Air Jordan 4 being an important model for 2015

Looks like there was an New Jordans 2015 11 “Green Snakeskin” Sample produced to go along with the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low “Green Snakeskin” release. But it appears that maybe Jordan Brand wasn’t sure what to go with so they decided to give us the Lows instead and keep the Mids in the vault. Much like the Lows, this Jordans 2015 features a Black leather and mesh upper with patent leather panels that get a Green Snakeskin treatment accented with pops of Volt sitting atop an icy translucent outsole.There is no word on these releasing at anytime, nor is there word on the authenticity of this pair, but if Jordan Brand were to give us these instead of the Lows would you be satisfied? Leave your comments below. All signs point the Air Jordan 4 being an important model for 2015, both in terms of adult pairs and GS ones.Adding to the latter category is this new pair, which features a shiny look the likes of which Jordan Brand could only get away with on a smaller pair like this. Then again, they do have plans for a lasered, reflective, icy soled Jordan 4 this year, so maybe a future of pearlescent retros like this on the regular isn't too far off (this Jordan 4 "Prism" sample comes to mind). Remember that Jordan Brand is expanding the sizing for girls New Jordans releases in 2015, which means that more will be able to fit into this upcoming pair.

Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue caught my attention

A teal colorway of the Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue , dubbed the '30th Anniversary,' will be joining the 'Oreo' and 'Columbia' in 2015, in what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated sneaker years in the history of sneakers.The kicks feature a smooth leather upper, as opposed to the tumbled build of the aforementioned models. The '30th Anny' 4s, which pay tribute to 30 years of Js, feature green glow accents to go along with a contrasting white midsole and black mudguard.The release date is still a long time away, but we've learned that the teal '30th Anniversary' 4s will officially be launching just before St. Patrick's Day on March 14th. While scrolling through Instagram many weeks ago, a photo of the popular fragment design Jordan 11 Mens Legend Blue caught my attention. As I routinely do, I jumped straight to the comments to see what people were saying about Hiroshi Fujiwara’s rendition of the retro basketball sneaker. After sifting through all the emojis, I came across one that nearly sucked the life out of me: “Only Nike Lab release. Extra hard to get. Good luck kids. Someone will lose their life for this unfortunately.” It's ludicrous that there is this stigma of expected violence around Air Jordan sneakers. It's time for Michael Jordan to say something.Over the course of Jordan’s professional career, there was no doubt that he was the greatest basketball player ever. But over the duration of his time as a professional athlete, one of the biggest knocks Jordan faced was his unwillingness to take a stand on important political and social issues such as the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the growing impoverishment of Chicago’s inner cities. Though it wasn’t necessarily in Jordan’s job description for him to be a social warrior, many could not comprehend why he continued to avoid controversy when it came to issues that were directly affecting his community and the ones his brand appealed to.In today’s NBA, we see megastars like Derrick Rose and LeBron James use their stage to support the “Black Lives Matter” movement by wearing “I CAN’T BREATHE” T-shirts in solidarity of the protests against the non-indictment of officers involved in the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. We also saw Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony publicly express their sympathy and support for Trayvon Martin’s family after his death. These athletes expressing their opinion about the current state of affairs influenced people across the country, and also encouraged other entertainers and celebrities to speak up. Those numbers are staggering. But the acts of violence that come with obtaining a pair of Air Jordans are not new. The sneaker-related murder of teenager Michael Eugene Thomas on May 15, 1989 garnered national media coverage in an issue of Sports Illustrated. The May 14, 1990 issue featured the Jordan 6 Black Infrared and a gunman on the cover, with the stark line "YOUR SNEAKERS OR YOUR LIFE." That same year, 16-year-old Johnny Bates was killed in Houston after deciding not to give up his Air Jordans at a local bus stop. Most recently, with the release of the “Legend Blue” Air Jordan XI, multiple news stories broke that included everything from a Toledo, Ohio crowd getting pepper sprayed to an altercation in Cincinnati that ended with a young man losing his life in a failed robbery attempt. That Sports Illustrated cover was 24 years ago, but the same things are still happening.

Made with some of the most premium material, Jordan Brand is bringing us nothing but greatness with this release of the Air Jordan 4.The Air Jordan 4 “Legend Blue” is a resurrected classic dating back to 1999. The sneaker is made up of a white tumbled leather upper with Midnight Navy features throughout. Legend Blue accenting on the tongue and heel complete the look while complimenting the overall design. Hitting retailers January 10th, let us know if you’re not the only person in your family that wants a pair! The custom design, worn by GC911, goes the rare route of looking to a contemporary model for inspiration in the Air Jordan XX9. The Jordan Futures borrow the jumbo-Jimpman version of the New Jordans and even attempt to bring over the elephant print that's mixed into the woven upper. The result hints at the possibilities of a more graphic direction for the Jordan Future, a shoe that has steered clear of any overt branding or patterning. Unfortunately, Jordan Brand's 2015 plans for the Jordan Future that have leaked don't reflect such a direction for the retail releases.

