The Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue Releases In About Two Weeks

I know what you’re thinking, why couldn’t have Jordan Brand make this release in adult sizes as well? I know, I know. Nonetheless, the people who fit into GS sizes are going to be blessed with this clean colorway of the Air Jordan 12. Let’s take a quick look at the Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue.

Many are saying that the shoe look rally similar to the Air Jordan 12 Melo PE, although that may be the case, nothing official has been reported from Jordan Brand. So until then we will call is the Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue. The shoe comes in a white leather upper contrasted nicely by the University Blue placed on the heel, lining, branding and sole unit. Gold accents are placed on the top eyelets to give the shoe a clean aesthetic. Although this is not considered a OG colorway, there’s no doubt that it will garner plenty of attention. Set to drop April 2 for $140, is this a release you’re looking forward to (assuming you fit into it)?

Author’s Take

Just like the pink Air Jordan 12s, I’m pretty sure this pair will also be a hot commodity. I have no need for them (not like I can fit them anyway), but I’m sure many people will be trying to get a pair.

Our First Official Look At The Jordan Ultra.Fly

Jordan Ultra Fly  9 Jordan Ultra Fly 1 Jordan Ultra Fly 2 Jordan Ultra Fly 3 Jordan Ultra Fly 4 Jordan Ultra Fly 5 Jordan Ultra Fly 6 Jordan Ultra Fly 7 Jordan Ultra Fly 8 Jordan Ultra Fly 10 Jordan Ultra Fly 11 Jordan Ultra Fly 12 Jordan Ultra Fly 13 Jordan Ultra Fly 14

This morning Jordan Brand was happy to unveil their latest basketball performance sneaker, the Jordan Ultra.Fly. Said to be inspired by Jordan’s playoff intensity, Jordan Brand managed to transcend that intensity on to the shoe. Let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

Michael Jordan always seemed to step it up a notch when the postseason began. As his intensity increased, so did his game. Because of this he was given the nickname ‘Black Cat’, which is meant to be a nod to his unmatched capacity to assess the flow of the game and strike with purpose when the time was right. The Ultra.Fly will features a Kurim material overlay inspired from a black cat. This overlay forms a cage-like upper that in turn delivers a custom fit and flexible structure. The design of the shoe is meant to mimic the look of a spotted leopard. The shoe will drop in three colorways at Jordan.com as well as in select retailers on April 2nd for $125. Want to see the shoe in action? Helping unveil the new Jordan sneaker is Jordan Brand athlete, Jimmy Butler. Butler will debut the Ultra.Fly during one of his games this week.

Author’s Take

The shoe looks good. It kind of has an Air Jordan 29 feel to them, but the price and new overlay is a positive. Not too shabby.

The Air Jordan 9 Low Bred Releases In April


Jordan Brand athletes of the early 2000s like Mike Bibby and Derrick Anderson were privy to the Air Jordan 9 Low, and now in 2016, we’ll be treated to a number of colorways that were once only given out to those who inked deals with the Jumpman. The Air Jordan 9 Low “Bred” is slated to release at retailers on April 16th for $170 USD. The pair features that classic “Bred” construction featuring a standard Black upper complete with University Red lining, but this AJ9 does deviate from the norm thanks to a synthetic snakeskin textile on the mudguard. It’s a subtle update given the print’s matte black appearance but adds some depth and lifestyle quality to the otherwise traditionally colored offering. What do you think of the look? Check out more photos below and head to our updated Jordan release dates page for more info.

Jordan Brand Unveils The Ultra Fly Inspired by Mikes Black Cat Nickname


Michael Jordan’s near-sociopathic obsession to win is what made him the G.O.A.T. Toward the twilight of his career, Mike redefined his game as an insanely efficient scorer through a seemingly limitless array of moves like his patented turn-around jumper. It earned him the nickname ‘Black Cat’ for what Nike says was “his ability to strike with purpose”. With that theme in mind, and with the help of another Chicago Bull in Jimmy Butler, Jordan Brand is proud to introduce the Jordan Ultra Fly just-in-time for the playoff push ahead. The silhouette features a unique Kurim overlay that forms a caged upper for a structure that’s not only supportive but ultra flexible to the movement of one’s foot. The design manages to take aesthetic cues from the spotted leopard. You can catch the Ultra Fly on Jimmy Buckets’ feet later this week as the Bulls continue to fight for a playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Jordan Ultra Fly will release at select Nike retailers on April 2nd for $125 USD. More official photos below.

NBA 2K16 Kicks: Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above As Worn By Russell Westbrook

When Russell Westbrook wears retros to a game, it’s not an accident. While several NBA players around the league have built a cult of personality simply based on the shoes they wear and not their actual performance, Westbrook has it both ways. As the appointed successor to wear the signature Air Jordan, he is often seen rocking the latest models like the Air Jordan XX9 and Air Jordan XXX, but when he breaks out the retro heat, there’s a buzz and fresh feeling there. You know it’s going to coordinate with the uniforms and that there’s a chance they’re either very rare or something we’ve never seen anybody else wear to a game.

He’s running out of time to rock the Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above before they release to the public, so we’ve decided to feature him wearing the kicks. Kinda. It’s the featured pair in this week’s edition of NBA 2K16 Kicks.

