Brandon King

ce its inception, the NIke PG line has been known for its themed sneakers, with Playstation and NASA leitmotifs of previous iterations , both well-received and well-executed.

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…

An initial look at the “Off-Noir” Air Jordan 5 Gore Tex

Brandon King

Typically winterized versions of silhouettes are noting to write home about but I must admit with these Air Jordan 5s, Jordan Brand may have a hit on their hands. This Air Jordan 5 is made to stand up to the rigors of winter. They sport an off-noir Gore-Tex upper with clear netting on the lateral and medial sides.

Take a look at these latest images of the ”Fire Red” Air Jordan 9

Brandon King

In our initial article on the ”Fire Red” Air Jordan 9, we did get on Jordan Brand’s case, and rightfully so, but this is actually a good-looking shoe. I still remain on my stance both this release and the ”Olive Concord” 9 are little more than pre-hype building, for the colorways we really want, cash grabs. In the case of the ”Fire Red” , well-executed, but shameless cash grabs nonetheless. As you will see below, a set of new images came to light, and it shows the grey overlay is…

Brandon King

In 2022 Jordan Brand has remembered the existence of the Air Jordan 2, with several, albeit collaborative, colourways debuted, or yet to release this calendar year. As eyes and feet turn toward 2023 it appears the Jordan 2 will still get some run with an upcoming low. Although there are no available images at this early juncture, predictive speculation assigns an aesthetic of a low-collared 2 with a white upper. Observing the shoe from heel-to-toe shows the reportedly supplementary hues of university blue and red in that order, which adds…

“Olive Concord” Air Jordan 9 coming January 7

Brandon King

The “Olive Concord” is the latest example of the Jordan Brand swerve where they release a shoe that hearkens to an original or well-received colourway but with with just enough differences to “necessitate” its existence. if the predictive visual representations are accurate the “Olive Concord” 9 takes the aesthetic of the OG “Olive” colorway ( black leather upper, olive nubuck rand and red branding) but replaces the red for concord. Regarless of how heavily the visuals may be borrowed , as it currently stands, the “Olive Concord” Air Jordan 9…
