Brandon King

The ”Paprika” Air Jordan 8 started its life off as a children’s sample back in 1993. It never progressed past the sample stage but it appears that will change this fall. 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…

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…

The signature reflective tongue is home to a fire red Jumpman, with the same branding present on the rear heel and coloration on the lace locks. “GORETEX appears on the left lower…

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…

“UNC to Chicago” Air Jordan 2 Low coming in 2023

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…
