Air Jordan 1 Retro ’99 “Vibrant Yellow”

The Air Jordan 1 Retro 99 is set to release on July 9th, 2014. When the sneaker first shows up, this vibrant yellow version will be one of the two colorways available. Like so many other Air Jordan 1 hybrids in the past year, they’re not entirely committed to copying the Jordan 14 “Thunder” pair that’s obviously being referenced.

Air Jordan 14 Retro “Ferrari”

Could the red suede Air Jordan 14 “Ferrari” end up as the most celebrated colorway of that sneaker? It’s got history standing in its way: OG devotees of the Air Jordan line will likely never put them higher on a favorites list than the likes of the moment-making Air Jordan 14 “Last Shot”. With that being said, the younger generation seems particularly drawn to these sort of dripping red looks, so they’ll definitely have their supporters. See the shoes in better detail below and tell us in the comments if you’re excited for this new pair of Jordan 14s.

Air Jordan 14 “Black Toe”

The Air Jordan 14 “Black Toe” retro is one that we’ve known about since December of last year, when a horde of preview photos gave us the first glimpse at which Jordan retros would show up in the latter part of 2014. Those shoes continue to get closer in terms of release dates, and so more photos showing them off are in turn available. The amount of original colorways that will be available during this shoe’s 2014 presence seems pretty slim, so you’d be advised to keep an eye on the “Black Toes” if that’s your thing. Do that with us by checking out the photos below and stay tuned to Sneaker News to find out more on them.

SOLEFLY X AIR JORDAN III RETRO

Outside of PEs and other special editions created for players and celebrities, it’s pretty rare to see Jordan Brand do collaborations with outside partners. Over the years, we’ve seen a handful of such cases; the much-coveted UNDFTD Air Jordan IVs, Dave White’s paint splattered Air Jordan 1 creations, and even the denim-centric Levi’s 23/501 pack from 2008 to name a few. These instances have been few and far between, but there’s now another pair on the horizon that will soon join that exclusive company.

Miami shop, Solefly, has actually been one of the chosen few to already go down this road. We saw them team up with Jordan Brand back in 2012 to celebrate their two year anniversary with a special Miami Hurricanes-inspired Spiz’ike, complete with Solefly branding on the pull tabs. For their follow-up, the stakes have been raised significantly, this time taking on the challenge of coloring up one of the most beloved models in the Air Jordan lineage.


Solefly’s Air Jordan III is a careful blend of old and new. At a quick glance, the shoe follows the same tried and true blocking formula of the iconic OG editions, but a closer look reveals some vibrant accent colors that give the shoe a fresh new spin that’s full of Miami flavor. Inspired by the Florida lottery, which appropriately launched in 1988, the classic AJ3 blueprint gets made over with bright hits of red and yellow, a dark green midsole, and white reflective 3M panels for some added pop.

The shoe has already built considerable buzz thanks to the teaser photos and celebrity sightings, and the Jordan-hungry masses have been eagerly awaiting news on a release. Unfortunately for the vast majority out there, the super-limited run will be distributed to Solefly friends and family in celebration of the shop’s 3rd anniversary, and we’ll still have to wait to see if any are made available to the public. Continue on for our exclusive Solefly x Air Jordan III image gallery as well as an interview with Solefly’s Giancarlos Rodriguez, and be sure to stay tuned in the coming weeks for more info on this upcoming colorway.

Air Jordan 4 “OVO”

First, an Air Jordan 6. Now, an Air Jordan 4? Nothing about a release regarding any “OVO” Air Jordan Retro has been confirmed, especially with Jordan Brand brass confirming that the Drake partnership was more for marketing rather than for product collaborating, But still, we’re seeing the OVO logo pop up on some Black/Gold Air Jordans, and this first look at an Air Jordan IV has us a bit apprehensive. While the colorway of he sneaker is enticing, the logo placement is a bit strange. Why not the tongue, or the heel where the Mars logo used to be? Check out a full shot of this sample pair and stay tuned for updates.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Gym Red”

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Gym Red” will release on Nike.com on Saturday, June 28th. This continues a wave of new colorways of the AJ1 in the coveted “Nike Air” form, only this one is near the heart of the Bulls heritage with the simple Red and White colorway. A clean mix of flat leather and suede materials on the upper provides a nice contrast on the tonal upper as well. A retail price of $140, the standard for the AJ1 Retro High OG, has been set so stay tuned for a release roughly two weeks from now and let us know if these are a must-have for you.

