This year, Jordan Brand has proved that it can consistently churn out hot new Air Jordan colorways, but unfortunately some of the best designs have been created exclusively for the kids. A prime example is this upcoming Black/Iron Purple-Bleached Turquoise-Wolf Grey Air Jordan 3 GS colorway. It sports a black suede upper, highlighted with a turquoise on the midsole and ankle areas. Wolf Grey elephant print has been placed on the heel and toe areas with superb effects. At the moment, I’m quite envious of the folks who can fit into this GS-only release, but hopefully Jordan Brand will have a change of heart someday and produce these for us big kids. The Bleached Turquoise Air Jordan 3 Retro GS will be available on Saturday, August 9 for $120.

Jordan Brand has gotten creative with the Air Jordan 6 to create a new colorway that not only sneakerheads, but manga fans can appreciate as well. This new colorway takes inspiration from none other than Takehiko Inoue’s Slam Dunk, manga, which began in 1990. It centers around aspiring basketball player Hanamichi Sakuragi (who also rocks the Infrared Air Jordan VI) and his quest to be the best player on the Shohoku High basketball team. While only a few chapters were translated into English after the series ended in Japan, Slam Dunk remains as one of the most popular manga series of all time, with millions of graphic novels sold and a hit anime series.
Using Sakuragi an inspiration, this pair has received a bright red upper, overlaid with a 3M reflective graphic of Sakuragi on the side. Red laces and a white and red sole have been applied as well. At the moment, no release info has been announced, but keep checking back for updates.
