You knew it was bound to happen. You knew it was only a matter of time. Here’a a first look at the Jordan Future Boot in the classic Black and Red colorway, also known as the Bred makeup.

The Jordan Future Boot rocks a Black woven-like upper, while the hits of Red can be seen on the inside of the tongue as well as on the outsole. A Grey midsole with Black speckles on it breaks up the two-toned look of the boot. Tonal laces, eyelets and branding on the leather tag on the tongue keep everything in order. Also worth mentioning, the boot’s upper appears to be weatherproof as the “eVent Waterproof” tag on the heel suggests. Will this color scheme have people talking about the boot (in a good way)? Stay tuned as a release date for this pair is sure to follow.

Author’s Take

I’m just not a fan of the woven-like construction. The suede pairs are cool, but I just can’t get behind these pairs. I prefer more of a tonal look.

We just got a hold of the rumors circulating stating that yet another classic colorway of the Air Jordan 12 is releasing later on this year. Jordan Brand is said to be bringing back none other than the Air Jordan 12 Flint Grey sometime during the month of November!

The last time we saw this shoe get a release was back in 2014 when they retailed for $135! More than 12 years later, the shoe appears to be making a return. Simple in color scheme, the shoe dons a White leather upper offset by the Flint Grey placed on the mudguard region of the shoe. Even more of the same Grey takes care of the majority of the sole unit. Metal eyelets and branding on the tongue and heel complete the subtle look of the shoe. No exact release date or confirmation of release for that matter, but stay tuned as more info will soon drop regarding this breaking news.

Note: The Air Jordan 12 Flint Grey pictured above is NOT the 2016 release.

Classic colorway. I’d be down to make this my second pair of 12s this year.

The Jordan Future Boot has been getting a lot of press as of late. It seems like a new colorway is surfacing every couple of days. The early consensus show that you either love it or hate it, with the majority of the people being on the latter group. Perhaps this newer version of the Future Boot will help you look at the boot from a different light.

The Air Jordan11/Jordan Future inspired boot ditches the woven-like upper this time around in favor of a more traditional boot “look”. The boot is seen dressed in a Sandy Brown upper done in what appears to be a suede-like construction. The new material used on the upper is sure to have more people paying closer attention to the boot, right? The Air Jordan 11 sole unit is still present down low to help give the boot that lifestyle vibe. Set to release on September 22, let us know if you like what you see.

Much better. The suede upper and tonal sole gives the boot more of a classic look. You can’t even tell they’re Jordans, which is actually a good thing when it comes to a boot.

Fans of the Air Jordan 9, rejoice. Jordan Brand has continued to surprise us throughout 2016 with a dedication to true and through OG retro releases, and it doesn’t look like the Jumpman is going to stop anytime soon. From the Space Jam 11s coming this Holiday season to past releases like the White/Cement 4s and even the recently released Banned 1s, traditionalists are having a field day with all of the nostalgic ‘Nike Air’ branded goodness. Now the Jordan 9 Retro OG will release on December 3rd for a perfect addition to anyone’s rotation.

The Jordan 9 occupies a strange place in the Jordan signature series given that it came at a time when Michael Jordan was busy focussing on his baseball career after abruptly retiring from basketball. Tinker Hatfield and Nike decided to move on without no.23, creating his 9th signature model even though they believed that Mike may never play hoops professionally again. The pair still came in a signature ‘Chicago’ inspired colorway too, with a white upper accented by a high-contrast black midsole and outsole unit with True Red branding.

Stay tuned for a better look at this upcoming Jordan release in the coming weeks and let us know if you’re excited about the Jordan 9 Retro OG’s imminent return by taking your thoughts to the comments section below.

Miami-based SoleFly recently collaborated with Jordan Brand when they released two colorways of the Jordan Eclipse dressed in new woven uppers.

Now it appears that the two will be teaming up yet again as Solefly has just teased at another collaboration, this time inspired by sports. Solefly posted a video of when the Florida Marlins won their first ever World Series back in 1997. There is no word on what shoe will be used in this collaboration or the colorways, but by their tweet we expect it to be inspired by the Marlins.

The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam won’t be the only Air Jordan 11 releasing during the 2016 Holiday season. There will also be a wool covered Air Jordan 11 hitting retailers to go along with the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 12 that we’ve already seen from this wool collection.

There are no images just yet of the Air Jordan 11 Wool but it is believed to be constructed with a full wool upper and is expected to retail for a whopping $400.

I look forward to seeing what this Air Jordan 11 looks like, but if that $400 price tag is true then I’ll have to pass on them.

The Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard” has been a surprising fan-favorite thanks to a combination of premium materials and an interesting backstory that few people knew about before the colorway released. Now Jordan Brand is reviving the colorway for its latest Air Jordan 31, as the Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard will release on October 1st for $185 USD.

We’ve seen Carmelo Anthony preview the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard, a more “Chicago” like color blocking when compared to its predecessor which used the Jordan 1 Black Toe as a blueprint. Here the Air Jordan XXX1 showcases its lifestyle sensibilities with an outsole that’s somewhere in between Sail and Gum on the color spectrum. The upper utilizes that signature Starfish Orange shade on the bolstered leather heel while a black midsection hides a Swoosh to match the Jumpman branding.