Air Jordan V.2 Low “Concord”

The Air Jordan V.2 Low sees a classic Air Jordan 11 colorway this summer.

Above are photos of the recently released “Concord” Air Jordan V.2 Lows. As you can see, this V.2 Low features a familiar colorway with white occupying the toe, mid-panel, tongue, laces, and outsole. Hits ofblack suede rest on the toecap, eyestay, lining, and heel counter. Touches of purple complete the “Concord” theme by taking up the Nike Swoosh and Jordan branding.

Air Jordan 1 Retro ’86 “Kumquat”

It will be interesting to see how long pairs like the Air Jordan 1 Retro ’86 will survive. Jordan Brand could either let these hybrid styles stick around for the rest of this year, or keep them around as a much more permanent part of their retro offerings. The latter certainly makes sense as a method of helping more and more folks get access to the flavor of a retro release that might not be so easy to acquire. Familiarize yourself with this latest pair of Air Jordan 1s in hybrid form below and remember that Social Status will have them on 6/21.

Air Jordan 10 “Chicago

So far, the Air Jordan 10 “Chicago” is the only remastered Jordan for 2015 that features an original colorway. The pair is still considered a pretty sacred one, as they’ve only seen the retro light once before. This upcoming version will differentiate itself from that 2012 edition both by means of the remastered shape and the “45″ stitching that shows up around the collar, the latter being borrowed from MJ’s PE version of the shoe. View the hi-res imagery for this pair of Air Jordan 10s for next year after the break and stay tuned for release date info from Sneaker News.

Air Jordan 4 “Teal”

The Air Jordan 4 will be heavily involved with the remastered 2015 Air Jordan retro collection, and it won’t all be old colorways. Showing off what to expect on the new end of things is this teal pair, which sports a leather build on the upper. Mind you the leather here doesn’t seem to have the same tumbled texture as other Air Jordan IV pairs that have been confirmed for next year like the “Oreo” and “Columbia”. Continue reading for a better look at the “Teal” Air Jordan 4 and watch for this pair to launch next year.

Air Jordan Brazil

The Air Jordan “Brazil” pack is one of a handful of high profile sneaker releases that went missing from Nike’s official calendars. It looks like they might be back on though, and showing up a little bit early. The new release date for the Air Jordan 6 “Brazil”, and the accompanying Jordan CP3.VII, is this Thursday, June 12. You can continue reading to see full images of the double-sneaker set that will run you $500, just in case you’re still on the fence about putting down the cash for the 2014 World Cup tie-in “Brazil Pack” Jordans.

Air Jordan 2 “Varsity Red”

The Air Jordan 2 will finally get back to original form tomorrow with the release of this white/black/varsity red pair. So far, the Air Jordan II styles to show up in 2014 haven’t been too terribly hard to acquire – perhaps in part due to the new nature of the colorways attached. That theory will be measured by the speed at which these fly off shelves.

Air Jordan 1 Retro “Family Forever”

Just in time for Father’s Day the Jordan collective is ready to drop the Air Jordan 1 “Family Forever”. The kicks pay homage to Michael Jordan’s family and in particular his his family. They feature a denim upper atop a white midsole. The sole contrasts the denim coming in dark powder. The top three eyelets feature blue, red, and yellow which seems to point at his three children. Also present on the back of the tongue tab is a family oriented adage with corresponding years to his children’s births. The kicks are set to release on June 14th with a price point of $120.

Air Jordan 1 x Mache Customs x Bacardi “Mango”

This Air Jordan 1 is clearly a custom, who else thinks Mache is honestly the best of the best. There are contenders but when it comes down to it he is the king of Jordan customs. Jordan Brand should hire this man as a design specialist or something, look at how beautiful these are.. and for Bacardi, how is he not hired yet. It was a clean white base that was the scape for this beauty, I can’t even begin to describe the the gradients and designs so just look at it! I would ask like, love or hate but the answer should be clear.. but if you’re a hater tell us why in the comments section down below.

Air Jordan 6 Retro GS “Bright Grape”

The Air Jordan 6 “Carmine” colorblocking lives on in this upcoming pair of GS sneakers. As you can see, the Air Jordan 6 in question pours some color onto the upper’s panels, this time using bright grape instead of that darker red more closely associated with MJ, the Bulls, and Jordan Brand at large. They’ll be in stores on June 7th, 2014, so mark that date on your calendar if you’re hoping to pick up these Air Jordans. Also, do yourself a favor and take a look at the rest of the images for the Air Jordan 6 Retro GS “Bright Grape” gathered post-click.
