This luxe/lifestyle rendition of the Air Jordan 2 is simply a tribute to this year?s popular world streetball tournament, which is held every summer in Paris, France since its inception in 2003.

Sporting a clean light bone hue across its premium nubuck and leather upper, the silhouette is accentuated with pops of metallic gold gracing the heel, eyelets and tongue tab to solidify its stylish flair and composition. Other notable details include branding on the insoles that correlates with the event, as it’s rounded out with a crisp white full-length rubber sole unit and icy translucent outsole.

Look for this standout model at select JB and Nike retailers overseas only starting Saturday, July 23 for a price tag of $180.

I?m biased towards this color scheme and this should get the attention it deserves. The value is a lot higher since it?s an overseas exclusive only.

This OG colorway of the Air Jordan 5 is revived for summer 2016, as even more images of the highly-anticipated silhouette are featured once again.

Placing an emphasis on its overall build, the basketball sneaker inherits a black nubuck upper and midsole unit, while accents of grey adorn the signature netting and reflective tongue, alongside shimmering silver accents prominent on the shark teeth-inspired component on the midsole, which also incorporates subtle black speckling to pronounce its stealthy profile. Other notable elements include the classic ?Nike Air? logo across its heel, unlike the typical Jumpman logo, in addition to pops of fire red seen on the tongue and lace locks for more vibrance.

Rounded out with an icy blue translucent outsole and a visible air bubble unit in the heel, you can purchase the silhouette at select JB and Nike stores on Saturday, July 23 for a price tag of $220.

The post This Classic Air Jordan 5 Releases In A Few Days appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The iconic Air Jordan 1 High is treated in a vibrant summer-appropriate colorway that’s reminiscent of the limited edition Diamond Supply Co. x Nike SB Dunk High Tiffany or low-top that first released back in 2005.

Simply draped the same color scheme, bright teal is prominent on its textile underlays, such as the toe box and side panels, which is also prominent on the tongue branding and collar section. Instead of black, dark green leather overlays solidify its makeup, while a shimmering silver swoosh further pronounces the profile, while also mimics the dunk iteration.

All resting atop a crisp white midsole unit and dark green-colored outsole to cap it off, a GP size of the silhouette is featured, and it’s currently available at select Nike and JB retailers for a price tag of $70.

Seeing this on the AJ 1 is alright to me. The colorway is a classic combo and I feel one of the best iterations on the Dunk silhouette ever. I?m sure these will get a lot of attention.

Unfortunately, unlike the 2011 iteration, this particular take won’t feature the distinctive ?X? detailing on the heel.

Further detailed with the iconic wings logo across its ankles, fans can expect to purchase a pair at select JB and Nike accounts on September 3 for $160.

The post All In The Details For The 2016 Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred/Banned appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

With the unveiling of the Air Jordan 31 set to debut later today, Michael Jordan recently shared his thoughts on the banned Air Jordan 1 that he first wore in the league back in 1985.

“It’s like a young kid when your parents say you can’t do something, and they wanna do it,” Jordan said. “I felt like I wanted to be different, and the league said, ‘Well, we’ve gotta stop that.'”

The silhouette’s iconic “Bred” theme has since been an inspiration to countless silhouettes throughout the years and the theme is also evident on the forthcoming Air Jordan 31.

Stay tuned for its reveal.

The quality on this Air Jordan 5 doesn?t even look all that great so I don?t think that $220 price tag is justifiable. I?ve always wanted this colorway of the Air Jordan 5, but I?ll have to pass on these.

Over thirty years ago, Nike unleashed the Air Jordan 1 to the world, much to the chagrin of the NBA. The shoes didn’t fit official guidelines thanks to a daring black/red colorway that MJ himself described as the colors of the devil.

This short video serves as MJ’s personal reflection of the historic “banned” Air Jordan 1 as well as a precursor to the Jordan 31 debut tomorrow, so check out the short clip ahead and stay tuned for tomorrow’s big reveal.

After a historic 20-year career in the NBA, this forthcoming variation of the classic Air Jordan 9 is essentially a tribute to Kobe Bryant.

Shaded in the Los Angeles Lakers?s signature tones, white leather is utilized for its upper, while purple adorns the patent leather overlays that encompasses the midsole unit, throughout the rear and flows along its collar section to solidify its dominant two-tone palette.

Encapsulating the respective theme are evident with pops of yellow gracing the branding across its tongue tab, mini Jumpman logos located across its heels and outsole, in addition to more branding prominent on the rear with the number ?23? and a circular globe badge. Finishing touches include shimmering metallic silver eye stays and matching white laces.

Priced at $190, look for this model to debut at select JB and Nike retailers sometime during November 2016.

Following Jordan Brand’s recent image of Team USA yesterday, which unveiled the new Air Jordan 31 on Carmelo Anthony and Jimmy Butler, the forthcoming model is given a closer look, as it’s showcased on the feet of Chicago Bulls’ star guard, Jimmy Butler once again.

Dressed in a USA-themed colorway that correlates with the upcoming 2016 Summer Games in Rio, the basketball sneaker’s distinctive aesthetic takes cues from the iconic AJ 1 with a refined woven upper and the addition of Swooshes across its side panels. This particular pair will be seen on both Jimmy Butler and Carmelo Anthony throughout the Olympics.

Stay tuned for the official unveiling of the silhouette tomorrow, July 20th.

I’m a fan of the theme, but, not the sneaker much. I do like the cleaner look overall, but, I’m not even tempted in purchasing a pair.
