The classic Fire Red colorway of the Air Jordan 5 is now being utilized on this upcoming Air Jordan 5 Low release. With less than a week before the shoe’s release, today we take a look at the official images of the Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red.

If you’re a purist and prefer Jordan retros in OG colorways, this Air Jordan 5 Low in the Fire Red makeup was made for you. The shoe comes in a white leather upper offset by the Fire Red hits placed on the midsole, lining, Jumpman branding on the tongue and lace lock. Black accents also make an appearance on the shoe as they can be seen on th tongue, netting on the side panels, shark teeth on the midsole as well as part of the midole. A translucent icy outsole and a white set of laced round out the main features of the shoe. Releasing March 12th for $175, is this one of the best colorways of the Air Jordan 5 Low.

Author’s Take

I would have preferred to see Jordan Brand release more Air Jordan 5 Lows in colorways we’re used to seeing on the midtop options. I think they would have sold better as well as  look better.

Remember that black and grey Air Jordan 6 GS that we showed earlier this week? Today we get another look at the shoe and it looks even better than the first image.

Said to only come in GS (Grade School) sizing and made exclusively for girls, this is definitely and Air Jordan 6 colorway that many guys wish came in adult sizing. The shoe is constructed out of a grey nubuck construction accompanied by the black tumbled leather placed on the overlays and ankle collar/heel area of the shoe. White accents are seen on the branding as well as on the midsole of the shoe. The shoe is completed by the icy translucent outsole seen below. Although the shoe is fairly subtle, the colors used give it that classic look. Said to be dropping May 21st for $140, what little footers are looking to pick up a pair?

I love the color blocking used on the shoe. Reminds me of the Olympic and Carmine versions. Really wish these released in men’s sizing.

Any Neymar fans out there? If you said yes, I highly suggest you continue reading. We recently came across a leaked image showing a sneaker that is said to be named the Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar.

Paying homage to the 24-year old soccer sensation, Jordan Brand decided to design an Air Jordan 5 Low after one of the best in the game. This Air Jordan 5 Low manages to differentiate itself from all the other versions we’ve seen this year since its upper comes covered in a full 3M Cement print motif. That means when flash hits it, the entire shoe will light up! Joining the 3M upper are the black and crimson hits placed throughout the shoe. The image also shows personalized Neymar branding as a name tag appears inside the tongue and his jersey number is placed on one of the shoes ankle where the 23 is usually found. What are your thoughts? Is this the best Air Jordan 5 Low we’ve seen all year? Stay tuned to get more information regarding this potential release.

Author’s Take

The 3M Cement upper is definitely the star of the shoe. Although I’m not a soccer fan, I do know who Neymar is so it’s cool to see a player from another sport gets recognized by Jordan Brand. The personalized hits are also really cool. Can’t wait to see the rest of the shoe.

Jordan Brand will continue to release Air Jordan 1 High models in OG fashion. Last year saw the return of classics such as the Air Jordan 1 High Chicago and UNC. We also got a gem in the form of the Air Jordan 1 High Shattered Backboard. Jordan Brand will continue the trend by also giving the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Navy the retro treatment.

Considered to be an OG colorway being that it released in 1985, many people will be happy to see this shoe get the retro treatment. The color blocking of the shoe is fairly simple as the shoe comes in an all-white upper contrasted by the Metallic Navy hits palced on the OG Nike branding, collar, lining, outsole and Nike Swoosh. A set of white laces and a white midsole complete the minimalist look. Said to be dropping on June 4th for $160, how many of you see this release as a “must-cop”.

I’m a big fan of navy blue on sneakers. I’m definitely looking forward to picking up this colorway once it drop in a couple of months.

Global soccer star Neymar just so happens to be a big fan of Michael Jordan. In fact, his fandom is being reciprocated by the brand by way of an Air Jordan 5 Low designed by Neymar himself. You might’ve heard the rumors earlier this year, but today we get a first look at the Neymar x Air Jordan 5 Low; it features a full speckled upper with a black midsole and hits of bright crimson on the inner lining, but what makes these truly specific to the FC Barcelona star is that his number 10 is stitched on the left shoe in place of MJ’s 23, and a label of his name is featured on the inner side of the tongue. Grab a first look at the details here and stay tuned for release info.

