So we already know that Space Jam 2 is in the works and LeBron James will be taking over Michael Jordan’s role as the lead character/actor in the highly anticipated sequel.

But what does Michael Jordan think about LeBron being his successor? He was recently asked who he would have liked to see in the main role for Space Jam 2. His answer? Blake Griffin. Does this possibly have something to do with Blake being part of Jordan Brand??? Check out the video below. Who do you think should have replaced MJ in Space Jam 2?

Jimmy Butler and the USA Men’s Basketball Team played in their final exhibition game against Nigeria last night and once again had their dominance in full display. They are now ready to head to Rio where the Olympic will kicks off this weekend.

The only players on Team USA that will be representing for the Jumpman are Jimmy Butler and Carmelo Anthony. We can expect both stars to be wearing a few different colorways of the all-new Air Jordan 31. Recently Jimmy Butler was spotted wearing a new Olympic colorway of the sneaker that we see pictured above. The shoe features a white to blue gradient effect on the Flyweave upper with red accents. We’ll probably be seeing Jimmy and Melo both wear this pair or at least something every similar in Rio as they try to capture gold for Team USA.

Also don’t forget that the Air Jordan 31 USA will be releasing next week.

While we previously showcased an initial look, official images of the modernized Air Jordan 1, dubbed, the Ultra High, has now released.

Treated in two versatile colorways — White/Metallic Gold Coin/Black-Pure Platinum and the other in Black/Ghost Green/Blue Lagoon-Infrared 23 — the silhouettes are comprised of new textile construction, while it also features an extended bootie and pull-tab system that correlates with footwear trends of today.

Topped off with a crisp white rubber sole unit, you can purchase these pairs at select JB and Nike stockists starting Saturday, August 13th for a price tag of $150 each.

I’m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, these offerings are pretty solid. The build and inner bootie construction looks great, and the colorways are versatile overall.

This original colorway of the Air Jordan 14 is set to be offered to the public once again, as we’re only less than two weeks away from its official debut.

First seen on 1999, this remastered iteration of the basketball silhouette essentially stays true to its OG makeup. Black is predominant throughout its premium leather and durabuck construction, while the defining hue is prominent on the signature shield logo along the collar, branding of its tongue, miniature Jumpman on the toe box and a portion of the heel tab.

All adhered atop a crisp white outsole unit, the model is scheduled to drop at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, August 13th for price tag of $190.

I never really liked the silhouette much before, but, I think it?s growing on me since I?ve also grown older, haha. This colorway is appealing and classic. It should get the attention it deserves.

The post The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo Debuts Next Weekend appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Jordan 14 Indiglo is almost here. Jordan Brand surprised plenty of fans when they announced that they’d be bringing back two of the more peculiar colorways from the Air Jordan 14‘s original 1999 run. We’re speaking of the Oxidized Green and Indiglo colorways, of course.

The new-aged colorways each features simple tumbled leather uppers while bold accents showcased their vibrancy on the Ferrari-inspired Jumpman insignia. The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo tread toward the more ominous side of the two retro selections, with an all black upper camouflaging the aggressive midsole’s ‘teeth’ with a matching suede toecap. That lime green ‘Indiglo’ aesthetic touches the heel and Jordan branding throughout to liven things up.

The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo will arrive at retailers on August 13th for $190 USD. Check out a detailed look below and we’ll keep you updated on more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 1 is making an unexpected comeback in the latter half of 2016 as the “Bred” and “Black-toe” are both confirmed for a release (with rumors of the Royal pair swirling around as well). There’s more to be seen from the Air Jordan 1, like this updated “Ultra” build that removes any leather-like materials and replaces them with lighter, more breathable options as the Ultra designation suggests. What makes these updated AJ1 stand out the most is, of course, the inner ankle bootie and should give these a feel similar to the Mercurial Superfly or the Footscape Magista. Your thoughts on the Air Jordan 1 getting this unique transformation? Stay tuned for a release soon and catch a detailed look right ahead.

We’re now less than four months away from the release of the Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue. Jordan Brand has decided to bring the Air Jordan 3 out of the vault by re-releasing the OG True Blue colorway with the classic Nike Air branding on the heel.

This Jordan Brand release coincides with their recent trend of bringing back classic Nike Air branded models such as the Metallic Sivler 5s that released a couple of weeks ago. You may already be familiar with this colorway of the Air Jordan 3, but you can bet that many people will be going after a pair because it has been quite some time since we’ve seen it drop with Nike Air on the heel.

Take a look at the latest early images and let us know if you plan on buying a pair when it releases on Black Friday, November 25th. Retail price is expected to be $220. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue (Black Friday 2016) launch page now for more images, info and release details.

