The Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above is a very unique looking version of the Air Jordan 4. Two features on the shoe that we’re not used to seeing on the model help distinguish this pair from anything we’ve seen on the model in the past. Let’s take another look.

The first feature that makes the colorway unique is the fact that the upper is made out of a navy blue leather. We’ve seen, red, black, white on the 4s uppers, but rarely (if ever) have we seen a navy blue leather on the upper. The second feature we’re not accustomed to seeing on the shoe is the gum bottom outsole. Again, we’ve seen, white, black, translucent, but never a gum bottom. Are you diggin’ these two features? If so, you don’t have to wait much longer to get your hands on a pair as they’re set to drop March 19th for the retail price of $190. Still on the fence about this “different” looking Air Jordan 4? Make sure you visit our Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above hub page for all the latest news and images of next weekend’s release.

This will be my first Air Jordan cop of the year. Really looking forward to this release. Love the navy blue upper, love the gum bottom even more.

The Air Jordan 12 The Master did really well and managed to sell out instantly even if it wasn’t an OG colorway. Today we take a look at another brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that happens to have a little bit of an OG feel to it. Let’s take a sneak peak at the Air Jordan 12 Golden Wings.

Right off the bat you can tell that this Jordan 12 shares the same color blocking as the Air Jordan 12 Playoffs. The shoe manages to distinguish itself from the Playoff 12s by the use of the gold accents found on eyelets and the small area on the side panels. The shoe also appears to have the text “wings” on the side of the shoe which leads us to believe there is some sort of theme to this potential release as well. No word yet on when or if these will release, but stay tuned to find out all of the latest information regarding thispotential release.

If the Air Jordan 12 Playoffs and The Master had a love child, this is what it would look like. It’s the best of both worlds, and I love it. If these release, I’m all on them!

The Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red dropped this morning. Did you decide to pull the trigger and get a pair? If you’re still on the fence on this release we have one final look at the shoe to help you make up your mind.

The low-top Air Jordan 5 comes in a white upper accented by the black and Fired Red hits placed on the shoe’s upper and sole unit. Notable features on the shoe include the black netting, two-toned midsole, black tongue, red lining, Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel and the icy translucent outsole. You’ve seen enough of the shoe already, so tell us, did you drop $175 on them this morning? If you’re still iffy about this release, hit up out Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red hub page for all the info we have on the shoe.

Author’s Take

I didn’t get a pair since I’m not really diggin’ the way the Jordan 5 looks as a low-top. The colorway is decent, but not good enough to make me want a pair.

Available on March 12, the Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red is the latest classic colorway from the Jordan Brand retro archives to receive the low-cut treatment. While there are subtle differences between the two, the low-cut has a life of its own and is perfect for the spring and summer months. Sneakerheads can look forward to seeing this quite a bit once the weather gets warmer.

Release Date: April 30, 2016
Price: $160

A standout David Letterman-inspired Air Jordan 1 will be releasing this year, as the model draws inspiration from the day MJ made a guest appearance on the David Letterman Show, fresh off his 63-point playoff performance against the Boston Celtics during the first round of the 1986 Playoffs.

Essentially utilizing what Jordan wore for the interview, the sneaker flaunts bright crimson as its majority tone across the leather upper, in addition to Midnight Navy and University Blue detailing for a bold touch of contrast. Most prominently located on the laces, tongue, inner lining, Swoosh branding and outsole, a white midsole is sandwiched in between to finish off the profile.

Finally, a special graphic is imprinted on the insoles, consisting of a microphone along with the words “On Air” to coordinate with its respective theme.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: The silhouette is a clear classic so it’s something I’ll never get tired off. If you check out the video above, you do see the inspiration easily, but in general, I don’t like the execution. I’m just not a fan of the colorway overall.

The White/Metallic Blue Air Jordan 1 Low OG Is Returning In 2016

Author?s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: There?s only a handful of Air Jordan 1 Lows that really catch my eye that I would even consider buying. Unfortunately this isn?t one of them. Clean and simple colorway buy just not for me.

We have been getting a few different looks at the upcoming Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar over the last week or so and today we get new images of the shoe that show us its unique upper.

