Thought enough Air Jordan IIs came out in 2010? Had your fair share of Air Jordan VIs? Got any more closet space for another Bred AJ1? Get ready to make some more room in your Jordan appetite because more releases may be on their way. Here’s a look at some Air Jordan samples; first, we’ll start off with the Black/Red Air Jordan 1 – we’ve seen it plenty in recent years (i.e. the 60+ Pack as well as the ankle-strapped joints). But this pair is a tribute to the rebellious nature of the original Air Jordan 1; dubbed the Air Jordan 1 ‘Banned’, this colorway features the classic Bulls’ black-and-red but with a neat “X” applied over the Jumpman logo on the heel and tongue and the Wings on the ankle strap. Just yesterday Sneaker News compiled a nice Air Jordan Commercials feature, and the first one we showed just so happened to be the AJ1 Banned advertisement.
Next up is another pair of the Air Jordan VI, featuring a white upper (peep the contrasting smooth and pebbled leather) and a blue midsole – a throwback to the OG September Blue colorway. The midsole features a dark grey rather than white, and the inner lining is grey opposed to the original black. A few other changes lie within this AJ6 sample as well, like the red-bottomed sole. However, these are just a sample version of the Air Jordan VI Pistons, but considering the Pistons VI has been enduring markdown after markdown on shelves, these samples might’ve been a better move. A few more treats come in a candy-yellow pair of the Air Jordan Accolades, as well as a highlighter-green pair of the Air Jordan 1 Phat Low, two vibrant colorways similar to two-thirds of the upcoming Air Jordan II Candy Pack.
Last, but not least, we have a black version of the Air Jordan II, featuring a nubuck upper, a shiny pebbled mudguard (possibly patent leather), and a black midsole – a colorway very much similar to the Air Jordan II Black/Chrome Retro of 2004. These are rumored to release within the next two months, but we’ll have to wait to see if any of the others will make their way to retail. So what do you think of these samples? A must-cop if they release? Better left scrapped? We’d like to hear from you. via modern-notoriety.

Those VI's need to be released like RIGHT NOW!
August 25th, 2010 at 11:09 am
it makes you wonder how the crappy pistons, oreoss, and lakers got released but these 6's didnt, and they look much better.
As for the 1's. theyre alright but not much of a difference than paying a cheaper price for the chicago bulls 1's
August 25th, 2010 at 11:13 am
i wonder what JB thought process is at times. Who makes decisions as to what shoes should be put out. Why would any1 think the mess that is the pistons 6 would be better than those. sometimes less is more
August 25th, 2010 at 11:17 am
man those piston vi's shouldve been dropped….banned 1s fire….
August 25th, 2010 at 11:18 am
I think they need to stop taking all these originally release jordans and putting stupid things on them just to change a sub title to make them sell. Its tearing up the "Jordan" shoe game and thats why there products are being said as crap. Jordan Brand needs to create there own idea and not hand the shoe to a little kid to but a fat X over the logo. I dont agree with alot of the shoes there re releasing and coming out with especially the 1s. The shoes being torn up left and right every month because of some weird colorway release. They need to stick to the real deal meaning high quality materials on every shoe not just on a bin 23 release that goes for 300+ nice shoes and all but in all the reason there costing that price is that there real high quality materials when thats how all the shoes need to be made. I would take a pair of originals any day and be proud to have the shoe because it means something rather then having a shoe with low rise materials and a big X thats just offensive to Jordan Brand. What does Michael Jordan think about all these release's? Or does he even have a say?
August 25th, 2010 at 11:23 am
thoose should of been the pistons 6's they shoud of released thoose
August 25th, 2010 at 11:35 am

August 25th, 2010 at 11:48 am

August 25th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
you cannot say no to this but the 2's do not look bad at all. instead of those ugly rainbow 2's why not release that black nubuck?
August 25th, 2010 at 12:06 pm

August 25th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
That VI is so much better than any pair put out in past two years…
August 25th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
all of them have to stay samples IMO except for the AJIIs…not being a purist or anything, but the, the VI's look plain, the accolades should be a GS release, and the AJ1's Breds?!WHO THE HELL WANTS X MARKS ON THE BRANDING!The green lows look like SB's lol
August 25th, 2010 at 12:13 pm

