While brown may not always be everyone’s first color choice on a pair of sneakers, when done properly, it can really work. This new Nike Dunk SB colorway does just that. It uses a combination of suede and pebbled leather, a fabric rarely seen on Dunks. The suede has been done in brown, which is complemented by the pebbled fabric. Expect to see these during the holidays.
Every year, Jordan Brand sponsors the Quai 54, a huge basketball tournament held in France. By now, you guys probably know, whenever Jordan Brand sponsors a tournament, it usually means special Jordan releases. So far, we’ve seen special releases of the Air Jordan 1, the Air Jordan IX, and the Jordan Elements. This year, they’ve decided to go with one of our most beloved models, the Air Jordan V. It has a white upper, with translucent green eyelets, a black and silver midsole, and green outsole. The Quai 54 logo replaces the usual “23”.

For the Hare Jordan fans you just can’t get enough, check out this unreleased Air Jordan 60+ colorway. Taking inspiration from the White/Light Silver-True Red Air Jordan VIIs, this pair has a very similar layout, consisting of a mostly white upper, with light grey panels, and red accents. Of course, you can’t imitate the Hare VIIs without a red and green tongue. If I remember correctly, the Air Jordan 60+ wasn’t too popular with sneakerheads, which probably explains why these never saw a public release.
The Jordan CP3.IV continues into the NBA playoffs with this new Black/Varsity Purple-White release. This pair has a simple color scheme, with black on the sides, and white on the tongue and toe area.
