This Air Jordan 12 GS Barons consists as the next variation of the basketball silhouette this summer, as more images of the forthcoming pair are now featured.

Colored in a classic colorway of white/grey and black, the color scheme is reminiscent of MJ?s days with the Birmingham Barons in 1994, which is essentially a minor league baseball team and Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox major-league club.

White and grey dominates the entire leather upper, while touches of black are notably evident on the upper eyelets, side panels, tongue, heel tabs and branding on the rear.

Priced at $140, look for this pair at select Nike and JB retailers starting August 13th.

I?m a fan of the silhouette and especially in this colorway. This offering is a nice exclusive pair for the young ones.

In about two more weeks, this original colorway of the Air Jordan 14 is set to make a return once again.

Originally debuted in 1999, the basketball silhouette essentially stays true to its OG makeup with black predominant across its premium leather and durabuck construction. The defining hue is prominently seen on the branding on its tongue, signature shield logo along the collar, miniature Jumpman on the toe box and a portion of the heel tab.

Supplemented with a crisp white outsole unit, the sneaker is slated to drop at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, August 13th for a retail 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.

With the 2016 Summer Olympics starting next week (Aug. 5), this variation of the Air Jordan 11 Low celebrates the international sporting event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, specifically the closing festivities which will be held in the Maracanã Stadium for Sunday, August 21st.

Defined by shimmering gold encompassing its upper, the low-top’s premium flair is further detailed with white leather for the reminder of its composition. Contrasting black accents located on the tongue and inner lining complement the palette, as it?s all adhered atop a clean 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.

Yesterday we gave you a first on-feet look of the Air Jordan 11 Low PE that Michael Jordan was seen wearing at the Michael Jordan Flight School camp. The Red Air Jordan 11 Low drew plenty of attention because, well, it’s Red! If you were interested in getting a better look at this PE, we now have that image for you.

The Air Jordan 11 Low comes with a Red mesh and patent leather upper sitting on top of a White midsole and Gum outsole. The color scheme of the shoe has a very similar look t the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Gum that dropped not too long ago. Now that you’ve gotten a better look at the Jordan 11 Low PE, would you like to see these release to the public? Sound off in the comments below.

For the most part, hybrid Jordans are looked down upon from the majority of the sneaker community. Not really sure why, but most of us would rather keep it OG and only mess with retros. Although that is fine and all, there is no denying that the Air Jordan Spizike is seen as one of the most “acceptable” hybrids that Jordan Brand ever created. Meshing features from Jordans such as the 3, 4, 5, 6 and 20, the Spizike manages to utilize all these traits and create a look if its own. Although Jordan Brand has not released many colorway over the last couple of years, it looks like a Wheat colorway could be in the works.

The Wheat colorway has the shoe come in a Tan suede upper accompanied by the Brown placed on the paneling on the vamp. More Tan is noted on the plastic wings, eyelets and pull tab. Elephant print also makes an appearance as it comes in a darker shade of Tan. Rounding out the look of the shoe are the Brown laces, Jumpman on the tongue, the Silver and Black lace lock, the Brown midsole and the specking on the toe. Are you excited to the Spizike make a return? Stay tuned to find out when these get a release date.

I don’t mess with Spizikes. If I want a Tan suede sneaker for the Fall, there are far better options out there than a Spizike.

The Air Jordan 1 has been a trendsetter since ’85. Now, the roles are reversed and this iconic silhouette is the one adapting current trends. Seen here in a white/black and black/white colorway is the Air Jordan 1 with what appears to be an ankle collar sleeve embedded into the interior of the shoes. Not that Nike didn’t achieve the ankle-collar look decades ago, but this is certainly a first for the original Jordan model. In addition to the sportier ankle collar is an upper built with canvas-like uppers and embroidered Swoosh/Wings logos. Release information is coming soon, so get a first look ahead and we’ll bring you the new when it surfaces.

The post Jordan Brand Retooled The Air Jordan 1 With Ankle Collars appeared first on Sneaker News.

Nowadays, seeing sneakers with ankle collars is nothing out of the ordinary, but when that sneaker is the iconic Air Jordan 1, you can bet that people are going to be paying attention. Jordan Brand has decided to utilize the ankle collar construction on the beloved Air Jordan 1, and just like you’d expect, people either love it or hate it.

What you see above are two tonal versions of the Air Jordan 1. Although we are still unsure as to what materials is used for the base construction of the shoe, it kind of looks like a canvas/ripstop material. What we do know is that the Jordan 1 comes equipped with an ankle collar that further heightens the look of the shoe. Thoughts? Hot or flop? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

For the most part, I’m not that big of a fan of the ankle collar look. I can do bootie construction like on the Huaraches and 7s, but ankle collar is not for me. With that being said, the Jordan 1 does NOT look bad with this new feature. I’d just rather see it with a different base construction.

