The Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau Snakeskin is the most recent Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau to drop. That’s soon about to change as another entirely different version is on the way. Opting to keep things more on the traditional side, our first look of the shoe shows its upper come in a Pure Platinum leather upper that takes care of most of the upper. Just like the Snakeskin version, this pair also has a Nike Swoosh that is cut-out on the side panels to reveal a tonal mesh construction. Offsetting the tonal look of the shoe is the crimson found on the lining, as well as the colored branding hits placed on the ankle and tongue. Rope laces and a white midsole complete the look of the shoe. No word yet on when these will drop but let us know what you think so far.

It’s way too basic for my taste. Nouveau versions of the Air Jordan 1 are supposed to be premium versions of the shoe. What makes this shoe premium? Not even the look of it feels premium. Is there something I’m missing here?

The Air Jordan 10 City Pack will consist of several Air Jordan 10 colorways paying homage to cities that Michael Jordan has had an impact in. Over the past few months we’ve seen some of the shoes that make up the pack such as the Air Jordan 10 NYC, Air Jordan 10 Chicago and Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles. Today the City Pack goes international as we get our first look at what is rumored to be the Air Jordan 10 Paris.

This Paris version of the Air Jordan 10 has the shoe come with a “75” on the ankle since the number is a reference to France’s city code for Paris. The shoe itself comes in a two-tone upper where it comes constructed out of a full-grain leather upper complimented by the purple accents all over the base of the shoe. More purple is found on the “75”, heel pull tab and outsole of the shoe. This version of the model comes in a GS size, which means that the adult’s version may look slightly different, or it could very well mean that this could also be a GS exclusive. Either way we’re going to find out more inforamation on this shoe pretty fast as it’s slated to release in Europe on April 9th. Thoughts on the first look? Let us know in the comments below.

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.

We all know that the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam 20th Anniversary will be releasing this year during the holidays. Although we’re far away from the proposed release date, just like last year’s Air Jordan 11 release, there appears to be leaked images of this years Air Jordan 11 drop way before the release date.

As you all know the Air Jordan 11 Space Jame releases from the past have come with Royal Blue Jumpman branding hits. This particular pair which is rumored to be this year’s release comes with a Concord (Purple) branding hits. Another new feature on the shoe is the fact that the 23 hit on the heel comes stitched instead of painted on, so that means you won’t to worry about having the paint peel off. It’s worth noting that these new changes match the look at the Michael Jordan PE that he wore back in the day. Being that the shoe is rumored to be Jordan PE version, this could very well be the first look of the Air Jordan 11 that’s releasing at the end of the year. Make sure you bookmark our Air Jordan 11 Space Jam 2016 launch page to keep up with the latest news, images and updates regarding this release.

Honestly, I prefer the Royal Blue branding, but either way, it doesn’t really affect the shoe that much.

The post First Leaked Images Of The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam 20th Anniversary? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Michael Jordan’s return to the game of basketball with the Washington Wizards was mostly a forgettable affair, but the one good part of it, of course, were the shoes. Fortunately, Jordan Brand is bringing back one of the most memorable sneakers from that early 2000’s era, the “Copper” Air Jordan 17+. First appearing in 2002, this particular 17 was one of the most premium Air Jordan releases ever at the time, as it featured croc skin on the heel and Copper accents throughout the shoe, as well as a carrying case instead of a regular box. Nearly 15 years later, the shoe finally comes back after being requested by fans for many years, but it’s going to come with a price. Releasing next Saturday, April 9th, the shoes comes with a $250 price tag, which is understandable considering it is a remastered version. It’s going to be a good year for the AJ 17+ in fact, as the brand also has plans to release a “Bulls” inspired colorway next month. Get a better look at the shoe with official photos below.

It appears that the upcoming all-new “City Pack” of the Air Jordan 10 Retro for 2016 isn’t limited to just cities in the USA like Chicago and New York, and is going international. This next addition to the city collection is apparently for Pairs, France, since the “75” on the ankle is presumably a reference to France’s city code for Paris. The new makeover for the Air Jordan 10 features a unique two-tone treatment of the full-grain black leather upper, with purple accents and an icy sole. Today we get a look at the Grade School edition of the “Paris” Air Jordan 10, which at this point can’t be confirmed to also be releasing in men’s sizing.

Alongside the AJ 2 Low Gym Red and AJ 12 French Blue, the Air Jordan 12 Wings highlights the trio of JB releases for this weekend.

This time depicting the silhouette in a closer view, the sneaker is defined by its simplistic black and white colorway. Contrasting elements of gold are evidenced on the top eyelets and side panels to provide a sense of luxury appeal, while the main focal point is directed at its tumbled leather upper which reveals a gold-colored feather graphic to correspond with the theme.

