Air Jordan 5 Retro Olympic

With the summer games coming up soon, Jordan Brand has decided to give another model the Olympic treatment: the Air Jordan 5. Using a similar layout to the infamous White/Black-Fire Red colorway, this pair sports a clean white upper, complemented with black accents and a metallic gold tongue. A matching gold lace lock has been applied as well to keep the laces together. The traditional clear netting remains intact, followed by a black and metallic gold midsole, overlaid with speckles on the sneaker’s gold “shark teeth”. An icy clear sole provides the finishing touches.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro Olympic is scheduled to hit stores on August 13, with an expected retail price of $190. At the moment availability is unknown, but don’t be surprised if this model receives a limited release. If you already have previous versions of the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 7 Olympic models, this sneaker will be a great addition to Olympic collection.

Along with the original Air Jordan 12 colorway re-releases, Jordan Brand has managed to design some pretty hot new color schemes for the sneaker this year.

Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate Olympic

This year, Jordan Brand has decided to break from its usual tradition of releasing the Air Jordan 7 Olympic colorway alongside with the Summer Olympic games. Well, somewhat at least. Using the Olympic 7s as base, legendary designer Tinker Hatfield has altered the infamous colorway to give it a fresh new look. The White, Midnight Navy, and Metallic Silver upper remains mostly unchanged, save for a red, white and blue tongue. The midsole now sports silver accents instead of gold, and gets complemented with a red gradient pattern, overlaid with speckles. Overall, revised design gives this classic a more modern look with not straying away from the essence of the Olympic games.

The Air Jordan 7 Alternate Olympic colorway will release on August 16, right in the middle of the Olympic Summer games. Expect a retail price of $190. If you’d still prefer the original, you can easily find the 2004, 2012 and possibly even the original version on eBay. Here’s a link to view the listings.

Nike Kobe 11 Wolf Grey Release Date, Images

Taking inspiration from the countless hours Kobe spent as a kid in Italy watching videotaped basketball games received from his grandfather in the US, Nike has created a fresh new colorway just for the kids. This pair utilizes a mostly Wolf Grey upper that horizontally transitions to Cool Grey, and finally to dark grey at the rear.

Air Jordan 12 GS Hyper Violet

Jordan Brand continues to get more creative with the Air Jordasn 12, most notably with the kids releases. This new colorway utilizes black ribbed suede up top, beautifully accentuated with Hyper Violet lining, tongue graphics, and a matching heel tab. Black pebbled leather is used on the lower portion of the sneaker, while cushioning is provided via Hyper Violet outsole. Metallic silver eyelets provide the sneaker with a subtle bling factor.
