In this era of Air Jordan release dates typically moving further into the future , for at least one pair, we could see a reverse of that trend. The “Dark Mocha” Air Jordan 1 High OG, which could be seen as consolation for those who whiffed on the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 due to its visual simularity, had been scheduled to hit retail November 21 but that may not be the case. According to DJ Folk this Air Jordan 1 have reportedly had it retail debut moved up to…

Sashiko is a form of embroidery that originated in Japan. The technique first used in the Edo era by farmers to mend worn clothing has apparently now found its way onto the Air Jordan 4. The limited visual depicts a portion of a patchwork pattern at the upper atop what appears to be a light coloured midsole. At this juncture there is no confirmation that this Air Jordan 4 will see a retail release. More information on these will be provided as it avails itself.

The “Dark Concord” Air Jordan 12 is new colorway of the 12 that is scheduled to make its retail debut this upcoming holiday season. Rather than going with the much more visually appealing rendering done by zsneakerheadz months ago ( that was also similar to the Gary Payton PE), Jordan Brand basically recycled the aesthetic from the 2003’s “Nubuck” colorway, switching out the dark concord for the university blue. While this is not awful in and of itself, it does speak to lazy design and a wasted opportunity. Air Jordan…

Remember the Air Jordan XVI? It’s one of the-better-than-you-think teen numeraled Air Jordans , excluding the XV, that released after the XIV. Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker, who has become known for his on court footwear was seen carrying a never-before-seen colorway of the XVI prior to their game 1of their opening round playoff series. He would start the game wearing them before changing them in the second quarter. It seems these are an unreleased OVO version of the XVI. It sports a white upper with a reflective midsection overlaid…

The “Dark Concord” Air Jordan 12 is an all-new colourway of the 12 that is part of Jordan Brand’s 2020 holiday release plans. With its black upper devoid of any other color, save a few points such as the plastic “JUMPMAN” overlay, tongue Jumpman and rear pull tabs, it is visually reminiscent of the “Nubuck” colourway from 2003 and 2009. The obvious difference being the use of dark concord on the former and university blue on the latter. The upper sits atop a black midsole and outsole with a touch…

It appears that laser blue is the latest hue that Nike has put out on the proverbial stroll, with a plethora of recent releases prominently featuring the colour. It is now the Air Jordan 1’s turn to test drive laser blue. This upcoming Jordan 1 Mid sports a white upper with black Swooshes adorning the lateral and medial sides. Laser Blue shows up on the tongue branding and the lateral Wings logo and the inner, with a black collar completing the upper. The aesthetic is rounded out by a white…

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…
