Sneaker News just revealed images described by a phrase that many sneakerheads have been eagerly awaiting for almost seventeen years: Air Jordan XI ‘Blackout’. That sample pair is generating quite a buzz, and there’s another recent black-uppered Air Jordan revelation with a black upper that’s also causing a stir in the community. Coming the wake of the ‘Knicks Pack’ Spiz’ikes and a couple of orange-and-blue-accented releases for this spring is another Air Jordan IV for 2012, a black nubuck design that’ll have you scratching your head when you realize these are basically only one color away from last fall’s wacky Doernbecher x AJ4. It looks like we won’t have to fear that these are a Spike Lee ‘PE’ this time around, so that leaves the question: when is the Air Jordan IV ‘Knicks’ release date? Stick with Sneaker News to find out, and check out a new set of images in the meantime. via Air-Randy

February 10th, 2012 at 4:06 pm

February 10th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
black laces set them off BUT still this will not be one for me but they are nice
February 10th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
not a fan of this specific color way BUT i do like how the kept the pull tap rubber and the wings plastic. im personally not a fan of the fabric versions of the wings and pull tab.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Im disappointed I thought the 25th anniversary Air Jordan IV would be the classic Black Cement.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
j-lin should wear these asap
February 10th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Does anyone think Jordan brand has been slacking on the suede like it attracts so much lint and prints? Anyone who that has had a pair of OG Bred 4's please reply.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
dug the concept first time i saw them. only with the black laces tho.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
i really hope there not on some super limited hoh only or nikestore only release i will be pissed.

February 10th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Would look dope in white. Just not enough white on these for me. The blacked out midsole kills it
February 10th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
FUCK AIR RANDY AND VMVINC!
February 10th, 2012 at 4:55 pm

February 10th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
My thourghts exactly.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
They actually look like suede not nubuck.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
It's the laces, there black instead of orange
February 10th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
over it…still can't help but feel like i'm looking at a GS…maybe if they did it like the spizikes and made the upper blue or orange.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
they come out on black friday fuck tard
February 10th, 2012 at 5:38 pm

February 10th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
The blue needs to be a bit darker to me
February 10th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
JB shouldda put this black nubuck on the upcoming raptor 7s instead of that light graphite shit
February 10th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
they need to add some white to these
February 10th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
I don't think these pictures do the shoes any favors. I think they look worse….
February 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Yeah its the laces & just better quality pics. Still an ugly shoe to me.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm

February 11th, 2012 at 9:56 am
And it will be the 23rd anniversary SMH
February 11th, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Def coppin these. When the Doernbecher released back during the holidays I thought it was just too much and wish they had toned it down just a little bit, now I get my wish. These are gonna look dope, and Im really glad that JB is trying something a little different. We all know the IV's look hella ill, so why not see what JB can do with that base and a some new colorways. It cant be any worse then what they did with some of the new VI colorways from back in 2010 right? lol
February 11th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
ultra pass no thanks these are ganna get linty then a beetch! real talk and that make em ugly then look at the net on the 1st pic it looks caved in….SMH no thanks pass
February 12th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
these are cold to me and Im coppin thats a sick colorway I can dress these up real nice or keep it simple
February 12th, 2012 at 5:40 pm
I agree. Originally I said they should release these in the old Cleavland Cavs colors just because of "The Shot" I was kinda joking but now that i see the orange and blue i really wish they went with the white instead of black and completed the Cavs cw Woulda looked better IMO
February 12th, 2012 at 8:17 pm
they look pretty clean although i do think they would look better with a white base i would consider copping these if the release date is'nt close to another shoe on my list and if i have some xtra cash i guess we'll see
April 10th, 2012 at 12:32 am
When do these come out
