Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the silhouette in general. I really like the execution on this pair. I’m biased towards the clean upper and how the gold accents are subtle.

I’m not really a fan of this model in low-cut form. If it was the original build, I’ll look forward to purchasing. Either way, it’s still a classic pair that a lot of fans will consider getting.

Author’s Take

I?m generally a fan of this silhouette. The theme and homage to Brazil is a cool gesture, but I?m not really that inclined on this colorway. It should still garner some attention obviously, especially those from the vibrant country.

Jimmy Butler and the Chicago Bulls missed the postseason this year for the first time since 2007-08 as their season was filled with injuries and inconsistent play.

However one of their bright spots was the play of Jimmy Butler who was clearly the best player all season when he was on the court. Since Butler’s season came to an early end this year he recently took the time to style one of Jordan Brand‘s newest lifestyle silhouettes, the Jordan Reveal. Following in the footsteps of the Jordan Eclipse, this new high-top silhouette features a mesh upper with leather detailing on the tongue and heel for that premium look.

Take a look at both the Black colorway (modeled by Jimmy Butler) and the Vachetta Tan pair and pick them up both right now directly from nike.com if you’re liking what you see.

Ever since JBF Customs designed his own silhouettes he rarely does custom jobs using exotic materials like he did back in the day. But every once in a while the talented sneaker customizer comes out of retirement and he hits us with a gem.

JBF did just that with this new Air Jordan 4 custom that you see above. This Air Jordan 4 is covered in genuine red python throughout the majority of the upper with black eel on the tongue and on the side panels to replace the traditional netting. Additional black hits appear on the midsole, laces, wing tabs, inner liner and heel tab. This pair is actually up for grabs now in a size 13 for $1,500. Only one pair was created so don’t expect these to last too long.

Author’s Take

The red python upper looks pretty sick but the eel looks kind of weird in my opinion. I would have just preferred the original black mesh netting instead.

Author’s Take

I actually like this Alternate version better than the original Olympic colorway. I like the blue color blocking on the side panels and I just wish they would have made the toe blue as well. Reminds me of the Air Jordan 6 Olympic.

The Air Jordan 1 Banned is making a comeback in 2016. Aside from sporting the dope and beloved black and red motif, the theme behind the shoe is just as amazing. One look at the shoe and it appears to be an Air Jordan 1 in the Bred colorway, it’s only when you take a look at the heel of the shoe that you will find the major difference between the two.

The Air Jordan 1 comes in the timeless black and red leather upper. This banned edition of the Air Jordan 1 references to the time ex-NBA commissioner, David Stern, forbid Jordan from wearing the sneakers due to the bold palette the high-tops came in. The major feature on shoe the lies in the ‘X’ branding found on the heel to represent the ‘banned theme of the shoe. There is also a famous quote from the JB commercial found on the insole of the shoes as well as the date that the sneakers were banned placed on the lining of the shoes.

The Jordan Horizon is back in a classic “Bred” redux. Any Chicago-theme is always welcomed atop a Jordan silhouette, even the ones that Mike didn’t wear on-court. The Jordan Horizon extended the success of the Jordan Future by swapping in an Air Jordan 13 outsole unit, and here the entire look benefits from a semi-translucent Gym Red bottom. The mesh upper takes a different approach this time around, as interwoven strands of Black, Wolf Grey, and Gym Red all create added speckling for a unique look. Get with us after the break for a better view of the latest Jumpman lifestyle release and know that select shops like Rock City Kicks are stocking the pair today for $150 USD.
