To pay tribute to MJ’s alma mater — the University of North Carolina — this classic Air Jordan 9 Low will be making a return this weekend.

Defined by its eye-catching university blue finish covering the entire leather upper, this 1994 retro is perfectly offset by a clean, white midsole and outsole unit. Subtle contrasting tones of black adorn the inner lining, tongue and Jumpman globe badge on the rear, while additional pops of university blue adorn the heel, accompanied by a number ?23? embroidery in white.

Look for a pair at select JB and Nike retailers on Saturday, June 11 for a price tag of $170.

I don?t hate how it looks in low-cut form, but I?d really prefer the model in its original form. The colorway isn?t for me, but it?s pretty appealing. This should get some attention.

Joining alongside London, will be the Charlotte iteration of the Air Jordan 10 next weekend, which is essentially noted as part of JB’s city pack for S/S 2016.

As a homage to the NBA team that MJ currently owns, the basketball sneaker is rendered in the Hornets’ signature palette. Pristine white leather dominates its upper, while vibrant accents of light purple and teal are implemented on the eye stays, tongue, inner lining and outsole that bears a few of MJ?s notable accomplishments.

Additionally a ?CHA? embroidery is seen on the collar as a nod to the respective city.

Priced at $190, fans can start purchasing the forthcoming silhouette at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, June 18th.

I appreciate the theme and I?m a fan of the silhouette in general. I?m not too keen on the colorway, but fans should still be excited.

The Air Jordan 2 Low which is reminiscent to the pair that released back in 2004, will be arriving at retailers tomorrow, as it essentially pays homage to MJ?s alma mater ? University of North Carolina.

Sporting a slightly different makeup than the aforementioned pair, the basketball silhouette is defined by the school’s signature colors. White dresses the leather upper and midsole, while pops of university blue are implemented on the outlining of its upper, heel tab and outsole. Furthermore, midnight navy graces the heel and inner lining to round out the palette.

Retailing for $160, you can purchase a pair at select Nike and JB stockists this Saturday, June 11th.

I?m not really a fan of the silhouette in this low-top form. The colorway is solid though, but it?s an easy pass for me.

With the Shanghai iteration still on the way, the latest rendition of the Air Jordan 10 from the brand’s standout city pack for S/S 2016 is set to debut very soon, as the city of London will be represented next.

Dressed in an understated colorway, tones of Pure Platinum/Metallic Gold-Dark Grey essentially comprise its overall makeup. A light grey hue is dominant across its smooth leather upper, while darker tones are applied on the tongue, eye stays, laces and midsole unit.

Hits of metallic gold adorn the Jumpman on each heel, insoles, as well as the respective “LDN” embroidery across the ankles.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase this pair at select Nike and JB retailers on Saturday, June 18th.

I’m a fan of the silhouette overall and I’m biased towards these shades. The colorway looks solid and versatile. This should garner the attention it deserves.

Even more images of the revamped Air Jordan 12 with nylon is unveiled, as the modernized basketball silhouette is suggested to debut in the next few months.

As previously reported, the sneaker is defined by the utilization of the synthetic polymer across the majority of its upper construction and tongue. Noted to be waterproof, the addition of this fabric offers more versatility, as well as subtracting the overall weight of its profile.

Premium leather overlays are applied on the forefoot and lateral portion to retain its premium and iconic flair, while other notable details include bright red accents adorning the tongue, an embossed branding on the heel and clean, white rubber sole unit.

Priced at $190, the sneaker is set to debut at select JB and Nike stockists on September 10.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Like I shared before, it?ll be interesting to see how this model does. This variation looks really solid. I always wondered if the brand would explore new materials and apply it on classics just to see how it would be received. For example, the utilization of flyknit or engineered mesh as well.

The Jordan Brand “City Pack” highlighted by the Air Jordan 10 Retro makes a return next week as the brand makes stops in London, England. Inspired by the overcast nature of the city, this Air Jordan 10 mixes in gloomy grey tones to achieve the familiar colorcast that has become synonymous with the metropolitan city. There’s no word on this release being exclusive to Europe much like the Air Jordan 10 “Paris” was, but we’ll update you if these are confirmed for a release stateside. Get a look at the official images ahead.

The Chicago Bulls jerseys that Michael Jordan wore back during the 1997 NBA Finals will be returning.

Since Jordan Brand decided to bring back the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game this year, Mitchell & Ness said why not and also brought back the sweet threads that MJ wore while capturing his 5th NBA Championship. Both the Home and Road Michael Jordan Bulls jerseys will be releasing June 10th. MJ is known for wearing the Air Jordan 12 Playoffs with the white jersey and the red jersey with the black/red 12s from his unforgettable Flu Game.

Look for both jerseys at select Mitchell & Ness retailers tomorrow. Will you be completing the Flu Game fit the accompanying jersey?

A few MAJOR upcoming rumored releases have already been announced today such as the possible return of the White/Red Air Jordan 13 and the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport in the Spring of 2017.

The news continues to roll out as we have just found out that an Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD could also be releasing in 2017. Reported by reliable sneaker source @Baltsneakershow, he claims that this collaborative Air Jordan 8 will look just like the Air Jordan 4 UNDFTD that released back in 2005. This means it’ll presumably have an olive upper with black and orange accents.