Let’s see: White/Cement 4s with Nike Air already released, Space Jams and True Blues are coming back, the Air Jordan 17 is making a return, and now the Metallic Navy AJ1s? 2016 is all about reviving the original Air Jordan colorways, and there’s reason to think that the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Metallic Navy” might be the best of the year. There are collectors out there who only chase after 85 originals and they’ll tell you firsthand that tracking down every colorway in history is nearly impossible because there are as many unreleased samples as there are release versions. June 4th is the tentative date for these, so get a clear look here and let us know if these are a must-have for you. Can’t wait? The low-top version drops later this month.

This isn’t the first time that Saint Laurent sneakers have grabbed inspiration from the Air Jordan 1. In the past the Saint Laurent SL/10 high top came in the same color scheme as the Air Jordan 1 in the Bred and Royal colorway. Saint Laurent once again seems to follow suit as their low top offering rocks the same look.

Coming in Bred and Royal colorways, the Saint Lauren SL/10 low top comes in a black and red or black and red premium leather upper. The same color blocking used on the Air Jordan 1 model is used on these pairs. Rounding out the look of both pairs are the black laces and white midsole. Completing the look is the Saint Laurent branding placed on the tongue of the shoe. Like what you see? A cool $595 gets you either of these pairs.

Author’s Take

It all depends on your preference, but personally I don’t want to buy a high fashion sneaker that looks like a Air Jordan sneaker. I want it to have its own look.

Jordan Brand continues to release Air Jordan 1 Low models in OG fashion. Up next is the Air Jordan 1 Low OG Midnight Navy. Looking to mimic the success of the Air Jordan 1 Low OG Chicago, this Midnight Navy colorway release is only a few weeks away.

The shoe is very simple when it come to the colorway placed on the upper. It starts off with a white leather base that takes care of the majority of the shoe. Adding some color and contrast to the shoe are the Midnight Navy accents placed on the outsole, Nike Swoosh, lining, heel and tongue branding on the shoe. When it comes to the OG branding, Nike branding is placed on the tongue and the Wings logo is spotted on the heel. A white midsole and white set of laces tie up the look of shoe. Slated for a March 19th release, you can get a pair for the retail price of $130. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I like the shoe. Although the colorway may not be as hyped up as the Bred, Royal, Shadow or Chicago pairs, the simple look of the shoe makes it very versatile.

It looks like newly-retired NFL legend Charles Woodson is not the only one who was blessed by Jordan Brand with his very own pair of Air Jordan 7 Gold cleats. Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas also took to his IG to show the world that he’s got a pair as well. Although Earl Thomas did not take part in the Pro Bowl game (injury) this year, but Jordan Brand still showed him so love and gifted him a pair.

The Air Jordan 7 cleat comes in a gold upper contrasted nicely by the hits of white found on the tongue, laces and midsole. Would you pick up if these were to drop? Let us know in the comments below.

Dope clean and I don’t even play football! I’m sure these would sell well if Jordan Brand ever decides to drop them.

The latest celebrity/athlete/musician to receive the Air Jordan Kobe Pack is rapper Travis Scott.

Earlier in the week Shinedown guitarist Zach Myers also posted the pairs he received from Jordan Brand along with both colorways of the Macklemore x Air Jordan 6. However unlike Myers, Travis Scott received the home white colorways of the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8 instead of the black pairs that Myers received.

Are you a bigger fan of the black pairs or the white pairs? Let us know down below and keep it locked to Kicks On Fire to find out if this Air Jordan Kobe Pack will ever be getting a retail release.

We already know that and Air Jordan 10 City Pack will be releasing that will highlight four cities around the country. We have the Air Jordan 10 Chicago Flag that draws inspiration from the city’s flag, the Air Jordan 10 NYC inspired by the Statue of Liberty, a Charlotte colorway, and now we have the Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles.

