Rare Air: Air Jordan V Retro “Purple Haze” Samples

by Jumpmankicks on July 22, 2011 at 8:29 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan

Let’s face it, the Air Jordan V Low wasn’t exactly the most popular low top model to release, but this unreleased sample colorway might change a lot of minds. It has a mostly black upper, with the exception of purple on the sock liner and midsole. To keep things color-coordinated, the lace locks have been molded in purple as well. While I’m not certain, there’s a good chance these were PEs for Mike Bibby during his Sacramento Kings days, as he wore a similar colorway. These were originally posted on Twitter by josiah_lake. By now, you’ve probably noticed his White/Cement IVs in the background. Very good sign, indeed!

Air Jordan IX Retro Oregon Ducks Player Sample – Again

by Jumpmankicks on June 28, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan

A couple of months ago, we got an up-close look at the Oregon Ducks Air Jordan IX player exclusives, a beautiful all-black model done completely in nubuck suede. Here is yet another pair of the Oregon PEs, this time in much better clarity. This pair was recently listed on eBay by user Zach13g, but unfortunately the auction was ended early. Hopefully, there’ll be another chance to purchase these beauties.

Rare Air: Air Jordan XI Concord C.C. Sabathia Turf PE

by Jumpmankicks on June 25, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan

The nicest thing about about being a Jordan Brand athlete, is that you can have any Air Jordan model you want, whenever you want it. Yankees MLB player C.C. Sabathia has taken full advantage of this perk, having Jordan Brand create a custom turf version of the Concord XIs. The only main difference is the spiked sole, and red Jumpman on the tongue. On the back, you’ve find that the 23 has been replaced with Sabathia’s number “52”. Surprisingly, it appears to have been painted on, unlike MJ’s PEs, which were stitched. Sorry C.C., that feature is exclusive to His Airness.

Air Jordan Spizike – Spike Lee New York Knicks PEs

by Jumpmankicks on April 21, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan

Anyone who’s familiar with Spike Lee knows he loves the New York Knicks, so it’s no surprise to see Jordan Brand make a couple of New York Knicks colorways of the Spizike. Here’s a pic of Mars himself holding two NYC player exclusives, one in Blue/black-white and and the other in Orange/Black-White. Still no word on if these will actually release, but maybe we’ll see Melo wearing them in the playoffs.

Rare Air: Nike Zoom Kobe V “Throw it Down, Shannon Brown” PE

by Jumpmankicks on April 21, 2011 at 5:24 pm
Posted In: Kobe, Nike

Check out this pair of rare Nike Zoom Kobe Vs, created for the Black Mamba’s high-flying counterpart, Shannon Brown. Originally, these were planned to receive a debut in this year’s Slam Dunk contest, but Shannon chose to wear a different colorway instead. Completely different from the usual Kobe colorways, this pair has a white and metallic silver upper, blue midsole, and an aquamarine outsole. A red sock liner contrasts the rest of the shoe. A look inside reveals an insole which reads, “Throw it Down Shannon Brown”. Unfortunately, this pair never went into production, making it incredibly difficult to find; however, there are a few promo samples out there. There’s a size 8 pair available now on eBay. Here’s a link to the auction.

Posted In: Air Jordan

Here’s a pair of IXs I bet a lot of you guys have never seen before. These were created exclusively for University of Oregon players to wear in the 2011 BCS Championship game. Featuring a completely blacked out upper, these sneakers have been mostly done in nubuck suede, with the exception of the mesh tongue. The midsole has been painted glossy black, and the silver eyelets have been used to match the graphics. These are incredibly rare, but surprisingly, there are three pairs floating on ebay. Here’s a link to the listings.

Rare Air: Air Jordan 2011 Oak Hill Academy PE

by Jumpmankicks on April 9, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan

Take a look at the these Air Jordan 2011 player exclusives, created for Oak Hill Academy to wear. It has a very similar colorway to the Red/White Air Jordan 2011s, but you’ll notice that the fingerprinted area is yellow to match Oak Hill’s uniform. Oak Hill’s logos have been placed on the tongue. Still no word on whether or not these will actually release, but I wouldn’t count on it. One can always dream, though…

Air Jordan 2011 – Jordan Brand Classic PEs

by Jumpmankicks on April 8, 2011 at 11:30 am
Posted In: Air Jordan

With the Jordan Brand Classic basketball game coming up, it’s no surprise to see JB kick out a couple of player exclusives for the East and West teams to wear. Instead of using one of their team sneakers, Jordan Brand decided to go with the best, the Air Jordan 2011. Two colorways were created for players to wear, a red and black colorway to represent the West team, and an Orion blue and black colorway to represent the East. Both colorways have a two-tone appearance on the upper, which does a great job of accentuating the fingerprint, and the entire sneaker as well. If you’d like to get your hands on these, they will be available at House of Hoops locations on April 14, 2011. (4/14/2011).

Ray Allen is notorious for wearing the hottest player exclusives. Just in the last couple of years, we’ve seen Sugar Ray in an exclusive Air Jordan 2010 colorway, the Jumpman Pro,  and who could forget the White and Gold Air Jordan XIs? The list goes on. Here’s a look at a pair of Air Jordan IIs made exclusively for the NBA’s best three-point shooter. Created to be worn during the Celtics’ home games, the IIs, have a mostly white upper with green accents. Ray Allen’s nickname has been embroidered on the side. Pics from Osneaker, who also has this pair available for purchase.

Jordan CP3 III Chris Paul 2010 All-Star Game PEs

by Jumpmankicks on February 16, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan

If you caught Sunday’s All-Star game, then you may have noticed that Chris Paul was wearing a never-before-seen pair of CP3 IIIs. Well, here’s a much more detailed view. As you can see below, this pair uses a combination of bother leather and patent leather. On the top portion of the upper, it starts off as red, and fades to yellow at the tongue. The side has been decorated with white stars, and the midsole is red with white speckles. Pretty nice colorway overall, let’s hope these at least make it to House of Hoops.
