jordan-release-reminder-lead

After showing you photo after photo of the four major Jordan Brand holiday releases, we now have finally made it to the release date of one of them. Tomorrow, November 21st, 2009, Jordan Brand will release the Air Jordan 12 Retro “Rising Sun”.

As evident by the striped design seen on the side panels, this particular Air Jordan 12 draws inspiration from Japan’s rising sun flag. It features a 100% white leather base with minimal varsity red accents along the tongue and heel. In addition, JB will also unleash the Air Jordan Fusion 13 in which many of you bashed upon seeing the preliminary photos. As stated earlier, check your nearest sneaker retailers for both pairs tomorrow. Click here to view detailed photos.

Air Jordan White & Red Collection at NikeTown

Air Jordan White & Red Collection at NikeTown

A little late for the Jordan Hall of Fame hysteria is this display, going on now at NikeTown in New York City. Similar to the online History of Flight we saw awhile back, all of Jordan’s signature silhouettes are on display in a white and red colorway like we’ve never seen before.

From the Air Jordan 1 to the 2009, all are present. Naturally, the 2010 isn’t on hand just yet, but given that we’ve only seen the D-Wade PE and first release colorways, that may not be too much of a surprise. All pairs also feature black laces. Which look is your favorite? Head to the comments section and let us know.

Air Jordan 6 “Motorsports” Detailed Pics

Air Jordan 6 "Motorsports" Detailed Pics

The Air Jordan “Motorsports” 6 has been a big topic of discussion since we first saw a sneak of it way back in March. More recently we discovered that not only was the Jordan Motorsports crew blessed with the Retro 6, but also a pair of similar of 6 Rings, which we’ve now seen in detail. And while you’ll likely never get your hands on a pair of these AJ6s, we do have some detailed shots for you.

As you can see, the midsole and outsole are both black, with a semi-translucent black on the latter. Black and white is obviously the theme for these, matching the motorcycle seen with the above 6 Rings. The only colors seen on these outside of those two are the red and gold letters on the tongue. Alas, these may be out of reach, but with 2010 promising a number 6 retros, including these in white and black, hopefully your thirst will be quenched.

Jordan Spizike Black/Cement Grey Detailed Photos

Jordan Spizike

If you recall, we got a glimpse of this Jordan Spizike Black/Cement Grey via Eddie Cruz’s Twitter account. Upon seeing this shoe the majority of you stated that it was somewhere at the top of your must-have list. It has been stated that this shoe will release in February 2010; meanwhile, check out detailed photos of this Spizike.

This Jordan Spizike is obviously inspired by the Air Jordan IV Black/Cement Grey. It features a predominately black upper with minimal red accents on the laceholders and sections on the outsole. The cement grey details appear on the straps and side wall. In addition, the inner lining ties back to the classic Mars Blackmon commercials. Could this be the best colorway seen on the Jordan Spizike yet? Click here to voice your opinion.

Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Re-Retro Debuted On Court

Air Jordan 11 Space Jam worn by Marcus JordanLast night Michael Jordan was on hand at the UCF arena in Orlando, FL to watch his younger son’s collegiate basketball debut. Marcus Jordan, who has been at the center of a brand-battle controversy over his footwear choice, came off the bench for 11 minutes debuting the 2009 version of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam.  Marcus contributed two rebounds, two assists, and one steal towards UCF’s 84-67 victory over UMASS.  

For those who old enough to remember, it was one day shy of 14 years and 6 months of when Michael Jordan wore the Space Jams for the first time in an NBA Playoff game against the Orlando Magic.

Anyone else counting down to the release in December?

Air Jordan 2010 Dwyane Wade PE


Air Jordan 2010 for Dwyane Wade
With a tap on the shoulder, Michael Jordan gave Dwyane Wade his approval and the go ahead to represent the Brand.  

Earlier this week the Air Jordan 2010 was officially unveiled at a media summit in Miami, but just a few minutes ago, Dwyane Wade gave the world a preview via twitter at his own version of the Air Jordan 2010 in an all black colorup with his name stamped instead of Jordan.

Different from how Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul have represented the brand, Michael Jordan announced that he is officially “passing the torch” to Dwyane Wade. Wade spent six years with Converse, but after years of asking to join Team Jordan, he is not only on the squad, but is the captain.

No word yet whether this exact colorway and Wade version will be available for retail when the model releases February 13, 2010 for $170.  Stay tuned for updates!

Nike Doernbecher Freestyle Collection

Nike Doernbecher Freestyle Collection

Sneakerheads everywhere were upset to hear that the online release of the Air Jordan 6 Doernbecher was premature and resulted in refunds, not sneakers. But tomorrow, the chance to grab these charity-benefiting sneaks at 21 Mercer St. in NYC.

The whole collection will be available. That means a Jordan 6 Retro, Zoom Paul Rodriguez 3, Air Force 1 ‘07 LE, Air Zenyth, Dunk HI Skinny and a Shox NZ will release in various colorways and treatments. If you recall from past articles on this collection, children from the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital designed these and all proceeds from shoe sales benefit programs at Doernbecher, the pediatric center serving the Oregon and greater Northwest areas.