Author’s Take

I would have pulled the trigger on these if they were the White Cement or Black Cement colorways, but I just don?t feel the need to spend $220 on the True Blue colorway.

The opening ceremony for the 2016 Summer Olympics will take place this upcoming Friday, August 5th with the first competitions officially taking place on Saturday. Jordan Brand will be celebrating in a big way by releasing an upgraded version of the Air Jordan 7 Olympic.

Known as the Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate or Olympic Alternate, this Air Jordan 7 features a patriotic color scheme of red, white, and blue. White and blue dominate the upper of the shoe while red has been added on the midsole, tongue, heel, and inner sock. Gold detailing on the branding completes the Olympic theme on this Jordan retro that will arrive at select retailers on August 6th for a price of $190.

This is a great twist on the classic Olympic colorway, but personally I wouldn?t buy a pair. I’m not too big on Olympic/patriotic sneakers.

It hasn’t been confirmed by Jordan Brand just yet, but it’s pretty much official that the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe will be returning in 2016.

Last released in 2013, this OG colorway of the Air Jordan 1 will now be added to Jordan Brand’s remastered movement and will (hopefully) feature better quality materials than the 2013 release. This Air Jordan 1 utilizes the familiar Chicago Bulls color scheme by placing black on the ankle, eyestay, Swoosh, and toe. White is then seen on the toebox, tongue, side panels, and midsole. Lastly we see red on the heel/ankle, and the outsole. Nike Air branding has been added on the tongue for the OG look.

There is no exact release date yet for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe (2016) but it is expected to release some time in November of this year. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Another pair of Air Jordan 1s that I NEED. I?ve never owned a pair of Black Toes but hopefully this is the year that changes.

Sneaker boutique SoleFly out of Miami released a collaboration with Jordan Brand back in 2014 that featured the Air Jordan 3.

Both parties join forces once again in 2016 to release yet another collaboration. This time it isn’t a retro though, rather SoleFly has decided to give some love to one of Jordan Brand’s latest lifestyle silhouettes, the Jordan Eclipse. The SoleFly x Jordan SP Capsule consists of apparel and two tonal colorways of the Jordan Eclipse each constructed of woven uppers, a first for the silhouette. The color options include tan/brown and pink. It’s being said that each colorway will be limited to only 250 pairs each. Other details include 3M detailing, custom packaging and co-branded insoles.

The SoleFly x Jordan ?SP? Capsule will release on August 13th at a pop-up location in Wynwood, with a wider release online coming at a later date.

The woven look on the Jordan Eclipse gives it an entirely look and it’s pretty dope. I like the tan pair, it reminds me of the Air Jordan Future.

Drake showed out at his #OVOBounce basketball tournament, rocking the Jordan 14 Oregon while sitting courtside. Pro ballers like Stanley Johnson, Brandon Jennings, and Toronto’s own Corey Joseph were all in attendance for one of the premier summer basketball events north of the border, but Drizzy stole the show with his footwear selection.

You may remember that two different renditions of the Air Jordan 14 “Oregon” exclusive were given out to select individuals on the Ducks track and field team. One is the pair pictured here, featuring a grey suede embossed with an all-over print of Ducks logos. The other Jordan 14 Oregon featured a casual olive green upper that more closely resembled past UO player exclusives.

The Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe” is returning to retailers this Holiday 2016 season. Jordan Brand has focused on releasing a plethora of original Air Jordan 1 colorways highlighted by the return of the “Banned” rendition in honor of the Air Jordan 31’s debut this September. While the Jordan XXX1 is heavily inspired by Mike’s first signature silhouette, there’s still nothing like a classic.

We haven’t seen the Jordan 1 Black Toe release since May of 2013 well before the Remastering process was underway. New images from Marqueesole showcase a smooth white leather upper paired with black panels and a Gym Red shade that looks a little bit darker on the color spectrum than the one found in 2013’s release. ‘Nike Air’ tongue callouts and the iconic ‘Wings’ logo round out the perfect pair with matching black branding.

Are you excited about the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe’s imminent return? This original Jordan 1 colorway is slated for a November release. Stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

In addition to the silver option, the Air Jordan 1 High Gold Medal, which essentially pays tribute to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, has finally arrived at retailers.

Flaunting a favorable white and blue finish across its premium leather construction, the defining theme is directed on the Swooshes and iconic wings logo across the ankles, which also applies luxe appeal to its overall design.

Topped off with a clean white midsole unit and blue outsole, you can find this pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting today for a price tag of $140.

You can’t go wrong with this silhouette. The colorway is solid and I’m biased towards the gold accents.
