Air Jordan IV White/Cement April Fools Joke (or Not)

Posted on April 3, 2011 by Jumpmankicks

A couple of days ago, I posted pics of a planned 2012 Air Jordan IV White/Cement release, originally reported by the site Tenusufki. As it turns out, this was only an April Fool’s joke, and these were just altered pictures of a pair of fakes. Given the date of the post (3/31), I had my suspicions, but tried to remain hopeful. I’m sure many of you are just as disappointed as I am, but all is not lost. The White/Cement Grey IVs are still rumored to release in either 2011 or 2012. Hopefull, Tenusufki’s joke will actually provoke Jordan Brand to go through with it. The way I see it, we haven’t seen these since 1999, and everyone wants them, so it’s just a matter of time. There’s no preventing the inevitable.

Air Jordan VI Retro “South Beach” Customs by El Cappy

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Jumpmankicks

Remember the South Beach-themed CMFT 11s I posted back in November? They were Ok, but custom maker El Cappy decided to apply the same theme to a much more serious sneaker: the Air Jordan VI. As you can see below, the idea worked out beautifully. Most of the upper was done in a brilliant shade of aqua blue, and portions of the midsole were painted pink to match the laces. Never have I wanted a pair of blue and pink shoes so badly. The box is pretty impressive, too.

Rare Air: Nike Air Max 2010 Unreleased Sample

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Jumpmankicks

Take a look at what could have been the Air Max 2010. This pair is an early version of last year’s Air Model. You may notice that they are very similar to the released model in overall shape and even uses the same 360 Max-Air unit, however the upper is completely different. Personally, I’m glad they changed it. With those stripes, they look too much like an Adidas sneaker. If you like these, you can buy this pair now on ebay. Here’s a link to the auction.