There is no confirmation from Jordan Brand yet regarding this release, but make sure you stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more updates.

Note: There is no images of the possible release yet.

A green Air Jordan 8? I’ll pass. I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 8, even if it’s a collaboration with UNDFTD.

Making its debut this weekend alongside the Air Jordan 2 Low UNC will be the Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone.

Having already seen two colorways of the Air Jordan 9 Low release this year, this bright option is ideal for the Summer if you want your sneakers to be the life of the party. The Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone features a full leather upper done in University Blue. A contrasting white sole unit adds some balance to the sneaker which also features a bright blue Jumpman on it. Black detailing can then be seen on the inner liner, tongue tag and the globe on the heel. Will you pick up a pair on June 11th for $170?

If you buy these kicks you?ll definitely get noticed, but this colorway is just too bright for me. Plus I?m not even a fan of the Air Jordan 9.

In May, Jordan Brand brought back the Flu Game 12s in original form for the first time since the 2004 retro release, and this Saturday, on the true anniversary of the game, Jordan Brand is setting up a pop-up shop in Utah to commemorate the day. Mitchell & Ness, a brand that has been on point with the Jordan milestone dates, is coming through yet again with the release of the Home and Road editions of Michael Jordan’s 1997 NBA Finals threads. That includes the white ‘Home’ version, paired with the Playoff 12s, and of course the famous ‘Road’ red, which Jordan wore for the unforgettable Flu Game. These ’97 Finals jerseys release tomorrow, June 10th, at Mitchell & Ness retailers as well as the brand web-store (shoes are not included).

While nothing official has come out of Jordan Brand, early reports suggest that the shoe you see above could very well be the Air Jordan 13 Black Cat said to be dropping during the Spring of 2017.

As mentioned earlier, the Jordan 13 will come with distinct features that go along with the Black Cat nickname. Things such as paw prints on the outsole and the panther?s eye on the hologram are rumored to be a part of the shoe’s motif. From this angle, we’re not able to see those features, but I’m pretty sure we will get an even better look in the near future. Thoughts on the shoe? Let us know in the comments below.

The features that go along with the theme is cool, but in my opinion, the shoe is a little too plain for my taste.

According to reliable source, @BaltSneakerShow, one of the most highly coveted Air Jordan 4 colorways of all time is set to release to the public next year. Yes, I’m talking about the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport.

When the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport initially released, it didn’t drop as a GR to the public. As a matter of fact, the shoe was only given to members of the Jordan Brand Motorsport team. So if you weren’t a part of that exclusive club, you probably don’t own a pair. For some reason (which I’m not mad at), Jordan Brand has decided to release the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport to the public. This Motorsport 4 will come with a White leather upper, offset by the hits of Black and Royal Blue placed throughout the shoe. Mars Blackmon branding also appears on the side of the heel to give it that official look and feel. No info yet in regards to the release date, but keep it locked as more details are sure to surface.

Author’s Take

Pretty clean colorway on the 4s. The fact that it was once a rare sneaker to own should be more than enough reason for people to want a pair. That’s how it works, right?

This December’s Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” is shaping up to be the defacto release of Jordan Brand’s 2016 for a number of reasons. The remastering process has transformed this iconic Air Jordan 11 colorway back to the OG days of early 1995 samples, as the retro mimics the pair that Michael Jordan wore during his second-round matchup against the Orlando Magic. The patent leather is cut a bit differently here and showcases a white shade on the piping as all OG Jordan 11s did. Then there’s the ’45’ heel branding replacing the usual ’23’ stitching. The iconic Space Jam Jordans return on December 17th for $220 USD so you have some time to plan on how you’ll be grabbing your pair. Check out the most detailed look we have yet after the break and head over to our Jordan release dates page for a full look at all of the upcoming Jumpman plans.

Getting your kicks stolen is sadly an all-too-common occurrence with sneakers these days. Director Justin Tipping, along with a fresh-faced and veteran-filled cast, brings this epidemic to life with the release of Kicks, a feature film about a fifteen-year-old who discovers that a fresh pair of kicks can have life-changing effects in positive and negative ways. The film is set for a September 9th debut, so watch the official trailer below and give us your thoughts on perhaps the most poignant sneaker-centric film ever created.

Fans of the Air Jordan 13 are going to be happy about this one. It is being rumored that the Air Jordan 13 Melo PE will release Spring of 2017 as a Quickstrike release. As some of you may remember, Chris Paul had an Air Jordan 13 PE drop last year, now it’s Melo’s turn.

The Jordan 13 comes in a semi-Nuggets color scheme as a Black upper is accented by the Gold/Yellow hits placed on the overlay. If this is in fact a Melo PE, don’t be surprised if you see a Melo signature logo placed on the tongue. As of now the shoe is not officially confirmed, nor does it have a release date, but early reports are saying that the shoe is expected to release sometime next Spring. Does this potential release get you hype?

Black and Yellow/Gold sneakers are always a good look in my opinion. I’m not a big fan of Carmelo, but I’d be willing to pick these up because they’re that nice!
