For all our readers who rock grade school sizes, we have good news and bad news regarding the upcoming and highly anticipated release of the Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred. The good news is that the shoe will release in your size. The bad news is that the quality of the shoe appears to be a bit subpar when comparing it to the adult-sized version.

If you take a look at the images above you will see that both images are a pair of the Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred. If you take a closer look you will notice that the leathers used vary in texture and quality. The first image shows the GS version of the shoe. The leather sort of looks like the leather used on the 2013 version. The second pair shows the shoe in adult sizes, which shows the shoe using the more textured and premium leather that truly gives the shoe that remastered look. For all you GS-footers out there, is thing going to stop you from picking up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

Be sure to check out our Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred (2016) hub page for latest images and information regarding this upcoming release.

Author’s Take

It’s a Bred 1 with Nike branding on it. I don’t think it matter what kind of leather they use. The GS pairs will sell out with the quickness. The hype and history of the shoe it too real.

As you may already know, legendary sports analyst and sideline reporter Craig Sager is going through some rough times as he’s currently battling leukemia.

Jordan Brand decided to create a special colorway of the Air Jordan 1 for the living legend that takes inspiration from Sager’s unique and extravagant signature wardrobe. According to DJ Khaled (who owns this pair), there is only 2 pairs in existence. A variety of prints/patterns cover this Air Jordan 1 that we typically see worn by Craig Sager. The shoe is then finished off with “SAGER” “VISION” written on the translucent outsoles.

Only 2 made for now ..Thank u Craig Sager and Reggie saunders #SAGERVISON @jumpman23 @SneakerNews @ComplexSneakers pic.twitter.com/9JxtlBKbNs

With about four months to go, the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat will finally make its debut, but, in the meantime, more images of the forthcoming pair continue to be unveiled.

Emphasizing the model’s stealthy build, black leather with enlarged perforations to promote sufficient ventilation comprises its construction, while the sneaker is subtly contrasted with white accents gracing the midsole unit, underlays and Jumpman branding ? unlike the all-black AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions. Although not shown in this gallery, a graphic of its respective theme is situated on the insoles to finish off the design.

Retailing for $190, the sneaker is set to make its debut at select Nike and JB stockists on New Year?s Eve, December 31st, 2016.

The colorway is pretty versatile and suitable for everyday wear. This model should get a lot of attention. I only dislike the enlarged perforations a bit.

The classic Air Jordan 9 will be revived in one of its original colorways this Holiday 2016.

With this particular pair introduced back in 1993, followed by a first retro release in 2002 and then in 2010 — this forthcoming variation essentially stays true to its classic counterpart. A timeless palette of black and white is utilized for its leather upper, while a hint of vibrance such as red adorning the tongue branding, Jumpman logo across the heel and more branding on the rear perfectly complements its respective theme.

Priced at $190, you buy a pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, December 3.

You can?t go wrong with classics. I?m a fan of the model and colorway overall. If you missed out on the previous releases, then look forward to the drop in a couple months.

In celebration of the 31st Olympiad, which recently concluded this past Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low essentially commemorates the global sporting event.

Contrasting hits of black adorn the inner lining and tongue, as it?s all topped off with a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole.

I?m not that really into the silhouette in a low-cut profile aside from the recent varsity red and navy/gum colorways, but, I like this style even more in this finish. I also like how leather is applied on the upper.

The most colorful man in the history of sports sideline reporting just got blessed with some Jordans that are equally as vibrant. These Air Jordan 1s are a tribute to Sager, who is currently battling leukemia in a heroic manner. He has the support of the entire sports and media world, and these Jordans are just the start of all the love he deserves. DJ Khaled revealed these super-limited AJ1s, with an icy outsole revealing “Sager Vision” on the soles of shoes. Peep a better look ahead.

In three short days we’ll be seeing the release of what may be the most anticipated Air Jordan 11 release of the year, yes even more anticipated than the Space Jams.

Covered in a white tumbled leather upper, this Olympic-inspired Air Jordan 11 Low gets a bright pop thanks to the addition of Metallic Gold on the patent leather mudguard and the Jordan branding that appears on the tongue and heel. A Black inner liner, white midsole, and icy blue translucent outsole complete this simple but eye-catching colorway of the Air Jordan 11 Low. You can pick up your pair on August 27th for a retail price of $170 for men and $130 for kids.

