Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan – Michael B. Jordan, that is – star in Apple TV’s latest ad, showcasing the voice-activated services by Siri and all that the platform has to offer. The up-and-coming actor is portraying a young Kobe Bryant in an upcoming fictional biopic on The Black Mamba, so he’s spending some time with the 5-time champ to receive some insight into his basketball psyche. Of course, a Kobe Bryant biography probably won’t happen until long after his retirement, but Michael B. Jordan would be a fine (and somewhat ironic) selection to play that role. Check out the Apple ad below and stay tuned as Kobe nears his official retirement this week.

Another Air Jordan 10 was recently leaked, but this doesn’t appear to be a part of the City Pack. As a matter of fact, it looks like this version will release strictly in GS sizing for the girls. Let’s take a look at the first image of the Air Jordan 10 GG Pure Platinum.

A quick glance at the shoe and it looks very similar to the Air Jordan 10 Steel, but being that the name of the shoe is currently Pure Platinum, my guess is that the color of the leather upper is actually Pure Platinum and not white. Hits of black placed on the outsole, collar, eyestay, tongue and laces breakup the tonal look of the shoe. What are your thoughts on the shoe? Is this something you would pick up if it were to release in adult sizes? Currently rumored to release May 14th for $140, let us know what you think in the comments below.

Not the best quality picture, but it does look very similar to the Steel 10s. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing though. I’d like more creativity coming out of Jordan Brand, but what are you going to do, right?

The Air Jordan 10 Charlotte you see above is set to be a part of this year’s Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Paying homage to the city of Charlotte, let’s look at the latest images of the Charlotte inspired Air Jordan 10.

The shoe comes dressed in a white leather upper that ends up taking care of the majority of the shoe. The white base is accented by the hits of teal and purple placed in areas such as the tongue, eyestay, ankle, laces, ankle, heel and outsole. Just like all the other 10s from the City Pack, the city abbreviations appear on the collar of the shoe as a “CHA” is embroidered to represent the city of Charlotte. For those of you who aren’t in the know when it comes to why Charlotte got its own shoe, let me tell you why. Since Michael Jordan is a majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets NBA franchise, it only makes sense that the city of the team that he owns is well represented in the city pack, right? Releasing June 18th for $190. Let us know what you think about the shoe. Be sure to check out our Air Jordan 10 Charlotte hub page for all the latest information and images of this upcoming release.

It’s a clean colorway, probably the best thus far when it comes to this year’s city pack. There’s a good chance that these will do good.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Navy is set to be the next Air Jordan 1 colorway rocking the beloved Nike branding. While it is technically an OG colorway, the Metallic Navy doesn’t get the same amount of love compared to other OG colorways. Subtle in appearance, don’t let that take away from the simple/clean aesthetics of the shoe.

To start off, the shoe comes dressed in an all-white leather upper. Unlike many other popular OG colorways, this version does not come with any type of color-blocking, it’s simply done in all white. The white base of the shoe is contrasted by the Metallic Navy hits placed all over the shoe in areas such as the branding, collar, lining, outsole and Nike Swoosh. More white is seen by way of the laces and midsole, but for the most part that’s about it. One good thing about a subtle looking shoe is that it’s easier to pair with whatever it is you’re wearing. If you like the simple and clean look of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Navy you will be able to pick up a pair of your own in June for the retail price of $160.

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. Hopefully people continue to sleep on them.

For well over a month we’ve known that a Los Angeles-themed Air Jordan 10 was in the works as a part of this year’s Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Only problem is, we had no idea what it was going to look like. Today we finally get our first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles.

The first image shows that the shoe will come dressed in a upper made out of several different shades of blue. A lighter blue is placed on the lining, while two darker tones can be seen in different parts of the upper. The embroidered LA is placed on the collar to let us know what city the shoe is reppin’. Lastly, the shoe gets cleaned up a bit as hits of white are spotted on the midsole and outsole region of the shoe. The shoe currently has a tentative release date of May 14th with a retail price of $190. Now that you’ve seen the shoe, let us know what you think.

I was semi-excited to see what the shoe was going to look like, now that I’ve seen it, I can’t say that I’m not disappointed. Such a led down. Damn.

This latest take on the classic Air Jordan 4 was certainly the most expensive pair to release today, almost double the price of the AJ 17+ Copper and Europe-exclusive AJ 10 Paris respectively.

Essentially a more luxe variation of the silhouette, the upper flaunts an exceptional textured leather build in black, while tonal accents of pony hair grace the signature netting and lower portion of its tongue.

Juxtaposing against its stealthy profile consists of a clean white rubber sole unit, with the model’s distinctive visible air bubble component seen in the heel.

Finished off with matching waxed laces and branding on the tongue and heel, the model is also equipped with a leather Jumpman hang tag, while packaged in an elephant printed blacked-out box, with extra set of laces, a white dust bag and a special card.

You can buy a pair at select stockists now, such as Kixify, for $400.

Despite the AJ 10 Paris being a Europe-exclusive release only, the AJ 4 Premium Black and this classic rendition of the Air Jordan 17 arrived at store shelves globally as well.

Essentially a remastered variation of its initial 2002 release, the model stays true to its aesthetic with a full-white leather upper, in addition to embossed black croc-skin overlays adorning its rear for a touch luxury.