Additionally, this unique detail can only be seen when the component is wiped or agitated over time. Further detailed with a black-and-gold feathered insole graphic, the sneakers will also come equipped with a white-and-gold dust bag.

Extremely limited in numbers, retail price is set at $225 and set to arrive on Saturday, April 2nd.

In addition to the Air Jordan 12 French Blue and Air Jordan 12 Wings that release tomorrow, we’ll also be seeing the release of the Air Jordan 2 Low Gym Red.

The low-top version of the Air Jordan 2 will be releasing for the first time since 2005 and will be doing so in this bright and bold Gym Red color scheme. Aside from the Gym Red that covers essentially the entire shoe we see minimal splashes of Hyper Turquoise on the insoles and outsole. Nothing too crazy, just an all-red colorway of the Air Jordan 2.

Do you plan on picking up a pair tomorrow? Remember that retail has been set at $160. Check out our Air Jordan 2 Low Gym Red launch page for additional images and updates.

Another low-top silhouette that Jordan Brand should have never created. And by the way isn?t the all-red sneaker phase over?

While this weekend will be dominated by the two colorways of the Air Jordan 12, next week we’ll be seeing the grand return of the Air Jordan 17.

The OG Copper colorway of the Air Jordan 17+ that made its debut back in 2002 will be returning 14 years later. The Air Jordan 17 is one of the few silhouettes that sneakerheads seem to actually care about after the 14. Looking at official images of the Air Jordan 17+ Copper we can see that it features a White leather upper with Black croc textured leather detailing around the ankle as well as on the tongue. Making this colorway pop even more is the Copper detailing on the heel, eyelets, and Jordan branding on the tongue, heel and by the toe.

Releasing on April 9th for a higher price than most retros of $250, will this be a cop or pass for you?  If you?d like to see more images, video, or just find out more about this shoe then head over to our Air Jordan 17+ Copper launch page for the latest updates.

Author’s Take

The Air Jordan 17 holds a special place in my heart because it?s the first retro that I ever bought back in 2002 but in the black and chrome colorway. This Copper colorway is decent but that $250 price tag is something that pushes me away.

Joining alongside the AJ 12 French Blue and AJ 12 Wings tomorrow, will be this bright rendition of the Air Jordan 2 Low.

While it may not be more desirable than the aforementioned pairs, this variation of the silhouette certainly catches your attention. Essentially covered in red, the bright and eye-catching hue subtly emphasizes the sneaker’s reptilian-like leather upper.

The only notable contrasting element is seen on the iconic wings logo gracing its tongue, although the insoles are also colored in turquoise. Finished off with matching laces and a full-length rubber sole unit, purchase at pair at JB and Nike stores tomorrow, April 2nd for $160.

I pretty much admire the silhouette. Aside from its classic palette, the application of gold has been well placed, plus the revealing wings graphic on the upper is a pretty cool touch.

After a number of setbacks and delays, the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” is finally releasing at retailers this Saturday, April 2nd. Following up the iconoclast that was the Air Jordan 11 was a difficult feat, but Tinker Hatfield manages to bring a refined sensibility with the Air Jordan 12 by implementing premium leather, an asymmetrical mudguard inspired by Japan’s rising sun flag, and carbon fiber on the outsole. The heel read ‘Quality Inspired By The Greatest Player Ever’ and showcased a mature outlook from the Jumpman that recently claimed brand independence in 1997. Are you excited about the pairs arrival after all of the delays? If you can’t wait for the French Blue 12s to release tomorrow, check for your size right now via eBay.

The Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau is returning in a colorway that will certainly bring back Kanye’s whole ‘Yeezy jumping over the Jumpman’ claim. If the colorway looks familiar, it’s because it is. A Pure Platinum monochromatic upper is accented with a Bright Crimson lining for a look reminiscent of a certain Yeezy 2 colorway. A synthetic reptilian texture adds a lifestyle feel while the Swoosh takes a departure from the norm to add ventilation through a dropped mesh construction.

The post Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau Takes On The “Pure Platinum” Look appeared first on Sneaker News.

Jordan Brand has introduced the Jordan Horizon through a premium collaboration with Public School NY, draped the woven upper in tribal patterns for Black History Month, and now is bringing a premium synthetic Croc Skin leather to the table. And yet, the overall response to the lifestyle offering hasn’t been nearly as large as it was for its predecessor, the Jordan Future. Perhaps the switch to a higher silhouette construction and Air Jordan 13 outsole still pales in comparison to the iconic Air Jordan 11 inspiration. But you can’t fault the Jumpman for continuing to be creative with textiles and this “Black Croc” offering is proof of that. Ominous croc-skin leather matches an all black midsole while touches of Infrared 23 hit the bottom for a unique look. Buy the latest premium Jordan Horizon offering today from select shops like Sneaker Politics for $185 USD.
