Shane McMahons’ ceremonious return to the WWE back in February was emphasized thanks to a sick rotation of Air Jordan footwear. Now the commissioner of WWE Smackdown Live, Shane-O-Mac has been known to wear Jordans throughout his active years, most notable being the True Blue 3s in his infamous off-the-top-rope elbow slams and his jigs down the ramp and in the ring. In the most recent segment of Sneaker Shopping with Complex, Shane joins Joe La Puma for a bout of sneaker history and shopping in Flight Club, and it’s no surprise that the WWE legend’s knowledge is simply unmatched when it comes to guests on this shoe. Peep the full episode ahead to see what went down.

Today we get a look at the Space Jam 11’s packaging. The special edition box features unique ’23’ cartoon artwork while the usual slide out feature returns for yet another release. Added ’45’ wrapping paper pays homage to when this pair first appeared – during the 1995 playoffs against the Orlando Magic. What do you think of this year’s Air Jordan 11 Space Jam?

With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, concluding on the August 21st, this special edition Air Jordan 5 will be offered just a day before the closing ceremony to commemorate the global sporting event.

Evoking first-place vibes, the silhouette?s defining metallic gold element is prominent on the tongue, lace lock and the shark tooth-inspired component across its midsole unit. Pristine white leather for its upper, alongside contrasting black accents on the midsole unit and inner lining solidify the clean palette, as it’s topped off with an icy translucent outsole.

Priced at $190 — GS (3.5Y ? 7Y), PS (11c ? 3Y) and TD (2c ? 10c) sizes will be offered as well and listed at $140, $80 and $60, respectively.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general. I really like the execution on this pair. I?m all for the clean upper and how the gold accents are subtle.

Don’t look now, but the Air Jordan 5 Olympic is less than one week away! We found out about this shoe quite some time ago, so it’s kind of crazy to see the shoe releasing next Saturday.

Inspired by the Gold Medal the best of the best get at the Summer Olympics, the shoe is done in a White leather upper accented by the Black and Metallic Gold hits found throughout the shoe. The Metallic Gold can be seen on the tongue as well as on shark teeth of the midsole. A translucent outsole, clear netting, White laces and Black lining round out the main parts of the shoe. Priced at $190 and releasing next August 20th, be sure to visit our Air Jordan 5 Olympic hub page for additional images and information regarding this release.

The Metallic Gold really looks good on the shoe, but I’m still unsure whether I’m going after a pair or not. I think I’m going to make up my mind last minute.

While the Barons colorway debuted today, another variation of the Air Jordan 12 GS is introduced, as this particular pair is expected to make its arrival sometime later this Fall 2016.

Defined by dark purple dust gracing the outsole, inner lining and laces, the leather upper is comprised of a light blueish tone to cap off its respective colorway. This palette also suggests that it might be inspired by the Charlotte Hornets. Further detailed with metallic silver upper eyelets and matching pull tabs, the retail price is listed at $140.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for an official release date.

Finishing touches include an enlarged Jumpman branding on the heel, alongside more branding on the tongue and bottom.

I?m not really against the shoe?s design. I?m a fan of the simple makeup but the large Jumpman bothers me a bit. This is a nice commemorative colorway though for the host country though.

Initially I did not want the shoe, but the more I look at it, the more I’m on the fence about it. It’s a bold looking shoe. The Gold tongue is everything!

The Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred dropping next month is without a doubt one of the most anticipated releases of all 2016. What other shoe could possibly top this upcoming release? How about a Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal release?! If the latest rumors prove to be true, 2017 could bring us the return of the Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal! How dope could that be?!

The last time the Royal 1s were released was back in 2013. Equipped with OG branding and all, the Royal 1s have got to be one of the most hyped colorways ever released on the Jordan 1s. Coming in a classic Black and Royal Blue color scheme, this remastered version will also come with Nike branding on the tongue, a premium leather construction all while sitting on top of a White midsole and Royal outsole. As of right now, all we know is that the shoe is rumored to release next year, no exact release date yet, but stay tuned as more info begins to surface.

Author’s Take

I could see these releasing next year. Most of the OG Jordan 1s have been dropping ever since Jordan Brand began their remastering initiative, so why not bring back the Royals? It only makes sense.

