Sporting a white, black and red color palette, it eschews the traditional chenille tongue and multi color rear foot overlays for a more standard Jumpman-emblazoned tongue and toothed-patterned overlays, respectively. This upper sits atop a red midsole and white and black rubber outsole. The ”Paprika” Air Jordan 8 is scheduled to release 23 September 2022 at nike.com and select…

The upcoming “Ginger” Air Jordan 14 is a mid-collared interpretation of the 1999 lowered collared original.

Jordan Brand officially unveils the Air Jordan XXXVII

Brandon King

Although we have already seen images of the shoe, Jordan Brand officially introduced the Air Jordan XXXVII to world Wednesday. Unfortunately these images did nothing to assuage my overall siappoinment in its aesthetic. It seems the XXXVII is the latest sneaker edition to be a letdown after a high point in the series. This occurrence is not foreign to the Air Jordan line, as the XV was a clear step back from the masterpiece that was the Air Jordan XIV. At its upper, the XXXVII makes use of the next…
