Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau “Midnight Navy”

Did you miss out on the Air Jordan 1 “Family Forever” – that Father’s Day release that was personally designed by MJ’s three kids to mimic the premium denim their dad likes to rock? Just incase you did, this Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau is a pretty sweet consolation prize, as it still features that premium aesthetic with added perforations in a matching midnight navy while an icy outsole contrasts the monochromatic upper. Once hidden in the archives for whatever reason, it’s nice to see the Air Jordan 1 Mid get some shine as of late.

Jordan Shine

The Air Jordan Shine will debut this Saturday, July 26th, 2014. The shoe has made news for its price point more so than its design – and at $400 it will be the single most expensive sneaker release in Jumpman history. But that doesn’t mean that the luxurious all leather upper with unique woven side panels won’t compete with other JB releases this weekend for a place in your collection. With two monochromatic looks in an eye-catching red or simple black, the silhouette went from a rumored Barneys exclusive to an eventual distribution that will have them at boutiques and big box stores. Continue onward for more from these two Jordan Shine pairs and let us know if you plan on grabbing the premium Air Jordan 1-inspired model when they arrive at select retailers like Packer Shoes this weekend.

Air Jordan Future Premium “Metallic Silver”

The Air Jordan Future PRM “Metallic Silver” arrives at retailers tomorrow, July 26th, 2014. This release sees Jordan Brand bring back the premium style for the freshly minted Air Jordan 11-inspired lifestyle sneaker, one that gets subtle 3M detailing mixed into the metallic silver woven upper. They’ve also got a different approach to the color blocking, one that skips out on the monochromatic look for a black lining and tongue to contrast the icy outsole. Be sure to check out more images of the latest Jordan Future release after the click and while you can grab this pair at select retailers like Wish ATL.

Original Jordan Spiz’ike To Re-release This Summer

The year in Jordan hybrids just got deeper – it appears that the Jordan Spiz’ike is set to make a return in its first-ever colorway from 2006, shown here. So far the only concrete release date attached is an August 9th one for Europe, but that date would certainly make sense for the states as well given that the similar Jordan 6 “History of Jordan” will be debuting on that same day. Will we see folks revisiting the well on this OG Spizike pair with a certain air of nostalgia, or are hybrids still too stuck in the shadow of retros to drum up any excitement? Let us know in the comments down below. Note: photos are of the 2006 release.

Air Jordan 12 Kevin Martin “Kings”

When was the last time you saw an Air Jordan player exclusive put the full name of the connected player onto the shoe? Usually we’ll see nicknames or just last names placed there, but that’s not the case for this Kevin Martin Air Jordan 12 creation from his Sacramento Kings days. We’re assuming that’s the result of the overall brevity of Martin’s full government and his lack of a real nickname other than “K-Mart”, which you know Jordan Brand isn’t going to slap onto a shoe.

Chris Paul’s Air Jordan 5 “CP3″

It’s a safe bet at this point that there isn’t a retail release coming anytime soon for the Air Jordan 5 “CP3″. They were rumored to being showing up for Holiday 2013, but have since sort of faded into the ether without much explanation as to why. Reminding us of how exciting such a release would be is this new photo set, which does a better job than previous ones showing off that sort of linear texture across the upper. Get extra imagery on the Chris Paul Air Jordan Vafter the break and tell us where they rank in terms of all-time unreleased Jordan samples.

Air Jordan 29 Release Date

The Air Jordan 29 is headed to retailers beginning this September 3rd in the Black/Red/Elephant Colorway and later on September 13th in the Team Orange version. The shoe, billed as being “Tailored for Flight”, features a woven material on the upper allowing for the sneaker to be seamless in construction with the added benefit of nearly an endless array of potential prints and patterns, all while resting on the Jordan Flight Plate, and each pair will retail for $225.

Air Jordan Future “White Sole”

It always feels a little bit unsettling to see an Air Jordan 11 with a sole on bottom that isn’t of the typical icy persuasion. The same already holds true for the new Jordan Future, a shoe that is shown here with a more solid kit on bottom. Mind you there are pieces that do the translucent thing, but those are sort of isolated within the otherwise clean white surface. Take a look at this Air Jordan Future sample with us after the break and then tell us whether or not you’re hoping that they will release.

Air Jordan Future Flight Remix Black/Vibrant/Yellow

Jordan Brand has long since mastered the art of taking inspiration from their legendary signature line and incorporating elements to bring us a familiar, yet new look via a hybrid design. The latest is the Air Jordan Future Flight Remix, which makes the Air Jordan 5inspiration perhaps the most obvious thanks to a side ventilation unit. The initial colorway will channel the Thunder look previously seen on the Air Jordan 14 thanks to a black base and vibrant yellow accents arriving on the midsole, speckled laces and stitching. Are you excited about the latest retro inspired model from Jordan Brand? Continue onward for a better view of the Jordan Future Flight Remix and be on the lookout for this pair to release come July 23rd, 2014.

Air Jordan 15 “White/Black”

Did you know that there was a string of Air Jordan XV pairs released exclusively at Eastbay back in 2000? Apparently the set was originally intended for NCAA and NBA players, but eventually found its way to that massive footwear retailer. Shown here is a white/black pair from the set, which gets even more confusing in terms of origin with that Nike Employee Store stamp that shoes up on the tag.

Air Jordan 14 GS “Hyper Pink”

The Air Jordan 14 has two new colorways coming out in the next ten days. Not all Air Jordansare created equal though – the second of them will only be available in smaller sizes. The idea of pink as a girly color is carried on by the shrink and pink pair, which will start at $120 for the youth sizes and run all the way down to $55 for the crib ones.

Air Jordan 1 Low Black/Red Elephant Print

Ever since last year’s release of the Air Jordan 1 “Bred” came and went, those who missed out have been on the lookout for the best possible alternative to that OG AJ1 style. Coming in as a pretty good contender is this Air Jordan 1 Low, which stays close to the classic “Bred” blocking save for the black bottoms. They also deviate in their appropriation of the elephant print from the Air Jordan 3.

Air Jordan 8 – Signed Michael Finley “Spurs” PE

It’s no secret that the Spurs aren’t the most exciting of sneaker squads in the NBA. They’ve proven their championship pedigree plenty of times, but their sneakers in the modern era haven’t really been the source of too much buzz. Perhaps Kawhi Leonard, Jordan Brand athlete that he is, can remedy that though. Giving him some pointers as far as possible colorways for Spurs Air Jordans is this pair from the collection of Michael Finley.Check out the images for this autographed Air Jordan 8 that was created for the man called Fin.
