The 2016 Summer Olympics will be taking place in Rio, Brazil this year and Jordan Brand has created an Air Jordan 10 to commemorate the city.

Known as the Air Jordan 10 Rio and part of the 2016 City Pack, this Air Jordan 10 comes dressed in a Wolf Grey tumbled leather upper with Obsidian detailing on the eyestay, tongue, laces, ankle and mudguard. Photo Blue, Green Glow and Yellow are then spotted on the outsole as an homage to the flag of Brazil. Finishing details include a Photo Blue Jumpman on the heel and “RIO” embroidered by the ankle. In the images above you can see the Air Jordan 10 Rio pictured alongside the Air Jordan 10 NYC that releases next week.

If you like this colorway then you’ll be able to purchase the Air Jordan 10 Rio when it releases on May 7th for $190. You can stay updated with the latest images, release information and other updates by following our Air Jordan 10 Rio launch page.

Out of all the colorways in the Air Jordan 10 City Pack this Rio pair is one of my favorites. I like the multicolored outsole and the tumbled leather upper.

So what’s the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum going to look like once you lace them up and put them on your feet? Just like I expected, amazing!

Coming in a Navy Blue upper, the shoes construction comes in a mesh base and a patent leather mudguard/toe. Navy Blue laces and lining round out the monochromatic look up top. Creating a nice balance and contrast is the white midsole and gum outsole combination seen down low. It’s not everyday you see an Air Jordan 11 come with a Navy Blue upper and a Gum bottom outsole. It may be a new look, but there’s no doubt that it looks good on the shoe. Slated to release sometime in the Summer, keep it locked to our official Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum launch page as release information on the shoe is soon to follow.

The Air Jordan 1 High goes late night next weekend, with the release of the iconic sneaker in a colorway inspired by a young Michael Jordan’s appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Back when MJ was 23 years old and the Air Jordan 1 was still new to the world, he appeared on Letterman wearing a bright red warm-up suit with a blue polo underneath, which is the obvious inspiration behind this new look for the Air Jordan 1 in Light Crimson with Midnight Navy accents?including the metallic paneling around the heel and for each Swoosh. The best non-OG colorway of the Air Jordan 1 since the “Shattered Backboards”? We’re going to go with yes. Get a detailed look at the Letterman Jordan 1’s here, and don’t forget that they drop next Saturday, April 30th at Jordan Brand retailers like Sneaker Politics.

Scheduled to make its arrival next week, new images of this latest take on the iconic Air Jordan 1 High are provided once again.

As its moniker suggests, this particular colorway is inspired by MJ?s vibrant outfit as a guest appearance at the late night talk show with David Letterman during 1986.

Essentially dressed in bright crimson throughout its premium leather profile, the vibrant hue is offset by accents of midnight navy gracing the tongue, laces, inner lining and outsole. It can also be seen on prominently on the Swoosh, collar section and iconic wings logo on the ankle, although these components bear a polished finish as well.

All resting atop a crisp white midsole unit, the sneaker will retail for $160 and the set to arrive at select JB accounts on April 30th.

The silhouette is a clear classic so it?s something I?ll never get tired off. I wasn’t into the colorway at first, but these latest images and the 4K video is making me re-think my decision.

Author’s Take

Out of all the AJ 10s coming out this year, this pair is my favorite and it’s a women’s style. If my size will be available, I’d purchase, but this is one of the best iterations so far this year. I’m just biased towards the palette.

These latest colorways on the silhouette have been superb. I know a lot of fans are disappointed with the design (I’m not), but these upcoming colorways are pretty solid. I’m just biased.

It?s reminiscent of the OVO collab. I?m all for tonal looks and this pair is certainly versatile and perfect for everyday wear. I?m a New Yorker so I guess I?m biased.

The post A Restock Of Air Jordans Set For Tomorrow appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

There’s several premium versions of the Air Jordan 4 out there. The Air Jordan 4 PRM Snakeskin drops next month, and the Air Jordan 4 Premium Black dropped less than two weeks ago. In my opinion though, none of them are as premium looking as the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian. Coming in an Obsidian colored upper, today we get a closer look at this Fall release.

Opting to go with a very luxurious aesthetic, the shoe comes dressed in a quilted leather that’s placed all over the upper. Additional leather detailing is placed on the laces and lining and insoles. In an attempts to contrast the tonal upper, copper hits are placed on the studded heel tab, eyestays and the custom hang tag. The shoe sits on top of a white sole unit to give it a clean and crisp look. Releasing sometime in the Fall for $400, is this the best premium version of the Air Jordan 4 we’ve seen thus far? Stay tuned in to our Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian launch page for additional information.

Author’s Take

I like it. The shoes does evoke a premium feel to it. Small stuff like the leather laces and quilted upper give it a nice luxurious feel. Will I drop $400 on them? Perhaps. Only time will tell.