How many of you still have a clean pair of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money? Being that the shoe dropped 10 years ago and basically comes in an all-White colorway, there’s a good chance that your pair is looking pretty yellow and/or beat. Have no fear though because according to DJ Folk, Jordan Brand is rumored to be bringing back the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money sometime next year!

The Jordan 4 Pure Money comes in an all-White leather upper. The White also extends to the netting, branding, lining, sole unit and laces. The only part of the shoe providing any form of contrast are the shiny metal accents seen on the eyelets and the Jumpman on the heel. If the rumors end up being accurate, is this a must-cop Jordan Brand release for 2017?

Author’s Take

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since this colorway of the 4 dropped. I’m pretty sure many people will be happy if these end up making a return.

The post Will 2017 Bring Back The Return Of The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

We just reported that the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money could be making a return next year, but we’re also happy to announce that even more Air Jordans could also be getting the Pure Money treatment, one of those being the Air Jordan 7.

Rumored to be releasing sometime next year, we’re speculating that the Air Jordan 7 Pure Money will come with a White leather (maybe suede) upper accented by Metallic Silver hits noted on areas such as the branding and/or eyelets. An all-White Air Jordan 7? Is that something you’d be interested in seeing? If you’re looking forward to the potential release of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money, make sure you check back as more information begins to surface.

Author’s Take

It looks like Jordan Brand is planning on having an entire Jordan Pure Money line up. I’m definitely interested in seeing what the shoes end up looking like.

The post Could 2017 Bring An Air Jordan 7 Pure Money Release? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

So let me get this straight. Not only is it being rumored that an Air Jordan 4 Pure Money is releasing next year, but there’s also been talks saying that an Air Jordan 7 Pure Money could also be making a debut in 2017. Now we have word that an Air Jordan 13 Pure Money could also have the potential to be releasing next year?! Damn, it looks like a whole lot of all-White Jordans could end up dropping next year.

Although no official word or images of the Jordan 13 Pure Money have been provided, we’re assuming that this pair will also come in all-White fashion accented by strategically placed Metallic Silver hits. It’s hard to talk about a shoe when you don’t know what it looks like, but just know that this all-White Air Jordan 13 could very well be releasing next year. Excited for this release? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m curious to see what the shoe looks like. It has potential, but it could also end up being just “another” Jordan Brand release.

Jordan Brand took a time machine and traveled back about 20 years to find the inspiration for this colorway of the Air Jordan 12.

Unofficially known as the Barons colorway, it is heavily believed that this Air Jordan 12 is inspired by the minor league baseball team that MJ played for in the mid 90’s. This grade school Air Jordan 12 comes equipped with a White tumbled leather upper and Wolf Grey detailing on the mudguard, outsole, and heel. Hits of Black complete the Barons theme by being placed on the upper eyelets, and the branding on the midsole, tongue, and heel.

You’ll be able to purchase a pair on August 13, 2016 for $140. Make sure you click and bookmark our Air Jordan 12 GS Barons launch page for the latest images, release information and important updates.

Decent colorway of the Air Jordan 12 but there?s nothing about it that makes me feel like I need it. I?ll pass on these.

Earlier this year, Jordan Brand celebrated the career of Kobe Bryant with an amazing collection of Air Jordans made just for The Black Mamba. Well, most of them were made just for the Black Mamba. A pair of Jordans, the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8 to be more specific, that Kobe actually wore during the 2002-03 NBA season during his sneaker free agency got a slightly wider release. And by slightly wider release, we mean that the two-pack made their way to a very exclusive club of celebrities and friends of the program complete with special packaging.

With a box set that looks like it was made for a retail release at some point, we have yet to hear word if sneakerheads will ever get a chance to cop the white, purple and Laker gold Jordans. Such a unique place in Jordan Brand and Kobe’s history will forever be desired by the community, but will the trigger ever be pulled for what will surely be an instant sell out no matter how much or little they make? Time will tell and hopefully this video will remind Nike of what the people want.

The closer I take a look at both pairs the more I like the white one better than the black. I still wouldn’t buy a pair for $150 though.
