No doubt that this is my favorite colorway on the Jordan XXX. The all-black upper is a great look on the shoe and the translucent outsole works really well with the upper.

Author’s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: When I first heard that this show would be black and red I was hoping that the hits of red would be more bold and vibrant than this. It’s not a bad colorway but I wouldn’t pay $250 for this shoe.

Author’s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: A navy blue Air Jordan 11? I like how Jordan Brand is thinking outside the box a bit and giving us a completely new colorway. The gum outsole is also a really nice look. The only thing I?m not too happy about is that it?s a low-top. Maybe once I see better images it?ll grow on me..

The Air Jordan 10 is one of my least favorite Air Jordan models. It has to come in a really nice colorway for me to want a pair. This is not one of those colorways that I?d want to pick up.

Another Sneak Peek At The 2016 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam

Over the weekend we got our first look at what is believed to be the 2016 version of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam that is expected to release during the 2016 Holiday season. The pictures that surfaced show the heel of the shoe and what looks to be a Concord (purple) Jumpman like Michael Jordan’s PE version instead of royal blue like we’ve seen in the past. Another interesting feature was the fact that the 23 on the heel is stitched on instead of painted on so it won’t peel off.

The new image that surfaced today gives us a lateral view of the back half of the shoe that shows the patent leather that wraps the mudguard and heel as well as the outsole which is of the icly blue translucent variety.

Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for the latest updates on this upcoming release and make sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 11 Space Jam 2016 launch page for the latest information.

There’s not much to judge from this picture but I guess you can say that the shoe looks good. I don’t wanna jump the gun and male an early judgement so I’ll wait till I see the entire shoe.

If you’re diggin’ the two-toned look on the upper it is being said that the shoe will release later on this Spring. Are these the best colorways on the shoe thus far? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Allen Iverson Wears Air Jordans On The Day Hes Announced To The Hall Of Fame

As you may already know, Allen Iverson was announced yesterday as one of the inductees to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for the class of 2016. ESPN caught up with AI early in the day yesterday and Iverson was wearing some really interesting sneakers.

You see Iverson was signed to Reebok way back in 1996 right when he was drafted into the NBA. That year Reebok created the Reebok Question which is considered by many one of the best signature sneakers of all-time. But during his interviews yesterday Iverson wasn’t wearing a special colorway of the Reebok Question, he actually decided to wear a pair of Air Jordans. Yeah, I’m trying to figure out why too.

According to the man himself he said he wore them because Michael was the man who gave him the vision growing up. Iverson posted a picture on his Instagram of him being interviewed on SportsCenter where you can clearly see he’s wearing the Air Jordan 4 White Cement. The captions then reads “I am Reebok for life but today I’m paying tribute to the man who gave me the vision, the Greatest of All Time, MJ.”

I wonder how Reebok feels about this? Do you think The Answer should have worn a pair of Reeboks or was it OK to wear Jordans for a day?

Remembering The Significance Of Michael Jordans 45 Jersey

The story has been retold over and over again, but the details of the comeback never get old. After an abrupt retirement in 1993, Michael Jordan returned to the Chicago Bulls in March 19th, 1995 wearing a Bulls jersey with a number that NBA fans probably did not relate to. A few days later, Jordan made his first “comeback” appearance at home, with an insane welcome from the United Center crowd. Jordan would go on to wear the new #45 for the rest of the season, switching back to his old #23 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals series against the Orlando Magic; the NBA fined him $25,000 per game for breaking league rules on top of the $5,000 fine for “non-conforming” shoes that we’ve come to know as the Concord 11s.

This Black And Gold Air Jordan 1 Mid Is For The Kids

AIR JORDAN 1  5 AIR JORDAN 1  4 AIR JORDAN 1  3 AIR JORDAN 1  6 AIR JORDAN 1  2 AIR JORDAN 1  1

Over time, black and gold sneakers have grown to be considered a classic colorway on sneakers. Classy, sophisticated, clean and just the right amount of pop are some of the few reasons we’re all attracted to the color combination. Up next is an Air Jordan 1 Mid rocking the beloved color scheme, only negative about this shoe is that Jordan Brand appeared to only make these in GS sizing.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid GS comes in a black leather base upper. The tonal appearance of the shoe is beautifully contrasted by the gold detailing placed in areas such as the piping, branding and lining of the shoe. Giving the shoe more or a premium look is the addition of a gum bottom outsole. Black laces and a white midsole round out the look of the shoe, If you like what you see all you GS-footers will be able to pick up a pair later on this month for the retail price of $120.

Author’s Take

It’s a clean colorway, I just would have preferred more gold detailing such as on the Nike Swoosh. Regardless, this a solid option that I’m sure many people who can’t fit in GS sizes wish they could pick up.