This Air Jordan 10 isn’t inspired by the Lakers though, instead Jordan Brand pays homage to the Boys In Blue and models the colorway after the LA Dodgers. The colors used on this Air Jordan 10 will be Ocean Fog, Blue Lagoon and Midnight Navy. The collar will also come with the “LA” embroidered logo instead of the 23 or 45 that we’re used to seeing.

The release date for the Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles is scheduled for May 14, 2016 for a retail price of $190. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for further updates and images once they release.

Note: There is no images of the sneaker yet.

Author’s Take

The Dodgers are my favorite baseball team but I already own the Royal 10s. So unless this pair is completely different then I intend on passing on them.

The Air Jordan 4 will be getting the premium treatment in 2016 much like the Air Jordan 1 did last year with all of its pinnacle releases. In addition to the black colorway of the Air Jordan 4 that will drop at the end of the month, we’ll also be seeing the pair that you see above hit retailers some time this year.

Instead of going with the slightly textured tonal upper and pony hair detailing that we saw on the black pair, this PRM Snakeskin colorway dresses up the shoe in beige and grey snakeskin leather with tumbled leather overlays on the tongue, wings and toe. Metal detailing has been added on the eyelets and heel for a luxurious look. Finishing things off is a white midsole/outsole unit that lets the upper do all the talking.

There is no firm release date yet for this premium Air Jordan 4 but they’re like to release some time this Summer with a hefty $400 price tag. It’s also important to not that there’s rumors that there only may be 5,000 pair available when they release so it won’t be an easy pick-up. Stay tuned for updates, but in the meantime enjoy these new on-feet images.

Author’s Take

Not a bad colorway of the Air Jordan 4 but if they do cost $400 then that’s just ridiculous. The only reason they’ll sell out is because there’s only 5,000 pairs.

In a special edition of NBA 2K16 Kicks (actually, the Foamposite Pro Pure Platinum edition was the special edition because it dropped early today), we’ve got a look at the Air Jordan 12 GS Dynamic Pink in a size most of the grown men reading this would appreciate because it’s in their size.

While we can all understand and respect Jordan Brand’s decision to keep the Dynamic Pink in GS sizes, we can’t help but wonder what the pair would look like if they got an men’s sizes release. One thing I know for sure is that they would not last long in stores because of their unique look. Don’t believe me? Remember how fast the Pearlized Pink flew off shelves when they dropped a few years ago? This would be no different.

Like last week’s look at the Air Jordan 12 The Master colorway in the game, some of the issues when creating a custom colorway remain, such as the difference of font on the “23” on the shoes and the lack of visible Jumpman branding on the heel. But those flaws are barely noticable in the game as Jimmy Butler pulls them off with ease.

When you think of vintage sneaker collectors, you’re pretty much always going to picture a male. It’s true, about 99% of the world’s community of vintage sneaker collectors are guys. And that’s what makes this amazing collection even more special and unique. On display now at the campus of Wallace State Community College in Alabama is the collection of the late Charlotte Cummings, who co-owned an athletic footwear store throughout the 1980s and ’90s with her husband Robin. Looking like a genius now, Charlotte began setting aside Air Jordans and other sneakers for safe-keeping beginning in the mid-80s, amassing the collection seen today in the museum environment. Unfortunately, Charlotte has since passed away, but Robin has kept her love for sneakers alive with the exhibition, even adding more sneakers to here original collection within the last two years. Those in the Hanceville, Alabama area can view the awesome collection until March 15th, 2016. You can also see more of the collection on Robin’s Instagram page.

Is the Air Jordan “Kobe” Pack actually releasing? The brand has stayed mum about a potential public release, but after the black set reached the hands of musician Zach Myers and now the white set arrived on Travis Scott‘s doorstep, we can only hope that a retail release for the Lakers-inspired colorways sometime between now and The Black Mamba’s actual retirement. The hip-hop artist just gave us a first look at the pair in the special edition box that features individual dust bags and the double-sized box, so peep the full photo below and we’ll bring you the latest regarding an official release.
