AIR JORDAN 4 – “FEAR” | RELEASE DATE

Ready your wallets because the next item from the Jordan Brand is nearing its much-anticipated release. After a couple months of preview shots – including ours here – and build-up, the Air Jordan 4 “Fear” will be hitting stores beginning August 24 in a distinctly tonal black and grey colorway. They’ve definitely picked-up a unique thematic that is not typical for the court-tuned silhouette, but they are actually inspired by the uncertainties that Jordan had while first beginning his rise to greatness before then instilling plenty of the feeling in his opponents as he reached his prime. White overlays and hints of speckles around the midsole complete the look, topped off with a large hangtag. Find more looks below and get ready for this “Stealth Oreo” in just a couple weeks’ time.

Release Date: August 24, 2013 (Saturday)

AIR JORDAN V “LANEY” – 2013 RELEASE INFO

 

Since the Back-To-School season is upon us, designers at Jordan Brand decided, quite fittingly, to re-release the Air Jordan V “Laney.” As a way to celebrate His Airness Michael Jordan’s path to G.O.A.T., the AJ5 “Laney” features the same Varsity Royal Blue and Varsity Maize Yellow colorway as the Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina, where Jordan excelled in baseball, football, and basketball. Though the design received a tepid reaction from both sneakerheads and Jordan fans when it first launched back in 2000, this 2013 re-release will not suffer the same fate, judging by the early interests. The Air Jordan V “Laney” will be available leading up to the holiday shopping season on November 2nd, 2013.

AIR JORDAN V RETRO – “BEL AIR”

Before Will Smith fought against zombies, explored a post-apocalyptic world, and policed the galaxy’s alien population, he held down Bel Air, often in a pair of an all-red Air Jordan 5′s. As a nod to the classic sitcom, the Jordan Brand has scheduled the release of a Fresh Prince-inspired design that features the colorways seen on the show’s intro and on more than a few pairs of Smith’s Hammer pants. While the upper is a Cool Grey with a Court Purple midsole, a vibrant mixture of pink and neon give the sneaker a very colorful and unique pattern that is sure to stand-out. The inner liner, Jumpman on the tongue and heel, and #23 also pick-up the theme, with the inside decked-out with the same vibrant pattern. Plenty of extra preview photos are after the click, which should be more than enough to entice you to cop when they drop this October. Until then keep chillin’ out, maxin’, and relaxin’.

Air Jordan 5 Retro Women’s Cement/Pink-Raspberry

A fresh new take on the classic Air Jordan 5 silhouette, the latest colorway takes inspiration from World War II Mustang fighter plane, featuring a cement grey upper accented with vibrant pink and purple detailing around the midsole, tongue and collar. Signed off with “23″ detailing at the heel of the shoe, the Cement/Pink-Raspberry colorway will be available at Jordan Brand stockists like Sneaker Politics come August 10 for $115 USD.

Air Jordan 5 Retro “Fear”

The Air Jordan 5 Retro gets a dark color upgrade for the new season in the form of the “Fear” edition release. Created as a part of the larger “Fear” pack, this edition of the shoe is executed with a deep olive upper, contrasted with black around the side panels. The midsole here is colored with a gradient olive, as well as translucent ice blue around the outsole, while red speckled detailing can be found on the signature ‘shark teeth’ design. Look for the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Fear” edition at Flight Club later this month.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE X JORDAN BRAND – AIR JORDAN III “LEGENDS OF THE SUMMER – UNIVERSITY RED

Justin Timberlake‘s special collaboration with the Jordan Brand resulted in a very limited edition set of kicks, including an all University Red pair of Air Jordan III’s that he wore during his “Legends of the Summer” tour. It took them a while, but a set has finally appeared online for sale via eBay in impeccable condition with seemingly no marks on their pebbled leather and suede upper or the smooth and glossy leather on the toe and heel. A white inner lining adds a strong contrast to the look, but the addition of a “Suit and Tie” inspired insole that commemorates the track performed with Jay Z, who joined him on the tour, really makes these a special buy. See more looks at the Air Jordan III “Legends of the Summer” after the click because they were already snatched up and we won’t see them again until their wider retail release later this year.

AIR JORDAN III “NEW SLATE” PREVIEW

 

The Air Jordan III is again making moves with plenty of retro and new looks that many of us sneakerheads are clamoring to cop. The latest entry comes in the form of this “New Slate,” which we just came across initial preview images of and wanted to bring to you first. Dressed up in a New Slate colorway for its upper paired with lighter shades of grey on the midsole, the look is finished with Nike’s signature elephant print on the toe and heel. Team orange makes an appearance on the outsole and eyelets, adding a nice touch of accent color for the otherwise clean look. With all of the other Jordan’s dominating the market right now, you can understand why His Airness would want to wait until January 2014 to drop these. We don’t have specific price or location projections, but stick with Freshness, who you know will bring you more when it comes across our desk.

Air Jordan 3 Retro “Fire Red”

Last released in 2007, the Air Jordan 3 Retro ”Fire Red” is set to return this August. The “Fire Red” version is one of the original colorways of the Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette and features a white leather base with black accents around the toe box and ankle. Fire red accents appear on the midsole, ankle collar, lace eyelets, Jumpman branding, and the inside of the tongue with hits of grey appearing at the base of the tongue, the eyestay, and outsole. This OG colorway is set to drop August 3 in a full size run from infants to adults at Jordan Brand accounts and online.
