Air Jordan 1 x Nike SB to Release in 2012

That basketball-born models like the Blazer, Bruin and Dunk are still going strong after decades of research and development for skateboarding-specific sneakers, is a testament not only to their durability and practical application for skating, but also echoes the cultural overlap between the two sports that’s become so pronounced in recent years. So with Jordan Brand expanding its offerings in a variety of ways and Nike SB reorganizing to incorporate other divisions’ standout designs, it’s only natural to see these two heavy hitters come together for what very well could be one of the biggest pieces of Sneaker News for 2012. It looks like the Air Jordan 1 x Nike SB is a go, despite having missed the 2011 projected release as reported here just over one year prior, but that’s probably all for the best seeing as how early 11′s focus centered around the redesigned Dunk Pro SB. And speaking of timing, the above pictured Todd Bratrud-designed Made for Skate deck that he also crafted early last year along with MFS Blazers and Hobie 210s seems like a bit of foreshadowing now, doesn’t it? Let us know what you think about an Air Jordan 1 x Nike SB collaboration and stick with Sneaker News for photos and the eventual release date. via N-SB
I read about this last year.
i'm just wondering why they still havent release and pics yet. how long is this going to take?
thinking to much but im thinking a regular jordan 1 with sb sole and insert and sb on the tongue woo excited
To me this is stupid if ur crossing all elements of sneaker platforms u lose originality and obviously jordan has been slipping and nike sb aint lukewarm at all should be a ugly grimmacing collab sighs.....wtf nike stop butchering cult classics this makes my stomach hurt next up sb spizikes
does this mean SB quality? no complaints here im readyy
blasphemy...but whatever. just give me a damn retro colorway that doesn't pop up outta nowhere in outlets and i'll be happy. i think its about time.
I'm down with the idea as long as they don't change the design!!!
ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY!!!!
I'm hoping for the best but I can feel a major fail coming on. I hope they just keep it nice and simple.
your dont know sneakers did you ever here of jpack sbs they
cool
Should Be Interesting..
i was just thinking what heat is coming out for 2012 for SB nd her one of them.
DUN DUN DUN!
dope
nooooo wayyyyyy this is sickkk jb is thinkin like a sneakerhead now i liiike
:o
why does Jordan keep on making fucked up one's?
i like it but do wanna see some more pictures before i judge
literally read my mind, thought about this a couple of weeks ago
this has been around for over a year...dont feel special
very excited...hope they are too crazy padded....
Not a bad idea.
dope
just unnecessary. AJ1 looks good as it is!
no it doesnt
yea thays why its the most famous shoe of all times
Oh yea Bring'em on
i thought this concept ended up being the space jam dunks, guess not, i still hope it's a jordan-inspired sb platform, not a sb-tuned jordan
^ what he said.. but im betting theyre gonna be Hi Tops with the Jordan 1 colorway -___-
