Bookending an NBA All-Star Weekend replete with absolute must-have releases, the Air Jordan 1 Low Chicago hits stores on Sunday, February 14. Happy Valentine’s Day indeed.Reimagining the iconic original “Chicago” colorway as a lowtop, the shoe rocks a clean, crisp, premium white leather upper, framed with red Nike Air Max 90 Womens Leopard overlays and offset by black Swooshes and inner-lining. It’s new, certainly, yet Nike Free Run 3 Femme inescapably familiar; in the best way possible.The Air Jordan 4 Cement is flying surprisingly under-the-radar considering its imminence — it launches February 13 — and its primary selling point: It may well be the best release of an All-Star Weekend that’s chock-full of dope drops.An absolute icon, the shoe comes correct in its white leather upper, black-speckled grey trim, and black and red accents. All those elements are faithfully recreated compared to the OG 1989 launch, and that historical accuracy is underscored by the heels and outsoles, flush with “NIKE” branding in lieu of contemporary Jumpman logos. If there were a Sneaker Hall of Fame, the Air Jordan 4 Cement would be in on the first ballot.Glittering and gleaming, the Air Jordan 5 Low www.whiteparadise.fr All Star 2016 arrives at select retailers this weekend.Today, take a closer look at Adidas Superstar Femme Blanche the infuriatingly kids-exclusive colorway.

Silver Swooshes offer an elegant touch of contrast meanwhile, and various of MJ’s playoff stats are printed on the lateral-side collar in a digital Nike Free 5.0 Womensscoreboard-style font.This is a big weekend for releases. Well, a big week, really; www.restaurantlamasia.eu the Kobe 11 Last Emperor and Foamposite One University Blue having already launched and all. But Saturday has a preponderance of heat on tap, starting here: the Air Jordan 2 Alternate 87.Blending something old and something new, the brand new colorway sports a black leather upper overlaid with snakeskin-embossing and offset by red accents, a look inspired by how an MJ PE would have looked on the AJ2 back in 1987. No, it’s never released before, but it certainly looks the part of an OG.The exclamation point on a week full of dope drops — Kobe 11s and Foamposite Ones and . . . — the Air Jordan 1 KO Shadow releases tomorrow, February 6.Combining the colorway of an OG Air Jordan 1 High with the distinctive materials of the AJKO, the new Shadow pairs black and grey on a cool, casual canvas upper, with luxe pops of leather around Adidas ZX Flux Womens the collar and Swoosh. Punctuating the throwback feel, “NIKE” appears on each tongue, instead of the more contemporary Jumpman branding.Carmelo Anthony may have played for Syracuse, but he loaned his signature shoe to another college hoops power this week: the Marquette Golden Eagles.The Jordan Melo M12 Marquette PE was the perfect complement to MU’s uniforms, with powder blue mesh pairing with navy blue leather on the upper, while bright pops of gold contrast on the branding and eyelets. To emphasize the PE status, Marquette’s logo appears on each insole and in tonal print on each heel.The rumors are true: The Air Jordan 17 Copper will return in 2016, becoming one of the most recent Jordans to ever see a retro revival. (It still cedes that top position to the XX though.)If you’re going to retro the model, the Air Jordan 17Nike Free 5.0 Femme Copper is a perfect place to start. Not only does the shoe sport a striking white leather upper, croc-embossed black leather heel and copper embellishments, but this shoe was actually worn on the court by MJ during his Wizards days. Now those are bona fides.The Jordan Galaxy Gym Red continues hitting retailers this week, following its earlier NDC launch. The sleek lifestyle silhouette nearly glows in a crinkled red leather upper, transitioning to a smooth, perforated nubuck-like material on the medial side and the distinctive under-wrap tongue. Basketball DNA courses through the Galaxy’s veins, but this is an easy everyday-wear look.We’ve got a big weekend for releases coming up. Things kicked off today, really, with the Kobe 11 Last Emperor, before the hoops-turned-lifestyle heat ramps up tomorrow with the University Blue Nike Roshe Run Dames Foam One. Despite those, the week’s best release may just be saved for the traditional Saturday, and I don’t mean the Air Jordan 2 Alternate. . . . OK, maybe the Air Jordan 2 Alternate.If not though, here’s the other frontrunner for best-of-the-week: the Air Jordan 1 KO Shadow. Combining the iconic colors and color-blocking of the leather Air Jordan 1 High OG with the prized canvas construction of the AJKO, the shoe manages a throwback appearance in a contemporary style, all with the touch of casual style typical of AJKOs.