August 25th, 2010 at 12:20 pm

August 25th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
da 6's are nice the 2's straight and not really feeling da rest of them
August 25th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
It was rumored JB was gonna release a pair of black/white 2's this year. Looks like its not going to happen.
August 25th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Loving the II's! The X out looks tacky as shit.
August 25th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Those 2's NEED to drop. They will sell waaaay better than that candy pack IMO.
August 25th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
They need to drop them 6's immediately.
August 25th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
da oreos were crappy?….REALLY???
August 25th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
haha.
do u even have an idea as to why there would be an X over the jordan brand? its cause of when he first wore them and they werent allowed on the court. get ur knowledge up and maybe some of this would make sense to u.
besides that tho ur kinda right, some of the shoes they release are questionable, and seem like the only reason they released was to try and squeeze more money outta people and arent even good quality. but who on this site hasnt heard that or know it themself already? lol
August 25th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
i Dont See The Difference Between The Chrome 2s & These -.-
August 25th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
i like the accolades lol
August 25th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
maybe its just me, i wasnt a fan of the speckling on the midsole. Id much rather buy those than oreos
August 25th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
the 6s and 2s
August 25th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Those 6s Are Nice But Real Talk If They Had Released These Instead Of The Black Pistons And The Black Pistons Showed Up As Unreleased Samples People Would Be Askin Why Didn't They Release The Black Pistons And Thats Just Because People Are Never Satisfied.
August 25th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
6s deff need to drop soon
August 25th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
I'd prefer if they just release september blue or olympic 6's
August 25th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
cuz your blind
August 25th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
The accolades and jordan low phat's are crack!
August 25th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Crappy quality this and that,Boo Hoo.On the real,the Oreos are nowhere near terrible,1 of the better 6s to come out next the Motorsports and Infrared.
August 25th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Somebody get this baby a pacifier,why don't you appreciate the stuff that JB comes out with instead of complaining about quality and what not?Nowadays, people don't really wear Jordan's for basketball, but for casual wear.Maybe that's why the quality hasn't always been spot on.
August 25th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
10 years from now….everyone that didnt get the oreos is going to be kicking themselves….
August 25th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
i didnt say the quality was crappy. I just think the color blocking worked better on the carmines, and i wasnt feelin the oreos
August 25th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
possible. there will always be those types of people.
But I actually wanted them at first, but when i saw them in person i changed my mind. the patent leather threw me off. if they wouldve had just suede or nubuck wouldve got them
August 25th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
sike.
oreos are for kids bro.
that is one ugly shoe.
August 25th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Oreos are on the sale racks right now
August 25th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
LIKE THE BANNED IDEA. SHOULD HAVE WENT THAT WAY WITH THE PISTONS.
August 25th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Those piston samples wouldve been crappy too just the materisl on samples are always better
August 25th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
"Somebody get this baby a pacifier"…….. hahahahahaha just ask Vin Diesel………………….. RE$PECT ILLIONAIRE32………………………….
August 25th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
gotta love those 6's specially the pistons inspired cw, could have released those instead of the black/pistons cw instead, smh!
August 25th, 2010 at 11:25 pm

Shot-out to Marv and V over @ Succezz Chicago for these flicks.. Thought they deserved some credit.. Colorway on those 6s is crack but material is crap.. And them Windy City 2s are decent, shouldve just made the chromes..
August 26th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Aye, does anybody notice how the Jumpans look mad fake? 1 jumpan is doin' the splits and another looks obeast lol..
August 26th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

August 26th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
ALL this heat banned why? They ALL go in!!!!! Like ALL the colorways.
August 28th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
thats wut they are
August 31st, 2010 at 11:37 pm
well actually they only banned the colorway of the 1's not so much the logos but i still like them. no hate just poiting out things and those VI's are fire!!!! wish i had those as my options instead of the patent leather garbage.
September 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
The Oreos were awesome, just horrible ass quality on the materials.
September 2nd, 2010 at 1:04 pm
Stop talking, the quality is the only issues with the 6s. Even though the quality was ASS i still got a pair cuz they look nice!
September 2nd, 2010 at 1:06 pm
The 1s and the 6s!!!! OMFG!!! WHY???? Those 1s are the cleanest I've see so FAR, and the quality is A+++
September 5th, 2010 at 2:33 am
yup at a 129 price tag while the better looking carmine 6 is over $300 in deadstock
