price tag is what really makes this a tough impulse decision for most of us. Had these been priced at $400, I can assure you that that would sell out instantly. Does the premium quilted leather construction on the upper and inside of the shoe warrant the $400 price tag? The copper hits, embossed branding and leather laces all help give the shoe even more of a luxury look. With less than 24 hours before the shoes release, are you pulling the trigger and picking up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

It’s really hard to pass on these because they’re beautiful. With that being said, I pray to the sneaker gods that these get slept on so that I can pick them up further down the line for under $300. For those of you who wanted quality on their Jordan, here they are!

The cleat game is suddenly getting much more competitive now that adidas dropped the Yeezy Cleats yesterday. What’s next – NMD cleats? Jordan Brand isn’t new to transforming its classics into on-field ready footwear, and these leaked images reveal that the Air Jordan 12, our nominee for Jordan Retro of the year, is getting the same treatment. This all-black colorway of the Air Jordan 12, which features durable materials and a nylon-like upper, is set to release sometime this Fall. Stay tuned for release updates.

Next week we’ll be seeing the release of the Air Jordan 5 Bronze which appears to be a pair dedicated to the Olympics even though they’re long and gone. About a month ago we saw the release of the Air Jordan 5 Gold Medal which featured a vibrant gold tongue with a white leather upper. As soon as this shoe released, customizers were already putting their own twist on the shoe.

Today we take a look at one of the best customs that uses this colorway of the Air Jordan 5 and it comes from Mache Customs. Mache decided to create a pair of 5s inspired by Ray Allen and his time with the Celtics. Dubbed the Air Jordan 5 Ray Allen Alternate Championship PE, Mache added hits of green on this Air Jordan 5 as well as Allen’s signature by the heel.

Do you like this pair better than the original Gold Medal? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Author’s Take

Not much was done to this custom by Mache, but it’s crazy to see how much a shoe can change with such a small alteration. I’m sure Ray Allen would have loved to wear this pair.

Jordan Brand continues their premium reimagining of some of their most iconic retros with this weekend’s Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian, slated to arrive Saturday, September 17th for $400 USD. While the price may be a bit too far out of some people’s price range, Jordan Brand’s successful push of the Air Jordan 1 Pinnacle series has lead the brand to continue to offer up luxurious leather renditions of the Air Jordan 4.

The Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian benefits from a dark navy quilted leather upper with a white midsole and outsole combination for a simple, refined take on the 1989 classic. Throw in metallic copper accents on the lace eyelets, new bolstered heel, and even the retro Air Jordan hangtag, and quilted Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian is one of the more interesting takes on the Jumpman’s Fall 2016 lineup. Are you a fan of the look?

Check out our full recap video below and know that you can grab your pair tomorrow here.

Many people were happy and excited when we received the news earlier this year that Jordan Brand would be bringing back the Air Jordan 16 this year.

However, those same people probably won’t be happy when they find out what the sneaker will retail for. If you want that feeling of nostalgia, it’s not gonna come cheap. Just like the Air Jordan 17 that was recently given the retro treatment, the Air Jordan 16 will retail for $250. Why? We’ll we’re not exactly sure. That would be the most expensive Air Jordan retro this year aside from all of the “premium” releases that have been priced at $400.

How does this news make you feel? If you were planning on buying the shoe before, will you still be buying it now that it’s confirmed that it will retail for $250?

Author’s Take

I like this pair a bit more than the recent release with pony hair due to the model?s overall makeup and colorway. I just like the utilization of various leather detailing and its tonal finish. Like everyone else, I?m just against that price tag.

Suggested to be inspired by the celebratory medals given in the 31st Olympiad, particularly, third place ? the bronze element is focalized at the tongue and distinctive shark teeth component across its midsole unit.

I like the silhouette overall, but, I?m not too keen for this colorway. If you?re a Raptors fan, this should excite you though.

The Air Jordan 12 OVO White is suggested to arrive sometime during the first quarter of 2017, and so will be a black counterpart.

Essentially similar to the aforementioned pair, the basketball sneaker is comprised of luxe components, such as stingray leather utilized on the forefoot, in addition to premium nubuck dominating the entire blacked-out upper. Furthermore, dark translucent outsoles and gold OVO owls are stamped on the insoles to cap off the respective collaboration.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for a confirmed release date, as this pair is rumored to debut around early 2017.

Author’s Take

One of the best iterations of the sneaker in my opinion, even though it’s only in all-black. I like the material makeup and obviously since this is a collab with Drake, it’ll be highly sought after.