I was a fan of these 11s when I first saw them but then I realized that if I were to buy them I probably wouldn?t wear them that much. I?ll just save my $170 and pick up the Bred 1s next week instead.

Does this colorway of the Air Jordan 17 look familiar to you? If it doesn’t then that’s because it’s a sample colorway that was created back in 2000 that was never released to the public.

This Air Jordan 17 Low features a grey leather and nubuck upper with red accents on the inner bootie and midsole. Grey laces, black branding, a chrome heel counter, and a white outsole complete the look on this Air Jordan 17 that will probably never see a retail release.

What are your thoughts on this colorway of the Air Jordan 17 Low? Would you cop of they ever released to the masses?

Author’s Take

I think this pair looks better than the Bulls colorway that released earlier this year. Would I actually buy it though? I’m not too sure I would.

There’s a new colorway of the Air Jordan 5 releasing in grade school sizes, and this is one that I’m sure many guys won’t be too happy about.

This new Air Jordan 5 resembles the Raptors/True Red colorway of the Air Jordan 7 and comes with a Black nubuck upper as well as a black tongue. Purple then lands on the midsole and inner liner, while red accents on the midsole shark teeth and the Jumpman branding finish off the retro Raptors color scheme. The Air Jordan 5 GS Raptors is expected to release on September 17, 2016 for $140. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I’ve been a die-hard Toronto Raptors fan for over 16 years now. These are a MUST for me.

The post Is This Upcoming Colorway Of The Air Jordan 5 Inspired By The Toronto Raptors? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” was as 90s a sneaker release as any. The shoe ditched traditional Chicago Bulls colorways to welcome the latest expansion franchise to the NBA in an unofficial way – but the combination of black, purple, and red throughout was undoubtedly an homage to the Canadian team if there ever was one. We haven’t seen the retro since 2012, but now Jordan Brand is hinting at the iconic colorway with this upcoming girl’s exclusive Air Jordan 5 Raptors slated to release this September.

The Air Jordan 5 Raptors is enough to make those in adult sizes jealous. A black upper matches the tongue while a vibrant purple lining and midsole work perfectly with Bright Crimson accents on the Jumpman branding and Mustang fighter jet inspired speckled shark teeth. A traditional semi-translucent mesh ventilation system hits the side panel and tongue as to not complicate things. What do you think of the Air Jordan 5 Raptors? Be sure to stay tuned for more of the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Following a lifestyle editorial, even more images of the 2016 True Blue Air Jordan 3 continue to be revealed, as the basketball sneaker is set to drop in about three months time.

Previously offered in 2011, this forthcoming pair is essentially a remastered variation of its OG counterpart. White tumbled leather dominates the upper, while the signature cement grey overlays is prominent on the toe cap, heel and eye stays. Furthermore, the defining tone is prominent on the inner lining and midsole, as pops of red hit the outsole, tongue and eyelets to further pronounce makeup. Finally, the classic ?Nike Air? branding is seen on the insoles and back heel tab to round out its build.

Priced at $220, you can purchase this standout pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting Black Friday, November 25th.

Jordan Brand’s lifestyle appeal is far and wide, so when the brand announced a new initiative to help push forward women’s and girl’s exclusive colorways a few years back, the move made sense. Since then, we’ve seen plenty of Jordan retros release in pastel pinks and looks with added vibrancy to appeal to the ladies around the world. The Jumpman even created their Jordan Heiress Collection which featured an entire catalog of premium retros with an added touch of lifestyle luxury perfect for everyday wear. Today we get a look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Heiress in a new “Plug Fog” look slated to release September 10th for $110 USD.

The Air Jordan 1 Heiress strays away from traditionalism thanks to a new nylon mesh honeycomb pattern on the delicate Light Bone upper while Plum Fog accents hit the leather panels throughout. Off white branding makes for the perfect refined accent atop this pair for a mature vibe perfect for any occasion. What do you think of the latest Air Jordan 1 Heiress release? Be sure to check out more detailed photos after the break and while you’ll have to wait to pick up this pair on September 10th, you can catch more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.
