Images of the “25th Anniversary” Air Jordan and its packaging

Brandon King

This year, 2020, is the 25th anniversary of the Air Jordan 11 and in celebration Jordan Brand decided to mail it in with this colorway. It sports a black mesh upper overlaid by a black patent leather rand that is more in line with the height with the originals, as it should be ( sorry people, scanty patent leather has no place on an Air Jordan XI). Other exciting features include “JORDAN” spelled down the lace loops and a metallic Jumpman on the ankle. Throw in the embroidered “23” on…

Could another “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1 be on the way in 2021?

Brandon King

If the “Shattered Backboard” series of Air Jordan 1 were a movie franchise, it would be the Matrix. Like the Matrix, the first Shattered Backboard was wildly but each follow up has hit the mark a little less effectively than its predecessor. However unlike the Wachowski brothers, Nike (allegedly) may not have learned that lesson. Rumblings of an Air Jordan 1 that is planned for a Summer 2021 could be the continuation of that theme. At this very early juncture, there are no images available but sneaker reportedly makes use…

Black and Red Air Jordan 1 Mid: Official Images

Brandon King

Well, well, it seems that Jordan Brand is firmly entrenched in its mission to squeeze every little drop out of black and renditions of the Air Jordan I and this upcoming version of MJ’s first signature kicks is a prime example of this. It displays a level of laziness that their customer base should find insulting. As can be seen, this mid lifts the aesthetic directly from the iconic black and red OG High, with the exception the overlay on the midfoot eyerow being red instead of black and the…

It was an aspirational challenge as much as it was a technical one. “Every game, I write on my shoes, ‘Be Legendary,’ which is what Kobe signed on my shoes back in 2016,” says Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker. “He’s had an impact on my life that no one’s ever had, and probably no one ever will…
