It’s just a couple more days until the release of the highly anticipated Air Jordan 2011 Warrior Pack. With so many delays, for some it’s hard to believe that they are finally hitting stores. Just to prove that you’re not dreaming, here’s a few pics from Extra Butter. They are scheduled to officially hit stores on Thursday, June 9. If you can’t wait, you can get these now on eBay.
Now that the Air Jordan Fly Wade has been released, I’m sure a few of you are wondering, what happened to the Air Jordan Fly 23? Looking at its similarities to the Fly Wade, one would assume that they were scrapped, but apparently, they are still on the schedule. It almost seems pointless to release these now, but I guess the folks at Jordan Brand feel otherwise. There’s still no official release date for these, but stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.
What’s the easiest way to improve on a classic sneaker? Make it lighter. The designers at Nike did just that by incorporating its Hyperfuse technology into the old school Nike Air Force 1. Several panels on the upper have been replaced with the Hyperfuse material, significantly reducing overall weight. This pair has been completely blacked out. You can cop them not at Atmos.

At the end of April, Jordan Brand gave us an official look at the upcoming Jordan Phase 23. Of course, you can’t have a Jordan model without the classic black and red color scheme. Jordan Brand keeps the tradition going with this black/varsity red-stealth colorway. The upper has been done primarily in black, with red accents, and an icy clear sole. They will release in June.
Back in April, we got a first look at the Nike LeBron 8 V/2 “Triple Black”, also known as the “Blackouts”. Just like the name, the Blackouts are an all-business, completely blacked out version of the V/2s. Here’s a few more pics, courtesy of Air Randy. They were created for LeBron to wear in the finals, but so far, we haven’t seen them yet. LeBron shared these with fans via Facebook prior to Game 1, so chances are they will debut in one of the next couple of games.

Nike hits another homerun with this new Air Max Jr. colorway. It has an upper similar to that of the Dark Grey/White-Total Orange Air Max Jr., complemented with white mesh and purple accents. They are available in select stores now at a retail price of $160.
After months of waiting, the White/True Blue Air Jordan IIIs are finally out! They are available online at Finishline.com, Nike.com, and most other major retailers’ sites. If you can’t find your size, there’s a ton on eBay as well.

With the release of the Bred Air Jordan XI Lows getting closer and closer, it’s no surprise to see more pics popping up. Here’s a few more shots from TaoBao. Judging from the looks of things, they are quite close to the 2003 release. The Black/Varsity Red-White Air Jordan XIs will officially hit stores in July.

Superstitious? Then you may want tot get your hands on a pair of these. Nike Sportswear has teamed up with the Boston-based sneaker boutique Bodega to create this very interesting pair of Footscapes. Using woven material, this pair has has received a “Night Chukka” color scheme, which consists of earth-like browns. Bodega’s signature cat has been printed on the insole. They were released today, limited to only 350 pairs, so you’ll definitely need a little good luck beforehand to cop a pair.
Here’s a look at the White/Black-Varsity Red Air Jordan 2.0, just released in stores today. While they may look virtualy the same up top, look down low, and you’ll see that the classic Air Jordan II has been upgraded with a full-length Max-Air unit. These are definitely the best (but I hope the last) reincarnation of the Air Jordan 2. They should be available in most stores, but if you’re having trouble finding a pair, you can get them directly from the source at Nike.com.

After getting postponed a couple of times, it looks like the Air Jordan 2011 “Warrior Pack” will finally see a release next month. They are expected to hit stores on Thursday, June 9. The pack includes three colorways, Tech Grey/Chlorine Blue, Varsity Red/Wolf Grey, and Black/Neo Lime. Here’s few more pics from Sneaker Politics, who is currently taking pre-orders.
Here’s a heads up to let you guys know that the Denim/Bronze Air Force 1s will officially hit stores tomorrow. They’ve been available at a few online shops for a couple of weeks now, but sometimes it’s better to get an in-person look before making the big decision. These should be available at most if not all Niketown locations, but not so sure about the other major stores. If can’t seem to locate a pair, you can also get them on eBay.

Let’s take a look at the most-recently unveiled Air Jordan 2011 Q-Flight (Quick Fuse) colorway. This pair a black and photo blue upper, matched up with a blue and white sole. A pair of blue laces have been used in place of the usual black or white colors. Definitely brighter and more exciting than the first two colorways we saw last month. More info will be posted on these as it becomes available.

Adding modern style to the phrase “Blue Suede Shoes”, here’s a look at an unreleased blue suede sample pair of Air Jordan Vs. Similar to the Wolf Greys, the entire upper has received the suede treatment, this time in navy blue. Grey accents complement the sneaker, and the icy outsole and reflective tongue add the finishing touches. Not much info on whether these will ever drop or not, but stay tuned. Thanks to YungDrSeuss for the photos.