Last seen in 2012, the Air Jordan 10 “Chicago” is all set to make yet another return in just a couple of months.

Jordan 11 Legend Blue MJs favorite model

Jordan Brand VP of Footwear David Schechter announced the decision that the Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue is going back in the vault. He also stated that the Air Jordan 3 “Sport Blue” was the last colorway to drop, which debuted on August 16th, 2014.This news was announced at the end of August 2014 around the same time we got word of Jordan Brand launching their “Remastered” versions of several different Air Jordan Retro models – all in light of Michael Jordan’s disappointment in the production quality of his brand.Could you imagine how nice it would have been to see a “Remastered” Air Jordan 3 in 2015? How many of you will be missing the Jordan 11 Mens Legend Blue in 2015? Wouldn’t it have been nice to put the Air Jordan 1 in the vault instead of the Retro 3? But we all know that wouldn’t happen due to the silhouette being MJ’s favorite model. Last week we gave you a look at the incredibly rare Air Jordan 11 “Golden Eyelet” Sample from the Defining Moments Pack of 2006. Let’s take it a step further into the depths of rarified sneakers with this autographed pair of these unreleased AJ11s; this deadstock pair of Jordans here not only has the gold lettering on the lace eyelets, but also the signature of Michael Jordan himself. Not long ago, we saw Jordan Brand's 'White Ice' Collection unveiled in Barcelona as part of Nike's display for the FIBA World Cup. Although many of those kicks will never hit retail, there is hope that some similarly styled pairs could drop in the future. According the Baltimore Sneaker Show, you can add this 'White/Metallic Silver' Jordan 6 Black Infrared to list of kicks to be remastered by Jordan Brand in 2015. The bleached out 5 was originally released 14 years ago, and 2015 would mark the 15th anniversary.

Copping New Jordans 2015 early

Originally reported back in June 2014, the New Jordans 2015 Motorsport will be returning in 2015. The release of the Air Jordan Motorsport silhouettes are inspired by the Michael Jordan Motorsports Team, which we’ve seen the Air Jordan 4 Retro Mars in a White/Varsity Red-Black colorway.The return of the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport falls along the lines of Jordan Brand celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2015. As of now nothing has been confirmed, nor do we have an exact release date set to share, but all signs point to the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport to become available in limited quantities later this year, 2015. Worn by Michael Jordan when he returned to the Bulls in 1995, the 'Chicago' Jordans 2015 is due back out in remastered form next year.Last re-released in 2012, the original colorway is back with MJ's old number '45' embroidered on the lateral ankle. Tumbled leather is used for this remastered version, which sports the Windy City trio of white, black and red.Expect a release for $190 on March 28, 2015, exactly 20 years after Jordan famously dropped his 'Double Nickel' on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. When it comes to people copping releases early, Fabolous is a name that should be brought up in discussions. All this year Fab has been on his '90s kick rocking sneakers, outfits, and even buying cars that were produced in the '90s. His most recent purchase was a 1995 Mercedes Benz that went perfect with his New Jordans even though the release didn't happen until 4 years later. Coming off a decade hiatus, the 'Oreo' 4's are back and Fab got his hands on a pair in advance. Check out his whip and kicks and let us know if you plan on copping those 4's when they release in the comments below.

Looking forward to the Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue

This year, Jordan Brand gave us two Air Jordan 11 releases for the holidays, the Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue and Air Jordan 11 Pantone – as part of the Air Jordan Ultimate Gift of Flight Pack.The color “Legend Blue” was highly advertised throughout each silhouette, as one features minor accents of the Blue, while the other is fully dressed in it.Some of the major difference from the releases begin on the interior, as the Pantone 11s use more of a luxury styled inner liner – similar to what we’ve seen on the Anniversary 11s. The Legend Blue pair was built with a full mesh tongue and leather upper, while the Pantone 11s has a more smooth nubuck-like leather build. Finishing up the comparison is the outsoles. The Legend Blue 11s came with a more milky/tinted outsole, while the Pantone 11s stayed more traditional with a Blue icy translucent outsole. Check out these exclusive comparison photos of both “Pantone” and “Legend Blue” Retro 11s below and for everyone planning on picking up the Air Jordan Ultimate Gift of Flight Pack tomorrow, December 23rd, good luck and please be safe.Which pair do you find to be the victorious one? How many of you are looking forward to the remastered version of the Jordan 11 Mens Legend Blue Well if you are then we have some new pictures for you that should get you hyped for the 2015 release.Dressed in a buttery all-white tumbled leather on the upper, this Jordan Brand retro is sure to be one of the most sought after releases of 2015. Metallic Silver accents appear on the tongue, midsole and the “23″ by the heel to add a small touch of color to this otherwise all-white sneaker. As you can see in the pictures above the release is set to be accompanied by the black & gold 30th anniversary special edition box that JB will rolling out next year. That’s an easy finger to point, and maybe public involvement from Jordan could help the situation. But that’s also letting Nike and Jordan Brand off the hook. The biggest issue surrounding these releases is simply a matter of supply and demand. More fans want these shoes than can lay hands on the pairs.Limiting the number of shoes in the market helps create a mystique, and exclusivity surrounding a product has been an essential element of Nike’s marketing strategy for the greater part of the past two decades. However, making enough of these highly anticipated releases to go around would surely help alleviate at least some of these problems.Online-only Jordan 6 Black Infrared is a solution that may sound good on paper, but is much easier said than done, and misses a number of logistical points. First off, many of these releases aren’t limited to Nike-owned stores. Nike traditionally limits partner retailers from selling their products online, and some may not even have the technical capabilities.