As you can tell by one of the images above the entire upper on this sneaker has been made out of a reflective 3M material that glows when hit by the light. In addition to the 3M upper the shoe also features cement speckling all over the upper, Infrared and black detailing throughout the shoe, and Neymar’s number 10 and Michael’s number 23 by the heels of both shoes.

There is still no confirmed release date but Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar is expected to release some time this Summer maybe in June. We’ll keep you updated once we find out more.

Author’s Take

The only pretty cool thing about this colorway is the full 3M upper. Other than that I don’t expect this colorway to sell very well.

Fire Red 5s are one of the most iconic looks to ever grace Michael Jordan’s feet in-game. The shoes never helped him reach the NBA Finals, but when graced with that ’23’ PE block letter stitching on the heel, the Chicago theme was at its best in 1990. This weekend, Jordan Brand will be translating the look onto the Air Jordan 5 Low with a few minor changes. Outside of the low-top construction, the Black tongue and Fire Red midsole are pretty much a one-to-one match with the original. Here the mesh ventilation unit is tinkered with for an alternate black aesthetic, and while we’d love to see the ’23’ stitching return, it’s noticeably absent here. What do you think of the Air Jordan 5 Low “Fire Red”? Check out more photos below and if you can’t wait until Saturday, March 12th to pick up this pair for $175, know that you can find your size right now on eBay.

The Air Jordan 6 is coming back, but only for the kids, and not in a colorway the more mature Air Jordan aficionado would probably want anyway. The interesting new look for the classic silhouette features a mix of vibrant hues in neon green and Infrared for the accents while the leather upper goes with a shade of light lavender. More accents come in dark grey, including for the Infrared speckled midsole. Obviously a childish colorway, the bold look in Gradeschool Girls sizing should please many young Air Jordan fans when it drops on April 30th.

Marquette, Georgetown and North Carolina have all gotten their own PE colorways of the Air Jordan 2 Low and the Air Jordan XXX, and now we can add a 4th school with the California Golden Bears.

Just like every other school, the Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX designed for California are both dressed up in team/school colors that include white, gold and blue. The Air Jordan 2 Low stands out due to the “Cal” logo that has been placed on the tongue as well as on the icy blue translucent outsole. With March Madness only a few days away make sure to tune in to watch Cal rock the Air Jordan XXX on the court.

Author’s Take

Being a UC Riverside alumni these are easily my favorites out of the bunch because if our basketball team was as good as Cal then our Air Jordan XXX would look just like this. Love the combination of gold and navy.

The California Golden Bears are currently ranked as the 24th best team in the country which makes for an imminent trip to the Big Dance later this month. Jordan Brand has been pumping up their programs with some awesome player exclusives lately, and now their post-season run will be accented with both the Air Jordan 2 Retro Low and this Air Jordan XXX. The Bears’ signature Varsity Maize and Navy colors form a vibrant gradient on the Jordan 30 while the AJ2 Low takes a simple ‘Home’ vibe to task with an icy outsole donning the cursive Cal lettering. Check out more official photos of Cal’s latest set of PEs and let us know where you think these rank in comparison to all of the other March Madness-themed pairs by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

When we got a first look at this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 4 last year the thing that most people were talking about was the fact that it had a gum outsole. Gum outsoles on an Air Jordan 4, or really any retro, is not something that we see very much and Jordan Brand did a great job using it on this Air Jordan 4.

Making its debut next week as a part of the Dunk From Above collection that also featured an Air Jordan 5 Low, this colorway of the Air Jordan 4 utilizes a Midnight Navy premium leather upper with Varsity Maize detailing on the waffle eyelets, inner liner, and the Jumpman branding on the tongue. Contrasting hits of White then land on the midsole, tongue and side panel mesh netting and the Jumpman on the heel. And of course the icing on the cake is the gum outsole that gives a unique and classic look to this Air Jordan 4.

Arriving at select Jordan Brand retailers on March 19th for a retail price of $190, will this be a cop or a drop for you? Make sure to check out our Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above launch page for additional images, video and other updates regarding this release.

Author’s Take

Easily one of the best retros that I’ve seen in 2016. I would pick up a pair but I’d rather save my money and spend it on the French Blue 12s that drop a week later.
