Russell Westbrook Has A Legendary 20-Assist Game In Air Jordan XXX PE
By SoleInsider
If Russell Westbrook continues to have 20 assist games, we’re not sure even the Warriors could stop the Thunder. Of course the OKC star won’t rack up twenty-plus dimes a game, but his crazy statline of 25, 20, and 11 isn’t far off from what he produces on a nightly basis and that’s one reason why OKC is a legitimate championship contender regardless of Golden State’s and even San Antonio’s record-breaking season. Last night, Jordan Brand blessed its star athlete with yet another Air Jordan XXX PE which features an all-black upper and a blue toe-box, all topped off by the RW logo on the tongue. Don’t expect these to release, but expect Westbrook to whip out PE after PE of the all-new Jordan 30. More photos just ahead.
Just like one of the original colorways of the Air Jordan 9, this upcoming loe-top retro goes back to Michael Jordan’s college days with a North Carolina inspired colorway. Nicknamed “Pantone” due to its similarities to the Air Jordan 11 colorway of the same name, the Air Jordan 9 Low sports an all Carolina blue upper with black accents and a solid white sole for a reversed take on the classic Powder Blue colorway. Get your first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 9 Low, and stay tuned for further release information.
Marquette Takes On March Madness With Air Jordan XXX PE
By SoleInsider
The Big East Tournament continues to on as Marquette is currently battling it out with St. John’s University for survival. The Jordan Brand-outfitted school has laced up the roster with some dope Air Jordan XXX and Air Jordan 2 Low PEs adorned with the signature school colors of navy, university blue, and bright yellow. Will we continues to see these on feet, or will Marquette’s road to the Big East ‘ship and more importantly the Big Dance come to an end soon? Peep these exclusive images below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more looks at Jordan PEs for March Madness.
Releasing this Spring will be a new colorway of the Air Jordan 9 Low that should garner some attention thanks to the colors used on the shoe.
This Air Jordan 9 Low comes dressed in a Black leather upper that switches off between smooth leather on the majority of the upper and a textured faux snakeskin on the mudguard and heel. Providing some contrast are a White outsole and Gym Red accents on the inner liner, and the branding on the tongue, heel and midsole. Since this is a low-top it will be a shoe that should get some heavy run this Spring and Summer so it’ll be interesting to see how sneakerheads react to it when it does release.
Dropping on April 16th for a retail price of $170, is this a cop or a drop for you? Also make sure you visit our Air Jordan 9 Low Black / White launch page for additional images, videos, and other updates.
I don’t really mess with the original Air Jordan 9 so a low-top version doesn’t even make me look twice. The colorway is decent but Jordan Brand should have made this a mid.

Look For The Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red This Weekend
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand will slow things down considerably with releases this weekend in comparison to everything they dropped last week. Arriving on Saturday is the low-top version of one of the most beloved colorways of the Air Jordan 5 ever.
The OG Air Jordan 5 Fire Red will be dropping this weekend but in low-top form making it perfect for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. This Air Jordan 5 Low comes dressed in a White leather upper with vibrant Fire Red detailing on the midsole, inner liner, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue. Hits of Black then appear on the tongue, midsole, side panel mesh netting and the Jumpman logos on the heel to complete the classic Chicago Bulls color scheme. Wrapping things up is an icy blue translucent outsole.
You can scoop up your pair on March 12th for a retail price of $175. Make sure to visit our Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red launch page for additional images, video and other important updates regarding this release.
The original mid version of the Air Jordan 5 is one of my favorite Jordan Brand silhouettes, but the low-top version just looks like an experiment gone wrong to me. These are an easy pass in my book.