When you’re a “friend of the program”, life tends to throw things your way that us on the outside looking are not usually entitled to. It might be a favor here or there or it could be a perk that makes things just a little bit easier for you. In the case of Jordan Brand, being a friend of their program means being #blessed with exclusive Air Jordans. And I don’t mean the kind that you can buy in stores or even the ones that top athletes like Russell Westbrook or Chris Paul. Nope, I’m talking about one-of-a-kind pairs made just for you, as is the case with singer Anthony Hamilton, who showed off his Chocolate/Gum retros lately to the chagrin and envy of sneakerheads everywhere.

He has shown off the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 5 in a unique colorway that seems better suited for his line of work than on the court. Are these kicks something you would like to release someday?

Another preview of the forthcoming Air Jordan 6 Black Cat continue to surface online, as the model is suggested to bar part of JB?s standout Holiday 2016 collection.

As suggested, the basketball sneaker is simply defined by its stealthy blacked-out leather upper with perforations throughout to enable sufficient ventilation. Treated in all-black like the previous AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions, this particular pair, however, inherits subtle pops of contrast with white gracing the midsole unit, underlays and Jumpman branding, while 3M reflective detailing throughout further pronounces its makeup.

Retailing for a price tag of $190, the model is suggested 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. I?m a fan of the silhouette and this model should get a lot of attention.

A new Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle is suggested to be offered this Holiday 2016 season, as this particular pair is reminiscent of Spike Lee?s Oscars.

Noted as a premium lifestyle iteration of the basketball sneaker, the model is essentially defined by its perforated leather upper which has been dipped with a midas touch for a gleaming finish. Complemented with beige-colored laces, the overall makeup is solidified with pristine white gracing the heel tab, tongue and midsole unit. Finally, an icy translucent outsole with glittering accents rounds out the composition.

Jordan Brand has just added two new Olympic releases to their 2016 Collection. Taking the spotlight this time are two new colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High.

The first pair that we see pictured above takes inspiration from the silver medal and features a White leather upper with Gym Red overlays as well as additional Gym Red accents on the tongue, inner liner, and laces. The connection to the silver medal name comes with the Metallic Silver hits that have been placed on the Swoosh and Wings branding on the side panels. A White sole unit wraps things up on this Air Jordan 1 that hits retailers on August 1st for $140. Will you cop or drop?

Author’s Take

If this is indeed an Olympic colorway I think more could have been done/added to the shoe to give it an Olympic feel. It looks like we’ve already seen this colorway or at least something very similar hit retailers.

Completing the duo of Olympic-themed Air Jordan 1s is this gold medal pair. While the silver medal colorway featured a combination of white, red and silver, this pair takes on a different look.

Looking at this Air Jordan 1 we can see that it comes dressed in a full leather upper in a combination of Deep Royal Blue and White. Providing some contrast and living up to the name are hits of Metallic Gold on the Swoosh and Wings Jordan branding. An orange Jumpman on the tongue, white midsole and blue outsole wrap up the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Gold Medal that is scheduled to hit retailers on August 1st for $140.

Author’s Take

I like this pair better than the red Silver Medal colorway, but I still feel that more could have been done to give it that Olympic feel/look.

Jordan Brand makes sure that the Air Jordan 1 isn’t left out of the upcoming celebration for the summer Olympics with this patriotic edition of the iconic sneaker. The “Olympic” Air Jordan 1 High features a dark royal blue and white leather upper with metallic gold accents and a small hit of Infrared on the tongue Jumpman branding to complete the American theme. Is this one of the best non-OG colorway releases we’ve seen for the Air Jordan 1 in a while? Get a detailed look here and if you like what you see, go grab a pair at select Jordan Brand retailers like Sneaker Politics on August 1st.

If anyone in the entire world has stack on stacks on stack of unreleased Air Jordans, it’s Michael Jordan himself. It shouldn’t be a surprise to see Jordan rocking one of a kind retros, but every time he does you can bet the whole sneaker community is taking a peak. He was recently spotted at the Michael Jordan Flight School teaching kids of the fundamentals of basketball. While doing so, he was wearing an unreleased version of the Air Jordan 11 Low. It’s a Red upper with a White midsole and Gum bottom that has been spotted on his feet in years past. Another pair he was wearing was none other than the Jordan Ultra.Fly seen on the second image. If the 11s ever end up dropping, how many pairs are you picking up?

Just when you thought Jordan Brand was done with releasing Jordan 12s in 2016 we now get a first look at a brand new colorway. Said to be releasing at the end of the year, here is a first look at the Air Jordan 12 Deep Royal Blue.

The Air Jordan 12 Deep Royal Blue comes in monochromatic fashion as the entire shoe is done in a Depp Royal Blue colorway that kind of reminds me of the first pair of Jordan 2 Just Dons that dropped last year. Most of the shoe appear to come in suede while a textured leather appears to take care of the mudguard. No word on whether or not this is considered a premium version of the Air Jordan 12, but if it is expect it to cost you more than $190. Said to be releasing sometime in November, stay tuned to get more info and images of this upcoming Jordan 12.

I like Blue sneakers. I only got one pair of 12s this year (French Blue), but I wouldn’t be opposed to getting this pair if the price is right.