Defining its profile consists of copperish accents gracing the eyelets, heel counter and tongue, alongside hits of silver throughout for a shimmering finish. Additionally detailed with a blue lace lock, more black accents are applied on the toe cap and midsole to solidify its palette.

Priced at $250, you can purchase a pair at select retailers such as Kixify now.

The post A Really Closer Look At The Air Jordan 17 Copper appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Jordan Ultra.Fly is Jordan Brands latest basketball sneaker. We got our first look at the shoe less than a month ago when it was unveiled in three different colorways. We now have the latest colorway and it’s definitely the boldest one yet.

This version comes in a Black and Infrared colorway. The Ultra.Fly is said to be inspired by the spotted leopard as noted by the upper’s Kurim overlay. Not only does it have a unique look, the upper’s construction offers a flexible cage-like support. The Kurim overlay sits on top of the black meshing that covers the Infrared upper. If you take a closer look at the shoe you will notice that it also comes with more  Infrared placed on the foam-based sole unit and inner sock lining. A silver-colored Jumpman is placed on the ankle to complete the look of the shoe. Dropping April 15th for $125, let us know what you think.

The shoe is clean. I’d even wear them outside the court. The distinct looking upper is really appealing to me.

Aside from the Europe-exclusive AJ 10 Paris and the remastered AJ 17+ Copper, this luxe iteration of the Air Jordan 4 is another notable highlight to release this weekend.

Showcased in another editorial perspective, particularly how the silhouette is perceived when worn, the sneaker’s stealthy profile is essentially defined by its exceptional build. Textured leather is utilized across its upper, in addition to tonal pony hair implemented on its signature netting and lower portion of its tongue area.

A clean white sole unit offsets its almost blacked-out design, as other notable details include matching Jumpman branding on the tongue label and heel panel. You can purchase this pair at select JB accounts starting April 9th, for a steep price tag of $400.

Essentially mimicking its 2002 counterpart, the model is comprised of premium materials with a full-white leather upper and the addition of black croc-skin overlays adorning the heel. The punctuating copperish hue is evident on the eyelets, tongue tab and rear portion alongside touches of silver to create a striking yet subdued finish to its luxe profile.

The post The Air Jordan 17 Copper Arrives Tomorrow appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Alongside the AJ 17 Copper and AJ 4 Premim Black, a closer look at this European exclusive Air Jordan 10 is provided, as the model essentially pays homage to the city of Paris, France.

Flaunting an understated full black upper, the component is comprised of an exotic leather-like texture for a bold yet subdued profile. Pops of purple are evidenced on the outsole, heel pull tabs and “75” embroidered across its collar section which signifies the French city code.

Additionally detailed with tonal black hits for the laces, inner lining and midsole, a slightly translucent outsole rounds out the design. If you’re located in Europe, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike stockists tomorrow, April 9th for about $220.

I’m generally a fan of the silhouette and I do like how this pair is predominantly black. The only thing I dislike is the upper construction and that’s pretty much its entire aesthetic.

Joining the Air Jordan 6 GS Bright Mango that we just took a look at, the end of the month will bring us another GS colorway of the Air Jordan 6.

Unlike the Bright Mango version, I think many people will appreciate this colorway because it uses a color scheme that many people like. This Air Jordan 6 comes with a Cement Grey and Dark Grey upper done in a combination of suede and nubuck. Adding some flair to this colorway are the Green Glow accents that appear on the midsole, lace lock, heel tab, Jumpman on the tongue and the outsole.

Scheduled to release on April 30th for $140, will these be a cop or a drop for you? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more images.

Much better than the Bright Mango colorway in my opinion. I’m sure a lot of grown men will also be trying to fit into a pair. They remind me a lot of the Air Jordan 4 Green Glow that released a couple years back.

The post The Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow Drops Later This Month appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Later this month we’ll be seeing the release of a new colorway of the Air Jordan 6 designed exclusively for the grade school crowd.

Known as the Air Jordan 6 GS Bright Mango, this colorway features a White leather upper that alternates between smooth on the base and tumbled on the overlays. Next we see Ghost Green accents on the translucent outsole, heel tab, lace lock on the tongue, and the Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel. Hasta then covers the tongue, inner liner, heel tab and midsole along with Bright Mango accents on the midsole overlays and the speckling on the midsole.

Set to release on April 30th for a retail price of $140, will and of the grade school folks out there be copping a pair?

What’s up with Jordan Brand making these crazy colorways that nobody really likes? I expect this Air Jordan 6 to sit on shelves.

Earlier we gave you a first look at the Air Jordan 5 Olympic that featured a White leather upper and Gold detailing on the tongue and midsole meant to pay homage to the gold medals given out during the Olympics. Now continuing with the “Olympics” theme we get a first look at another new colorway of the Air Jordan 5.

This Air Jordan 5 is being known as the Bronze colorway. At the moment there’s only one teaser image that has surfaced which shows the tongue done in a shiny bronze with a navy Jumpman logo. The inner liner and laces are also navy. It’s unsure what color the upper is on the shoe, but if this preview that we showed you back in January is accurate then then upper should also be navy.

At the moment the Air Jordan 5 Bronze is expected to release on September 24th for $190. Make sure you keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for more images in the near future.

Author’s Take

It’s hard to tell what the shoe looks like from this teaser images, but if the entire upper is also blue then it has potential. Hopefully it’s a suede material on the upper and not leather. We’ll have to wait and see.
