It’s quite unlikely that Jordan Brand will ever get into the fur coat business, but this new fleece-covered Air Jordan 1 gives is a perfect substitute, and gives us a glimpse of what Jordan Brand furs could look like.
As the name hints, this new colorway has been draped in a medium grey fleece fabric used along the midfoot and ankle areas. The remainder of the sneaker utilizes black full-grain leather, contrasted with beautiful Metallic Red Bronze swoosh and a matching Air Jordan “Wings” logos. The sole is molded in white and black, held in place with black stitches.

Somewhat reminiscent of 2009’s Raging Bull Pack colorway, the Air Jordan 5 once again dons red suede for this upcoming release, and it doesn’t disappoint.
Featuring even more red than its predecessor, this version also utilizes red netting in place of the traditional clear plastic, complete with matching red laces as well. The usual 3M tongue stands out proudly and is surrounded by black lining. The midsole is molded in red as well, overlaid with black “shark teeth” graphics. An icy clear outsole provides the sneaker with a clean finish. The finished product might be too much red for some, but just right for fans of Jordan Brand’s previously-released all-red sneakers.
The Air Jordan 5 Red Suede will release in stores on July 1, retailing for the current Jordan Retro price tag of $190. What’s your take on this new colorway.

Feeding off the success of last year’s hot release, Don C is once again teaming up with Jordan Brand to create yet another Air Jordan 2 Just Don release for 2017. This release, however, utilizes a very unexpected color: Pink.
Just like its 2015 and 2016 predecessors, the 2017 Air Jordan 2 Just Don colorway features monochrome design, draped from topped to bottom in a light pink. Also returning is the quilted leather upper, which goes pretty well with the pink design. Matching pink laces keep the sneaker together, while suede fabric adds some extra dept to the sneaker. While pink may not be as popular as it once was during Cameron’s hey day, this design should still garner some serious attention.
No release date has been announced for this colorway as of yet, but it is rumored that this colorway will be the final installment in Air Jordan 2 Just Don series. Keep checking back for more info, including the release date, availability and pricing. Would you like to see any other Air Jordan models receive the Just Don treatment?

As a followup to the infamous “First Game” colorway, Nike is paying tribute to LeBron’s All-Star “Wheat” colorway with the Nike Air Zoom Generation Vachetta Tan.
In similar fashion to the Wheats, this pair features a full tan upper, or Vachetta Tan in this case. The majority of the sneaker is constructed of suede fabric, while the heel and ankle areas consist of perforated leather. Matching tan laces blend in perfectly. The most notable differences from the 2003 colorway, however, is the use of a white midsole, and red accents up front. A gum light brown sole provides the cushioning and finishes off the sneaker’s work boot-like appearance.
The release date for this colorway has not yet been announced, but stay tuned for an update in the near future.

Don’t forget, tomorrow, January 21, Jordan Brand will release the Air Jordan XIII Black Cat, a continuation of the series that started off with the Air Jordan 4 in 2006.
Inspired by MJ’s cat-like quickness on the court, this sneaker utilizes a mostly black design, combining nubuck suede and mesh fabrics.The only change in color throughout the design comes from subtle white dots placed on the laces. A peep inside the sneaker reveals a cat emblem, symbolizing the sneaker’s theme. The midsole has been painted in a glossy black to give the sneaker some extra flair, while the outsole is molded in black to match. 3M material is intertwined with the mesh fabric, allowing the design to really come to life at night.
The Air Jordan 13 Retro Black Cat drops at most major retailers tomorrow morning at a retail price of $190 for mens sies, and $140 for kids (sizes 3.5-7). As usual with the 13s, expect this model to move fast. For you online shoppers, most sites will release the sneaker at 9:00 EST. Here are direct links to Foot Locker, and Eastbay if you’d like to have your computer ready early. In addition, you can also find all sizes on Amazon and eBay.

With less than a month away from its release, Jordan Brand has finally released official images of the upcoming 2016 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam. Most notably famous from its appearance on MJ’s feet in the Looney Tunes hit Space Jam, this colorway is always a big deal when it releases. The fact that these didn’t actually receive a public release in 1995 also adds to the hype factor.
This colorway shares a similar layout to the infamous “Bred” 11s, this pair utilizes a mostly black upper, constructed of mesh fabric, full-grain leather, finished off with the eye-catching patent leather. The sneaker’s big fat laces are black in color to match. The midsole is molded in white, while the outsole is a beautiful translucent blue. The Jumpman logos at the heel and tongue are embroidered in a Dark Concord, providing a subtle yet very significant contrast to the mostly black design.

While most recent retro releases have been a close matching to their respective OG releases, Jordan Brand has taken things a step further with the 2016 Space Jams, modeling the sneaker after MJ’s 1995 player exclusive version. The most noticeable detail is the use of Jordan’s #45, which he wore at the time while fresh from retirement. In addition, the number has been embroidered, unlike the painted versions we’ve seen from all production Air Jordan 11s thus far. Oh, and don’t forget that iconic Nike Air logo, which can be proudly seen on the sneaker’s insoles.
This version of the Space Jam 11 will retail for $220, making it the most expensive release of the sneaker to date. Despite the significantly increased price tag, expect this pair to sell out in record time when it hits stores on December 10, 2016. Having a release so close to the holidays doesn’t help much, either. Fortunately, you can avoid the hype, lines, and frustrating frozen web sites by purchasing a pair early. You can get them in most sizes through a number of sellers on eBay. Here’s a link to the listings. Do you plan to, or have you already added the 2016 Air Jordan XI Space Jam to your collection?

With less than a week to go before its release, here’s an official look at the Air Jordan 9 Kobe, an all-new colorway inspired by the recently-retired Black Mamba./kobe_lakers/air_jordan_ix(9)_retro_lakers_white_concord_tour_yellow-1.jpg)
Air Jordan 9 (IX) Retro
Color: White/Concord-Tour Yellow
Style: 302370-121
Release Date: 11/19/2016
Price: $190.00
Designed with the L.A. Lakers’ home uniform in mind, this pair utilizes white perforated leather, surrounded by a contrasting Concord patent leather. Matching concord has been applied to the tongue, sock liner, and pull tab, while Tour Yellow graphics complete the theme. The eyelets are metallic silver in color, and hold a set of clean white laces. Cushioning is provided via Concord and white sole, complemented with a yellow Jumpman graphic. While we originally expected to see Kobe’s “#8” at the heel, Jordan number remains intact. Either way, this definitely a colorway Kobe and the Lakers would feel right at home shooting hoops in at the Staples Center.
The Air Jordan IX Kobe is scheduled to release on Saturday, November 19, 2016, with pricing is set at $190. It appears that this colorway will be a general release, but expect this model to move fast, considering not only the popularity of the Air Jordan 9, but also Kobe as well. Stores like Foot Locker will release the sneaker using either its Launch Reservation or Sweepstakes procedures, depending on the store. If you’d prefer to skip the lines and sleep in next Saturday, a number of sellers have already listed the sneaker in most sizes on eBay. Click here to go directly to the search results.
If this sneaker is as successful as expected, Jordan Brand should consider releasing additional Kobe-themed colorways. What Air Jordan model would you like to see with a Kobe inspiration?
