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.

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.

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.

Black and Gold always manage to elevate the Air Jordan 1 to new heights, which is why we’re a bit envious of the grade schoolers who will be able to fit into this upcoming kid’s exclusive colorway of Mike’s first signature model. We’ve seen Jordan Brand get creative with piping on retro models throughout the year, and here a muted black leather base is accented subtly by brief doses of Metallic Gold on the lining and classic Wings logo while a gum outsole adds a lifestyle finish. Expect a release later this month, but in the meantime, you can check out more of this kids-exclusive Air Jordan 1 below.

Since releasing the Air Jordan 10 “City Pack” in 1994-95, Jordan Brand has become a global icon for basketball and lifestyle sneakers. The change of pace has been noted in the retro renditions of the city PEs so to speak, as the Jumpman has switched the style from representing particular teams to focus on premium details to catch a major metropolis’s vibe. Instead of orange and blue accents for a New York Knicks PE, the Air Jordan 10 “NYC” was captured through a premium black leather and luxurious gold accents. Now the City Pack is expanding to international territories with the introduction of the Air Jordan 10 “Paris”. The fashion capital gets its own colorway as an homage to the city of light is captured through a full-grain black leather, icy outsole, and purple accents. The ’75 Parisian code serves as PE branding on the ankle collar to further the motif. What do you think of the Paris rendition of the Air Jordan 10? Stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News and if you’re in Europe, pick up this pair this weekend at select House of Hoops locations this Saturday, April 9th.

The Air Jordan 17+ Copper will not be the only retro Air Jordan releasing this weekend with a premium price. If you thought that $250 was too much to pay for a sneaker then you won’t be too happy to hear how much with Air Jordan 4 will retail for.

Labeled as a premium colorway, this blacked out Air Jordan 4 takes luxury to another level as the upper is covered in a premium tumbled leather with snakeskin detailing. Adding to the luxurious look is pony hair on the side panels and on the tongue. The insoles are composed of quilted leather and the inner liner is also made up of leather. Lastly we have a Sail outsole finishing up the aesthetics of the shoe.

The Air Jordan 4 Pinnacle Black will be releasing on April 9th for a retail price of $400. Is this a cop or a pass for you? Don?t forget to visit our Air Jordan 4 Pinnacle Black launch page to stay updated with the latest images, news and updates on this release.

Author’s Take

would have preferred to see some contrast on the upper instead of just all-black. While the Air Jordan 4 is probably my favorite Air Jordan silhouette of all-time, it?s hard to justify spending $400 on a pair, especially one as plain as this one.

Returning this weekend after making its debut 14 years ago will be the Air Jordan 17. The first colorway that will be releasing in 2016 is the OG Copper colorway that you see above.

If you would like to retire the OG pair that you bought back in 2002 you’ll be able to do so this weekend, but it won’t come cheap. The Air Jordan 17+ Copper will retail for a premium price tag of $250. This OG colorway 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.

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.

We’ve already gotten a look at the NYC and Chicago pairs from the upcoming Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Today we get our first look at the pair that pays homage to the city of Charlotte.

As you may already know, Michael Jordan is the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets NBA franchise which may be a big reason why the city of Charlotte was selected in this year’s collection. Looking at the first images of the sneaker above we can see that the Air Jordan 10 Charlotte features a white leather upper with purple and teal detailing on the tongue, eyestay, ankle, laces, ankle, heel and outsole. “CHA” has been written by the ankle as an abbreviation for the city just like every other pair we’ve already seen from this pack.

Now that you’ve gotten your first look at the Air Jordan 10 Charlotte what are your thoughts on this colorway? Make sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 10 Charlotte launch page to stay updated with the latest information on this release.

Author’s Take

I’m not the biggest fan of the Air Jordan 10 so it would take a very special colorway for me to actually buy a pair. Purple and teal aren’t really my cup of tea but I’m sure fans of the “grape” colorway will be all over this pair.

Although it’s been a relatively quiet few months for the Jumpman Team II, the shoe returns in the perfect way with a nice tribute to MJ’s playing days with the Chicago Bulls. The next release features two colorways that would have went perfectly with the Bulls’ white Home jerseys. First is a simple black/white version, and a second that swaps out black for red, in a color scheme that is reminiscent to the Air More Uptempo that was previewed last month. Although these two Jordan Jumpman II colorways are only available in Asia right now, they should be hitting U.S. retailers soon.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I like the approach of this line in general, but I?ll have to pass on this pair. The AJ 1 iteration in Vachetta Tan was my favorite so far and while this pair seems versatile, I?m just not a fan of the hairy detailing.

The post Air Jordan 4 Premium Black appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Air Jordan 4 Premium Black has a lot of things going for it. From the premium leather finish to the faux pony hair that replaces the shoe’s signature netting, it is unlike any other Air Jordan 4 out there in terms of style and possibly quality. As insane as this sounds, if it were priced like other “regular” Air Jordan retros right now at $190, it would probably sell out in mere seconds. But that’s not we’re dealing with here. It’s retail price is $400. For a premium price you get a premium shoe. But is that enough for a sneakerhead these days? There’s one way to find out as the release of this pair is coming soon enough.

Brace yourselves, the Summer will be getting a lot hotter this year with the release of this new colorway of the Air Jordan 11.

Having originally released back in 2001 and considered one of the most popular colorways of the Air Jordan 11 Low of all-time, the Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red now returns 15 years later for 2016. This colorway of the Air Jordan 11 Low is covered in white on the traditional ballistic nylon mesh upper while Varsity Red covers the patent leather mudguard and some of the pods on the translucent outsole.

No exact release date exists yet but this low-top Air Jordan 11 is expected to release some time this Summer. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more.

Author’s Take

There?s only a couple of colorways of the Air Jordan 11 Low that I would consider buying and this white/red version isn?t one of them. I?m sure lots of people will be hyped to pick up a pair though.

Scheduled to arrive at select Jordan Brand retailers later this Summer is this new colorway of the Air Jordan 12.

First previewed on the site last week, this colorway of the Air Jordan 12 will be making its debut later this Summer and features a Grey, White and University Blue color scheme. The majority of the upper is done in a Grey tumbled leather while contrasting hits of White has landed on the midsole, outsole and mudguard. However what really makes the shoe pop are the University Blue and Obsidian Blue accents on the branding and inner liner.

What are your thoughts on this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 12? You can look for this pair at select retailers beginning on June 25th for $190. Make sure you visit our Air Jordan 12 Grey/University Blue launch page to see more information on this upcoming release.

Author’s Take

The combination of white and grey on the upper gives this Air Jordan 12 a nice look, but I’m not a fan of the University Blue. For that reason I’ll be passing.
