It’s good to be Travis Scott. Not only are you one of rap’s youngest stars, but that status gets you exclusive access to special gifts. Such as, say, the hitherto unreleased Air Jordan Kobe Bryant pack.A tribute, on the eve of his retirement, to Kobe Bryant’s days as a sneaker free agent just prior to signing with Nike, the Air Jordan Kobe Pack comprises Lakers-styled colorways of the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8. Kobe wore both of those shoes during the 2002-03 season in between his Adidas and Nike deals.A classic reimagined, the Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red lands on shelves this weekend.Today, official photos of the shoe that takes the iconic white leather upper and black and red accents of the OG Air Jordan 5 mid, and repackages it as a low. There are a few Nike Air Max 90 Damen changes here and there — black on the TPU sidewall, Nike Air Max 90 Womens Grey a number-less heel — but the classic inspiration is unquestionable.It’s not often that a girls’ Air Jordan spawns the kind of hype that the classic men’s colorways do. But then, it’s not often that a girls’ Air Jordan looks as good as the Air Jordan 12 Vivid Pink.Sporting classic color-blocking, the shoe dons a familiar white tumbled leather upper, the same style that’s been seen on a number of beloved XIIs. But rather than the classic black or red, here the scaly mudguard, outsole and liner rock a bright, vibrant shade of pink. It’s a brash color, sure, but somehow it meshes seamlessly with the XII’s simple good looks.Last October, we heralded the coming of the Jordan Reveal, the latest model designed to further expand Jordan Brand out of just basketball footwear, into the Nike Free 5.0 Femme lifestyle and fashion-first segments.Today, the shoe’Adidas ZX 850 Femme s launch looks all the more imminent, with overseas retailers like 43einhalb reporting a March launch (stateside could be a month later). Whenever the Jordan Reveal does hit stores, it’ll bring plenty of potential with it. An Eclipse-like sole offers sleek, simple comfort, and the streamlined upper is equally minimal, as a seamless upper — mesh on this edition — pairs with a leather heel-cap. It’s stylish yet sporty.A solid gold Air Jordan 4 surfaced on the Nike SNKRS app this morning, bereft of much by way of explanation or further information.The new AJ4, which is sure to be hailed as an instant-classic if it does actually launch, is entirely monochromatic in its commitment to gold, as the metallic leather upper gives way to tonal TPU netting, rubber midsole and the like.An all-time Adidas ZX Flux Damen classic and one of the OG colorways of the beloved AJKO returns to stores this weekend. The Air Jordan 1 KO Sail releases tomorrow at select retailers nationwide.Off-white canvas comprises the hightop upper, a clean, casual look that replaces the leather of the standard AJ1. Red leather branding adds a touch of contrast, and throwback branding reaffirms the OG homage — “NIKE” appears on either tongue, and there’s nary a Jumpman to be seen.Michael Jordan’s alma mater inspires the latest colorway of his thirtieth shoe, and it’s arriving imminently.There’s no official school branding, no Tar Heel marks, but the Air Jordan 30 UNC emphatically dons that colors that’s synonymous with the University of North Carolina, as powder blue commingles with white on the gradient woven upper. Black around the collar offers up a bit more contrast, Nike Air Max Thea Womens and the AJ XXX’s signature globe graphics on either tongue glow in orange.New colorway meets classic model this weekend. The Air Jordan 2 Wing It releases tomorrow at retailers nationwide.Inspired by a three decades-old poster (seen here), the classic AJ2 sports a croc-embossed white leather upper, sharply but simply contrasted by black and grey accents and trim. That understated palette is inspired by the greyscale tint of the “Wing It” poster, a point that’s underscored by those words being emblazoned on the heels.Nike reimagines another classic sneaker as a backpack, because who doesn’t want to rock Js on their feet and in the overhead compartment on their next flight?The Bred Air Jordan 12 Backpack sports an almost entirely leather construction, delivering a premium effect that’s smooth and sleek to the touch. Buttery black Nike Free 5.0 Femme through the back and front-flap gives way to prominently stitched red along each side, a nod to the “rising sun” stitching of the AJ12. Breaking up that sea of leather, a black chevron-adorned textile is inserted near the bottom, that pattern underscoring the premium feel.Jordan Brand debuts a new girls-exclusive colorway of a classic Jordan next week, this one getting away from the pinks and pastels that are all too common on girls Js and, often, all too reviled.In fact, the girls Air Jordan 4 Deep Royal could almost be seen as a new take on the iconic “Military Blue” IV. White and grey leather comprise the upper, just like on that old favorite, but here they’re contrasted by a darker blue on the midsole, heel and lacestays. For an added dash of color, orange pops on the heel- and Adidas ZX Flux Dames tongue-branding, minimally used but striking in Nike Air Max 90 Herenits deviation from the norm.