NBA 2K16_20160315230605 NBA 2K16_20160315230629 NBA 2K16_20160315230619

The colorway is easy enough to bring into the game, but there are two roadblocks that are going to prevent you from making a 100% recreation. The first problem is the disappearance of the shoe’s signature netting; they were replaced by generic perforated panels (the netting was in 2K15, go figure). The gum sole that gives the shoe a very casual appeal can only be placed on the toe because the midsole color option takes up the entire bottom of the shoe save for that one part on the toe.

As you can see in the screenshots below, the shoe looks right at home on an NBA court, especially when the Thunder wear their Alternate and Christmas Day uniforms. Apologies to DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry here as they get routinely worked by the #FashionKing.

A Detailed Look At The Air Jordan 12 Melo

There’s good and bad news. The good news: The Air Jordan 12 “Melo” colorway is on the way back for the first time ever. The bad news: It looks like it may be released in grade school sizing only. With no sign of a release date for men’s sizing and this being our second preview of the shoe in GS sizing, it doesn’t look very good for anybody with large feet hoping to grab a pair of the now-classic colorway worn by Carmelo Anthony early in his days with the Denver Nuggets. But if you are among the Air Jordan 12 fans that can fit into GS sizing (I.E. kids and the ladies), here’s your best look yet at the “Melo” colorway that drops on April 2nd.

The White Colorway From The Air Jordan Kobe Pack Is Up For Grabs

Air Jordan Kobe Pack 1 Air Jordan Kobe Pack 2 Air Jordan Kobe Pack 3 Air Jordan Kobe Pack 4 Air Jordan Kobe Pack 5 Air Jordan Kobe Pack 6

We have already seen a handful of athletes, musicians and other influential people receive their pairs of the Air Jordan Kobe Pack that features Away or Home Lakers colorways of the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8.

But the piece of bad news is that unless you’re one of those select few people that knows or has connections with Michael Jordan or Jordan Brand, there’s no way for you to get your hands on a pair. That was until now. The White colorway from the Air Jordan Kobe Pack just surfaced on eBay in a size 10 and there’s six days left on the listing. The only downside is that the bid is already at $75,000 with only 2 bids submitted. So either someone is trolling the person selling this pair of Jordans or they’re for real and willing to pay a pretty nice chunk of change for these shoes.

If you want to place your bid you can do so here. How much do you think is a reasonable price to pay for this pack considering they’re not available to the public? Make sure you keep up with our Air Jordan Kobe Pack launch page just in case these kicks do get a release date.

WWE Kicks: Shane McMahon Gets Chokeslammed While Wearing The Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard

Shane McMahon 1 Shane McMahon 2 Shane McMahon 3 Shane McMahon 4

Ever since Shane McMahon returned to the WWE a couple of weeks ago he’s been stylin’ and profilin’ in a different pair of Air Jordans every time (and he’s been a regular here at KoF). First it was the Chicago 1s which were then followed up by the Air Jordan 2 Wing It.

Yesterday he returned to Monday Night Raw once again to continue to hype up us his Hell In A Cell match against the Undertaker that will take place during Wrestlemania 32 in a few weeks. It was the first time that Shane O Mac and The Phenom stood face to face since the match was announced last month. What Jordans was Shane wearing this time? The Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard.

 

After a few words back and forth Undertaker and Shane eventually began going at it which ultimately lead to Shane getting chokeslammed thanks to his dad, Vince McMahon. At least he took the beating while rocking a fresh pair of kicks, right?

Do you think Shane will be wearing the Air Jordan 12 French Blue for Wrestlemania 32?

Chris Paul Will Be Wearing The Jordan CP3.IX AE During The Post Season

The NBA regular season is coming to an end. Only 16 of the 30 NBA teams will move on to compete for the NBA Championship. and there’s no doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers will be one of those teams. With that being the case, today we’re going to show you what shoe Chris Paul will be wearing during this year’s playoffs. Let’s take a first look at the Jordan CP3.IX AE.

The Jordan CP3.IX AE appears to feature a lighter overall build when comparing it to the original Jordan CP3.IX. This is made possible since the shoe looks to use more mesh (lighter) construction for the upper. This particular colorway comes in a bright green upper contrasted by the orange hits placed on the laces and tri-colored midsole. A grey hue tones things down a bit, while the silver Jumpman on the heel gives the shoe an additional bold feature. Expect these to release in the near future. Cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The color is really bad, but I’m trying to look past it and simply judge the shoe for what it is. With that being said, the shoe is decent and the lighter feel on the upper appears to be a positive. Looking forward to see other colorways on the model.

Who Is Picking Up The Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above On Saturday

The day is almost here. 5 days away to be exact. A brand new color scheme on the Air Jordan 4 is scheduled to drop this Saturday and today we take a look at these brand new images of the Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above.

Said to be inspired by Michael Jordan?s ability to take flight and soar through the air, the Dunk From Above colorway boasts a brand new look we’re not used to seeing on the highly coveted Air Jordan model. A navy blue leather upper sitting on top of a gum bottom outsole, yea, that’s not something you see on the Air Jordan 4 every day. Additional features on the shoe include the white accents on the netting an midsole, while the yellow accents throughout provide a bold contrast on the shoe. Is this a hit or miss colorway? Honestly, I have no idea. I guess we will have to wait and see. Dropping March 19th for $190, let us know if you plan on scooping up a pair. Need more info, be sure to visit our Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above hub page for the latest info on the shoe.

Author’s Take

For the most part, people look to be sleeping on the shoe because it’s not a OG colorway and because of the navy blue leather upper. I hope they continue to do so to make it easier for me to get a pair.
