The Air Jordan 2 Wing It releases in March, equal parts original Air Jordan and brand new colorway. Wait, what?Yes, technically this colorway, with its white leather upper, solid-black accents, and grey Nike Air Max 90 Femme Rose tongue and outsole, has never released. But the look is taken directly from an old Air Jordan 2 promotional poster that featured the shoes along with the phrase “WING IT,” all executed in greyscale. To bring the 2016 edition of the shoe full circle, that same phrase is emblazoned on each heel.One of the most talked-about shoes of the last few months — or one quarter of the most talked-about pack, anyway — the Air Jordan 10 NYC is set to launch in April. Today, we finally have detailed eyes on it.Part of an Air Jordan 10 City Pack that will also include Chicago, Los Angeles and Charlotte editions, the Air Jordan 10 NYC sports a premium black leather upper, drawing from the simple, elegant sartorial sensibilities of the Big Apple. Metallic gold accents deliver regal contrast, and an exotically striped heel-tab rounds out the look,Nike Free 5.0 Femme evoking NYC’s “Concrete Jungle” nickname.The Air Jordan 4 Premium is coming. If you needed any more evidence, look no further than the advance pair that was just shared by Dez Bryant, superstar wide receiver and Team Jordan member who tends to wind up with coveted Jordans a few weeks before they launch.Putting a high-fashion spin on the classic basketball model, the shoe rocks a luxe black tumbled leather upper, finished with reptile-scale embossing around the collar and the toe. Tonal pony hair ups the sartorial ante as well, replacing the AJ4’s usual netting on the side-panel and tongue. In fact, the blacked-out Air Jordan 4 Premium goes so fashion-forward, it was originally thought to be the Air Jordan 4 Pinnacle, following in the footsteps of last year’s Pinnacle 1s.Compounding an NBA All-Star Weekend that’s already near Nike Air Max 90 Damen Schwarz capacity for must-have Nike and Jordan releases, the Air Jordan 11 72-10 restock is officially on the books.Sporting the XI’s first tumbled leather upper and a subtly glittering patent leather mudguard, both executed in black with the occasional red accents, the 72-10 was one of the most anticipated shoes of 2015. And now it’ll be one of the most anticipated shoes of a weekend that already includes the black Air Jordan 10 OVO and Northern Lights Foamposite One.NBA All-Star Weekend grows more impressive by the day. Instant-classics like the Air Jordan 10 OVO and Air Foamposite One Northern Lights are already set to drop around the Midwinter Classic, and now we get a look at another of the weekend’s highlights: the Air Jordan 5 Low All-Star 2016.A girls’ exclusive — I know, I’m sad too — the Air Jordan 5 Low All-Star 2016 marries Nike Free Run 3 Femme together a pair of bold styles, as a faint camouflage covers the grey upper, a sort of militaristic effect that’s sharply juxtaposed by a glimmering glitter finish.Following a surprise first-look just a couple weeks ago, the Air Jordan 1 Low Chicago release date is officially set.Joining an NBA All-Star Weekend that’s already chock full of dope drops, the latest Air Jordan 1 Low OG will hit stores February 14, the day of the All-Star Game.If it looks familiar, it should. It’]s red leather overlays, white-based upper and black accents combine to create a dead ringer for the Air Jordan 1 High Chicago, an original 1985 colorway, simply a few inches shorter in the collar.The Air Jordan 14 Oregon Ducks was met with rave reviews when we debuted the shoe back in December, the latest, greatest exclusive travel shoe for the Ducks Nike Air Max 90 Dame Pinkfootball team. If you had high hopes of somehow landing a pair, it may be time to adjust your expecations a bit. We now know exactly how limited the unreleased exclusive is.There are a mere 330 pairs in existence, the vast majority of which went to the University of Oregon football team and its coaches and various assorted personnel, while a few pairs wound up in the hands of Nike Air Max Thea Dames influencers or friends of Jordan Brand. That includes Carlos Prieto, founder of Miami boutique SoleFly, brother-in-law of the man himself, Michael Jordan, and the source of today’s photos.The Northern Lights Foamposite One has the potential to set the sneaker world on fire over NBA All-Star Weekend, but it may not even be February’s most coveted release.That, of course, may just be the black Air Jordan 10 OVO, the long-awaited second colorway of Drake’s “PE” that launches that same weekend; fitting, considering Nike Air Huarache Dam the All-Star Game is in Toronto this year, Drizzy’s hometown. You know the drill from the first time around: premium tumbled leather upper; stingray leather-style tonal overlays; luxe monochromatic palette. This time, the shoe’s simply executed in an elegant black instead of white.According to Tinker Hatfield, the Air Nike Free 5.0 Femme Jordan XXX took less than a year to design. Tinker began design sketches on the shoe in February 2015 at the request of Michael Jordan, with the finished product being officially unveiled in January of 2016. The Air Jordan 31 and 32 will not be nearly as rushed.In fact, as Tinker told Sports Illustrated in a recent interview, the Air Jordan 31 is already completed, and design for the Air Jordan 32 has begun, much of its design being informed by the technology, construction and philosophy behind those two predecessors.Says Tinker: “Having completed [the Air New Balance 996 Femme Jordan XXX], in many ways, is really one of the first steps for those next shoes. There needs to be some consistency as a brand, as an image, kind of stylistically. You wouldn’t want to take a Jordan shoe and be inspired by, say, a LeBron shoe. It just wouldn’t have the same Nike Air Max 2016 Femme consistency for Jordan Brand.”Originally produced in Italy, the Air Jordan 2 was a trail-blazing pioneer of sorts. It introduced luxury design to basketball sneakers, a decades-ahead-of-its-time precursor to the 21st century’s love affair with high-fashion sneakers. This weekend, renowned sportswear label Just Don steps up the luxury a few notches.
The Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Beach releases on Saturday, embracing the collaborator’s signature flair for designer sportswear. Luxe quilted leather pairs with suede overlays on the monochromatic tan upper, combining with tonal rubber heel and midsole for a truly eye-popping look.