Prepare for your jordan 11 gs legend blue

Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue  with the same eyes, this black and white color of the Air Jordan 11 Concord in the upper uses the same golden Jumpman Logo, but quite different in the shoelace buckle, decorative metal ornaments composed of letters JORDAN, on a white background is very eye-catching. recently the network released a pair of Air Jordan 11 DMP "gold buckle" sample shoes, this shoe is part of the early sale of the Air Jordan 6 + 11 DMP suit, with the commercial version is not the same as ordinary the edge of the shoe laces buckle golden details using modified through this small detail but let the shoes more elegant temperament. Maybe it is an illusion, each release of sample always feel than many commercial models to be beautiful, perhaps my little ghost heart at work, I do not know the other sneaker friends is how to treat it. First released in 1995, the  Jordan 11 Mens Legend Blue  is the 9th signature shoe design by Tinker Hatfield. He wanted to pull out all of the stops using materials that had never been used on a sneaker before. By taking unorthodox materials, like patent leather and high end nylon, and combining that with design cues taken from sports cars, and even a lawnmower, Tinker developed what is arguably the greatest sneaker ever for Michael Jordan to wear in his first full season back from retirement. Actually Michael had worn the 11s in the previous season during the second round of the playoffs against the Orlando Magic. Tinker had shown MJ a prototype and Michael decided to go out and wear them to everyones surprise. Once again the NBA fined MJ $5000 per game because the Concord 11s he had been wearing didn’t match the color of shoe the rest of the team was wearing. So Nike quickly made the Space Jam version of the Air Jordan 11s for him to continue wearing during the playoffs, which they were knocked out of by the Orlando Magic The Chicago Bulls went on to win a NBA record 72 games that season. Michael led the Bulls to their 5th NBA championship against the Seattle Supersonics all while winning his 5th Finals MVP. During that season Michael broke out the predecessor to the upcoming “Legend Blue” release, the Jordan 6 Black Infrared , during the 1996 NBA All-Star game held in San Antonio,TX where he won his 2nd All-Star MVP. The “Columbia” Air Jordan 11 was retroed in 2001 and hasn’t been retroed until this “Legend Blue” this year. Check out our video review below and let us know if you’re planning on getting a pair or at least trying to get a pair.

Jordan 11 Legend Blue features a full White Mesh

The iconic silhouette Jordan 11 GS Legend Blue is dressed in a simple White, Black and Legend Blue color scheme. The shoe features a full White mesh, smooth leather and patent leather upper with Legend Blue accents sitting atop an icy semi-translucent outsole (similar to the Concord 11s). Other details include a Black interior and upper heel displaying the traditional White ’23’ imprint and carbon fiber dressed in Black and Legend Blue.Check out the official photos of the Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue below and look for them to release on Saturday, December 20th, 2014 at select Jordan Brand retailers globally. Jordan 11 Mens Legend Blue will be releasing in a full-family sizing and will retail for $200 USD. This version of the shoe, shared by frequent Nike collaborator Hiroshi Fujiwara, gets rid of the standard, smoother Roshe bottom in favor of Footscape tooling. This particularly high build of the Nike Roshe Run Sneakerboot has been a women's-only affair so far, but it's possible that this new version could land in the men's realm. It's unclear whether they are a Hiroshi collab, but he's prone to sharing forthcoming Nike goods whether he worked on them or not. This isn't the first and it surely won't be the last story we hear about some sort of chaos happening outside of a 'Legend Blue' Air Jordan 11 release. Most people have implemented a raffle ticket system which will be going on today (12/15) and tomorrow (12/16), but that hasn't stopped the rowdy sneakerheads from raising hell.We already discussed the riot that took place outside of Willowbrook Mall in Houston, and now we have more Legend Blue related drama out of the Lone Star State. Yesterday, outside of the Woodlands Mall in Texas, a 17-year old girl was tased by a Montgomery County sheriff's deputy after things escalated outside of the ticket Jordan 6 Black Infrared release.