The Air Jordan 10 OVO Is The Alternative You’ve Been Hoping For
Today we get a closer look at this upcoming tonal Air Jordan 2 courtesy of icyheatsole. This Air Jordan 2 featured a reptile-textured leather all throughout the upper with red covering essentially every part of the sneaker including the midsole, tongue, inner liner, laces, and outsole. The only hits of contrast come on the Air Jordan branding on the tongue in black and a dash of Hyper Turquoise on the outsole.
The Air Jordan 2 Low Gym Red is expected to release in early April for a retail price of $160. What are your thoughts?
Mistakes Were Made: Remembering The Curious Fits Of The Air Jordan 5 Grape
By SoleInsider
This past weekend, the Air Jordan 12 Dynamic Pink/Valentine’s Day/Vivid Pink/Whatever It’s Pink released to much fanfare. Despite being a GS exclusive, the shoe sold out quickly, with some many already being resold online and idiots doing really dumb things for them. But for every reseller that desperately wants to profit from this unique release because they haven’t been able to eat lately from buying 20 pairs of the Air Jordan 5 Low Dunk From Above, there was another showing their newest cop for the world to see. Like this guy…
Or this crew.
@jaklap
Or this one. Wait, this one’s perfectly fine.
@sandytejada
Or this one by Young Thug. Wait, it’s normal too.
@thuggerhugger1
So it wasn’t the end of the world like some people wanted to make it out to be. Yes, there were people clearly looking to become internet famous by putting on an outrageous outfit to match with their new Js, but there were also those who knew what they were doing and had a style that matched the kicks. As somebody who has several pairs of pink or mostly pink sneakers, it’s not that hard to find jeans and shirts to wear that won’t make me look like a fool.
And besides, all of this is nothing compared to the craziness that was the Air Jordan 5 Grape launch back in 2013. That was brutal on so many levels because it brought together a lot of things that we love and hate to love, like ’90s nostalgia and its counterpart fake ’90s nostalgia to appear cool, purple, teal, the Charlotte Hornets and the Air Jordan 5 itself. It was not the best of times, and I’m not just talking about the quality of the retro themselves. We had to deal with this…
And this.
And this gem. Words can’t describe my disgust admiration for this brave soul.
But then we also got a pre-Reebok Kendrick that makes it work.
And this gem, because #FashionKing.
So what do these Kendrick and Russell pics prove? That the Air Jordan 5 Grape, like the Air Jordan 12 Dynamic Pink, can be a versatile sneaker given the right circumstances. It can be simple or it can be loud, but a big part of it is how comfortable the person is wearing them. If they’re confident, they can pull off either look and not get clowned for it. So go ahead and wear the all-pink everything with matching Js. Just own it and don’t do it for the extra Snapchat and Instagram followers.
New Images Of The Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand will be releasing a brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 that is inspired by Michael Jordan’s visit to The Late Show With David Letterman fresh off his 63-point playoff performance against the Boston Celtics.
Utilizing the Air Jordan 1 as the silhouette of choice, this Air Jordan 1 is of the high-top and OG variety meaning that it will feature the Nike Air branding on the tongue. The upper is constructed out of a Light Crimson with Midnight Navy detailing appearing on the Swoosh, ankle, tongue, inner liner, “Wings” logo by the ankle and the outsole. A White midsole and University Blue Nike Air branding finish things off on this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 1.
You’ll be able to purchase the Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman beginning on April 30, 2016 for a retail price of $160. What are your thoughts? Do you plan on picking up a pair?
After watching the Letterman interview video I can see where the color inspiration came from as Michael has on a Crimson jacket with a blue shirt underneath. And also the microphone is sitting in front of Michael throughout the entire interview so it?s essentially always in sight. These will be a pass for me though.

A Better Look At The Air Jordan 2 Low Marquette PE
By SoleInsider
A few days ago we gave you a first look at the Air Jordan 2 Low made exclusively for the men’s basketball team from Marquette University. Today we have even more and better images of the Air Jordan 2 Low Marquette PE.
Being that Marquette is a Jordan Brand affiliate school, they get rewarded with Jordan Brand exclusives. One of the latest perks they were blessed with was the shoe you see above. The Marquette-themed upper comes in a navy blue suede accompanied by the safari print placed on the mudguard of the shoe. Adding a bold touch to the shoe are the yellow accents placed on the heel, eyelets and midsole of the shoe. Marquette’s logo appears on the tongue, while a light shade of blue is used for the laces. The shoe is completed by using a translucent outsole to house the Marquette branding placed inside the outsole. You can look buy you can’t touch as these sneakers are not scheduled to release to the public.
I these were to release, I’d buy them only to customize them and make them in to a Pacers PE. Then again, they are Air Jordan 2 Lows, damn. I wish they were just regular Air Jordan 2s.

Jordan Brand Unveils Air Jordan XXX And Air Jordan 2 Low PEs For Georgetown
By SoleInsider
The Georgetown Hoyas, UNC Tar Heels, California Bears, and Marquette Golden Eagles will rotate sick team-based colorways of the newly unveiled Air Jordan XXX and the recently unearthed Air Jordan 2 Low Retro. This evening, Jordan Brand unveils official images of the Hoyas’ digs, featuring the signature grey and navy colors on these two silhouettes new and old.

Get a detailed look at the PEs for all four schools below and let us know which is your favorite, and check out the rest on the Jordan Brand snapchat account.
‘Tis the season for college basketball PEs. March Madness is almost here which means major college squads that have had a successful regular season effort and poised for a potential Final Four run are being blessed with some awesome player exclusives. Marquette University‘s Jordan Brand connect is coming through in a surprising way this season, ditching the latest Jordan signature model (they did rock the Air Jordan XXX “University Blue” earlier this year though) for the likes of the rarely seen Air Jordan 2 Low. The pair benefits from the use of contrast University Blue piping and laces atop a Midnight Navy base, while the mudguard uses a familiar Safari-like print that subtly blends in while Varsity Maize swipes across the midsole to match the lace eyelets. ‘Nike’ branding surprisingly lands on the outsole instead of ‘Jordan’ while the real attention grabber here is the ‘MU’ logo on the icy backdrop. We’d love to see the Golden Eagles rock this pair come tourney time. What do you think? Check out a better view below and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.
The Air Jordan 1 High will have people talking again this summer with the all-new colorway inspired by young Michael Jordan’s appearance on the David Letterman show. The shoe’s colorway is taken from MJ’s shimmery red warm-up outfit worn during his chat with the king of late night talk shows, with a bright red leather upper and metallic navy accents. Mike’s light blue polo shirt worn underneath the jacket is represented by the shade of “Nike Air” on each tongue, while special “On Air” graphics with Dave’s microphone are found on the insoles. Enjoy your best look yet at the “David Letterman” Air Jordan 1 today, and check out the appearance in question below.
