Rare Air: Air Jordan XVI (16) Retro Unreleased Sample

With the exception of the 2008 7/16 Collezione Pack, the Air Jordan 16 hasn’t received much retro love from Jordan Brand since its initial release. It seems, however, that Jordan Brand did consider at least one retro release for 2012. Designed as part of Jordan Brand’s fall 2012 collection, this pair has a white leather shroud with red accentt. Remove the shroud and you’ll unveil a black mesh and patent leather upper, finished off with a white an icy clear sole. It’s unknown as to why this sneaker didn’t make it past the sample stage, but let’s hope it hasn’t been written off completely. From eBay seller OregonSole.

Rare Air: Air Jordan 1 Retro “Canyon Purple” Unreleased Samples

Posted In: Air Jordan

We’ve already seen a large number of Air Jordan 1 releases this year, but as usual some designs just didn’t make the final cut.  This Black/Canyon Purple colorway is a perfect example. This pair has a shiny Black and purple leather upper, covered with matte pinstripes. A white sockliner provides a nice contrast to the design, while black and white laces do the rest. It’s a shame that this pair won’t see a public release. It’s unknown how many were actually produced, but this sample was originally listed on eBay by seller jesusisbackintown.

Rare Air – Nike Zoom Kobe III (3) “Tile Posite” Unreleased Samples

Check out this Nike Zoom Kobe III sample, most likely created while the sneaker was still in its prototype stages. Instead of the netted upper that we received on the production version, this sample features a type of mesh fabric, finished off with a graphic that somewhat resembles a molecule if you look at it just right. The “Tile Posite” name can be a bit deceiving, as this pair does not appear to consist of an Foamposite material. What do you think of this version of the Nike Zoom Kobe III?

Rare Air: Nike Zoom Kobe VI Unreleased Chlorine Blue/White-Metallic Gold Sample

Posted In: Kobe, Nike

Nike may be gearing us up for the release of the Nike Zoom Kobe VIII, but lets revisit the Kobe VI to look at this Chlorine Blue/White-Metallic Gold sample, which never saw the light of day. Featuring a light blue upper with gold accents and a white sole, this pair was probably designed to match the Lakers’ Minneapolis “throwback” uniforms. If these were released, would you have copped?
