To start off this week, we’re giving you some information regarding Air Jordan Retro Spring 2014 Releases. With 2014 being the 23rd Anniversary of the Air Jordan VI, we can certainly expect a slew of the originals to arrive, and the first up to bat appears to be the OG White/Infrared colorway for February of 2014. It last released in 2010 as part of the Infrared Pack, but this 2014 release looks to be a solo release. Also dropping in Spring 2014 is the Air Jordan X in White/Dark Powder Blue-Black; this was an original colorway from 1995, and barring any changes (maybe a checker-print inner lining rather than solid Blue like with the OG), it looks like another true Retro is on the way. We’ll have more information for you as it develops, but stay tuned to Sneaker News for more and let us know if you’re excited about these Spring 2014 Air Jordan releases.

Jordan Brand’s reach in the MLB continues to get recognized as we get a look at some sick Air Jordan XII PE Cleats made for Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price (noted by the DP14 PE markings on the heel). Once Price showed the world his cleats, he got the attention of perhaps the most well-known sneakerhead in big league baseball – fellow pitcher Jeremy Guthrie (who has a ton of sick PEs in a sneaker vault inside his house). The Air Jordan XII has been a popular one in baseball, so when will see other Retro models? Check out the full shot below and let us know what you think.

The Nike LeBron X EXT “Denim” will release on June 22 and will retail for $180. This may come as a surprise (a pleasant one) considering that the assumed retail price would be near Cork numbers as the Denims are indeed built with lux materials like fine denim and brown leather, but according to Foot Locker, the retail price will be $180, which is indeed the base price of the LeBron X model. This certainly makes the shoes much more appealing, doesn’t it? Let us know what your plans are now that it’s been confirmed the Denims will be $180, and see what’s available now on eBay.