The Air Jordan XVI is making a comeback in the near future, and now we have word that the retro will retail at $250 USD. This “Midnight Navy” colorway was almost retroed in 2014 but Jordan Brand decided to hold off for some unknown reason. It’s one of the many post-Bulls retros that fans of the 21st Century Jordan wave are patiently waiting for, but how do you feel about this Jordan 16 colorway?

The Air Jordan 16 “Midnight Navy” is finely crafted with a premium white tumbled leather upper including the replaceable protective shroud. It’s worth noting that the recent Air Jordan 17 “Copper” retro was also available at retailers for $250 USD but lacked the additional overlay. So is the latest Air Jordan XVI “Midnight Navy” retro a good deal in your opinion?

Check out more photos of this upcoming Jordan 16 after the break (the photos are from the 2014 sample that didn’t make it to retail shelves) and stay updated on the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general and I think this colorway is pretty solid. The tones work well together and I guess I?m just biased.

After Russell Westbrook gave us a sneak peek, our first look at the Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard in its entirety is now revealed.

As its official moniker suggests, this particular colorway on the basketball sneaker is simply inspired by the popular Air Jordan 1 ?Shattered Backboard”, a nod to MJ’s infamous dunk back in 1985 which simply shattered the backboard.

The sneaker is essentially draped in a similar color scheme, with black and orange dominant across its woven and synthetic leather upper, alongside pops of white utilized for the faded swoosh. In addition a ?Shattered Backboard? graphic is evident on the inner tongues to further coordinate with its respective, while it’s topped off by gum rubber translucent outsoles.

Retailing for $185, you can expect to find this standout pair at select JB and Nike accounts starting October 1st.

Author’s Take

The model has been rendered in appealing colorways so far and this is another solid option to come. This pair might be the best one so far, maybe because of the gum bottom.

TJ Perkins shocked the wrestling world when he became the winner of the first-ever WWE Cruiserweight Classic on Wednesday night, a 32-man tournament that aired throughout the summer on the WWE Network. The Filipino-American worked double duty in the finale, defeating both tourney favorite Kota Ibushi in the semifinal in an instant classic and Gran Metalik in the championship round. And in another surprise (because WWE lives for this stuff), Perkins not only takes home the trophy, but a newly introduced Cruiserweight Championship. Perkins will be bringing that title with him to Monday Night Raw when the new Cruiserweight Division debuts next week.

While Perkins is a relative unknown to most casual wrestling fans (the CWC was my first exposure to him and most of the wrestlers in the tourney), he is an 18-year veteran who started at a very young age and traveled all around the world honing his craft in various promotions. He is also known for having a colorful set of gear that’s complimented by basketball kicks. Most recently he’s been wearing various colorways of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite, including the Hero, Gold and What The. But for the finale he broke out the Air Jordan XXX1 USA to match his Philippines-inspired gear. Because get it? He’s Filipino-America… Ok, I’ll stop…

Looks like Enzo Amore and Shane McMahon might have competition for the title of top WWE sneakerhead when Perkins makes the leap to big time. What kicks will he rock to match his newly minted Cruiserweight Championship? Might we suggest the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low Michael Jackson Prince?

Playoff baseball is almost here, and it looks like Miami sneaker shop SoleFly is ready to celebrate with an Air Jordan collab celebrating their local World Series history.

No word yet on what Jordan model will be utilized for what we assume will be a Marlins black and teal colorway, so stay tuned for further details.

Have you had the chance to take a look at the brand new upcoming Jordan Future Boot creation. Inspired by the Jordan Future lifestyle shoe that dropped a while back, Jordan Brand creates a boot version of the lifestyle model. Dropping this Fall/Winter season, here’s our latest look at the boot.

Coming with an upper constructed to weather resistant, the boot comes in Black or Burgundy. The woven-like construction also comes with 3M reflective hits placed on the boot laces. Below you will find an Air Jordan 11 inspired sole unit to help give it some of that lifestyle flare. Does this have potential to be a dope release, or is this a complete flop?

If this is Jordan Brand’s response to the Yeezy Boot, they failed, and this is coming from someone who isn’t a fan of the Yeezy Boost. Come on Jordan Brand, are you for real?

Can you believe that Chris Paul already has 9 signature shoes with Jordan Brand?! Time flies, huh? Chris Paul has been in the NBA since 2005 and this upcoming 2017 season he will be wearing signature shoe #10. Today we get our first unofficial look at the Jordan CP3 X.

The first thing I notice on the shoe’s design is the swirl embossed print placed on the lateral sides of the shoe. Right in front of the said design is a large Jumpman used as the only source of (visible) branding. The design on the overlay is made out of a ribbed synthetic overlay which also extends down to the midsole. The speckling breaks up the tonal look, while Dynamic Flywire cables are also used for added stability. The rest of the shoe appears to be made out of a Jacquard woven construction to give the model a lightweight feel. Stay tuned to find out when the Jordan CP3 X get an official release date.

First look, not very impressive. Nothing really stands out, and I’m not a fan of the branding placement. Damn. That sucks.
