This image you see above is indeed the Air Jordan 31, a sneaker that is set to be officially unveiled this week. The Jordan 31 combines new elements with old as Jordan Brand’s design direction for future models is that the brand is looking thirty models back and bringing in elements to the new creations (Air Jordan 31 is inspired by Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 32 is inspired by Air Jordan 2, etc). As seen here, there are clear elements of the AJ1, from the Swoosh to the ankle height. Stay tuned for more updates as we near the official unveil this week.

Champagne Papi’s Air Jordan collaborations are about to be a trending topic again because the white Jordan 12 OVO is set for a release very soon. Matt Senna, already established as the creator of these solid metal sneakers, is giving Drake another boost of energy in the sneaker circuit thanks to this solid-gold Air Jordan 10 OVO, which Drake says weighs 100 pounds in a joking hashtag. These are indeed dipped in 24k gold and are a one-of-one, meaning the Toronto native is the only man in the world to have them – and he already showed them off on Instagram. Get a look below.

Kobe Bryant is officially retired from the NBA. Kobe will not be on the hardwood doing his thing this November. That’s a tough pill to swallow for any NBA fan. What you will see on the NBA hardwood is the Air Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant PE scheduled to releases sometime in November.

Still 4 months away from releasing, more and more pictures of the Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant PE are beginning to release. The shoe rocks an upper utilizing the team colors of Kobe Bryant as a White base is accented by the Purple and Gold placed all over the upper and sole unit. The shoe is beginning to get plenty of attention due to the Kobe Bryan affiliation. My question to you is this: Would this shoe be any less hotter if it wasn’t called the Air Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant PE? What do you think? Is this shoe really hot, or is it just hype? Stay up to date by visiting our Air Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant PE hub page to take a look at all the images and latest info.

If this shoe wasn’t called the Kobe PE, I’m sure it would sit on shelves. Since it is, I see these selling real well.

I’ve made the case before that internet leaks are ruining the new sneaker experience. Well, this might be the biggest evidence for that argument yet.

What you see right now is allegedly, the new Air Jordan 31 (or XXX1 if you want to be consistent) that was set to be revealed officially on July 20. The hype for the shoe began a few days ago when Nike re-aired the famous “Banned” commercial starring Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan 1 Black/Red (which is reportedly set to return this year as well).  The twist was at the end of the commercial when they said that the “new era” was coming. Then the teasers for the new shoe started making their way online, placing it side-by-side with the original banned Air Jordan 1 but with curiously positioned black bars on both that would make Kim Kardashian proud. You could see hints of the 31 peeking outside of the bars, but not enough to make an educated guess as to what it actually looks like. Then this image claiming to be the 31 dropped.

What you could make out of the shoe through the black bars in the teasers matches up with this image. It appears to have woven and leather elements on the upper, along with a fading swoosh and a giant Jumpman. If this is the Air Jordan 31, it feels like a shoe that is quite literally transitioning from the old into the new.

As you can probably imagine, the buzz that is coming out of Sneaker Twitter is not positive to say the least. There have been comparisons to takedown models and forgotten Team Jordans like the Jordan Sky High. Jordan Brand has yet to make their pitch for the shoe and already judgement on it has been passed with phrases like “straight to outlet” being thrown around. For my part, the leak reminded me of the Air Jordan 1 MTM that was essentially an Air Jordan 1 with the technology of the Air Jordan XX9. I thought that shoe was a great idea for a one-off (and I’m still looking for the MTM Pack at a reasonable price), but it shouldn’t be the inspiration for a new proper Air Jordan.

That’s not to say that Jordan Brand can’t change the narrative, but it is going to be a tough challenge. No matter how blurry the pic is or incongruous with the final product the initial leak may be, that is always going to be the first impression we have of the Air Jordan 31 and it’s going to take a lot to change that. They have been revealing new Air Jordans earlier and earlier because they want to beat the internet to the punch and get their story out there. When the shoe is revealed on Wednesday in Las Vegas, the brand will knock it out of the park with the presentation and the pitch as to why this shoe is the best thing ever. They did earlier this year with the reveal of the Air Jordan XXX in Chicago and months later, we now clamor for more colorways like the recently released Cosmos. I don’t doubt Jordan Brand can do it again with the Air Jordan 31, but you figure it’s a problem they wish they didn’t have to deal with.

Seventeen years later, the model receives a remastered take, as it essentially stays true to its original counterpart. Comprised of smooth/tumbled white leather for its upper, the Ferrari 550M-inspired basketball sneaker’s build is solidified by contrasting black accents implemented on the midsole, tongue, inner lining and laces. To accentuate and round out its OG appeal, hits of legend blue and green are applied across its entirety.

The color combo is essentially a classic, but I?m not really fond of this model. Although it hasn?t been seen since ?99, I?m sure fans of the silhouette are elated for the revival.

Remember when we thought this shoe was the Air Jordan XXX? Part of that was due to the mysterious way that Marcus Jordan posted the model on social media, leaving plenty of people to speculate on what the next signature Jordan model would look like. Luckily, it’s just Jordan Brand’s take on a lifestyle training crossover model belonging to the Jordan Trunner series. Part training model, part running silhouette, this anonymous Trunner adds cusual qualities in the form of a synthetic croc-skin midfoot strap and mudguard, a functional and breathable mesh throughout the upper, and speckling across the cushioned midsole unit. No word yet on a release date, but today we get a preview of three upcoming colorways, including a “Red October” vibe. What do you think of Jordan Brand’s latest? Check out more photos below.
