White/Red has always looked great on an Air Jordan sneaker, but are we look at the best of the bunch? The simple color-blocking of the History of Flight Collection is made up of a basic White upper with a red interior lining and outsole, and just taking a first look at the Air Jordan II of this set proves that the colorway matches perfectly with the Air Jordan II, which has thrived on these types of easygoing compositions. It’s similar to the two original colorways for sure, making the Air Jordan II ‘History Of Flight’ the most ‘natural’ of the entire bunch. If you disagree with our assessment, let us know which ‘History Of Flight’ edition you like best, and be sure to peep the entire gallery below before checking out the auction from thecoolshoeshine on eBay.

Spike Lee’s made quite the impression on the sneaker game, hasn’t he? While his tenure as an Air Jordan spokesperson was short-lived in comparison to the entire span of the Air Jordan, he made his mark in (arguably) the best stretch of releases – the Air Jordan III-VI – while making a comeback with the Air Jordan XX. The Son Of Mars is a tribute of sorts, encapsulating those five models in a finely-tuned hybrid model, and it finally arrives in a classic Bulls colorway after initially releasing in ‘Pop Art‘ and ‘Club Purple‘, Best Son Of Mars colorway yet? Find out on June 2nd, when these are scheduled for a release, but flip through Jordan Brand’s official images below for a closer look.

Joining the original Black/Red colorway of the Air Jordan 1 KO is this ‘new’ colorway that borrows the popular ‘black-toe’ colorway of the Air Jordan 1. Believe it or not, this colorway isn’t a KO original, but it sure seems that way and consumers will likely be drawn to this release simply for that reason. On June 2nd, two colorways of the Air Jordan 1 KO will release, so the dilemma of ‘this or that’ will certainly rise up once you spot these side by side at Jordan retailers. Which will it be – the original Black/Varsity red, or this fresh new take on the Chicago Bulls? Check out official Jordan Brand images below and let us know if you’ve come to a decision.

Earlier this week we hit you with a release date for this original Air Jordan from 1985, but it’s time to take a closer look at each individual pair. The 2010 releases of the AJKO were the surprise hits of that year, but we imagine these won’t exactly sneak up on people because the AJKO and the Air Jordan 1 in general has been an intensely popular pick – and what better than this original ‘Banned’ colorway? These are destined for stores this June 2nd at select Jordan Brand retailers, so take another look below because you’ve never seen this version in this condition (remember those originals we showed you last weekend?).

Three of the Final Four of the 2012 NBA Playoffs are now set; the Miami Heat took down the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 last night, winning three straight after falling behind with a 2-1 Series deficit. The young Philadelphia 76ers were given a boost of motivation when Allen Iverson was in town to watch the game, so that Series will go to a Game 7 as it shifts to Boston. The Western Conference Finals have already been set in place, as the Spurs and Thunder completed their advancements earlier this week. This Saturday, the Semi-Final round will officially end the the Western Conference Finals will begin on Sunday, so be sure to check back with us for another NBA Feet Recap on Monday! Photos: espn

Earlier today we showed you what is undoubtedly the best Fly Wade 2 EV (or perhaps Fly Wade period) colorway ever. The Metallic Gold Coin matte finish worked wonders with the seamless appeal of the Fly Wade 2 EV, and the sneaker model itself, which hasn’t garnered the attention as much as, say, a LeBron or KD, received a ton of praise for the selection of color. There’s another Fly Wade 2 EV goodie for June – this Club Purple/Spark colorway that captures that original ‘Raptors’ crest using the two-toned colorway with Black and White hits around the shoe. Certainly a punchier, neon effect achieved with these, but are these better than the Fly Wade 2 ‘Gold Coin’? Check out additional angles below and let us know what you think.

Chris Paul finished off one of his most successful seasons of his NBA career while riding the Jordan CP3.V. What moves will he make next year in the Jordan CP3.VI? For now, he’ll be in a Clipper uniform for at least one more season, so let’s take a look at three new colorways of Chris Paul’s sixth signature sneaker that we first showed you yesterday; a Gold/Black/Purple alongside a University Blue/Yellow and the Black/Red/White is what’s brought to us today, and clearly the energetic colorways outweigh the team-based versions by a 5-to-1 margin. What other surprises will Jordan Brand have in store for us to follow this year’s surprising releases like the Jekyll & Hyde Pack? Check out individual shots of all three upcoming releases below and let us know what you think. Photos: us11

If one of Jordan Brand’s signature athletes deserves the special ‘Year Of The Dragon’ distinction, it is, without question, Chris Paul, the All-Star elite point guard that was just named to the 2012 All-NBA First Team and 2012 All-NBA Defensive First Team. Those are truly Jordan-like recognitions right there, which makes the Jordan CP3.V ‘Year Of The Dragon’ truly a special shoe as Chris Paul embodies the powerful and honorable characteristics of the most daunting beast of the Chinese Zodiac. Featuring a similar color package as the Air Jordan 2012 ‘Year Of The Dragon, this upcoming CP3.V joins the Jekyll & Hyde Pack as the most energetic CP3.V releases of the year and should be one of the more desirable Jordan Brand releases of the month. Circle your calendars for June 7th, as these will hit select Jordan Brand retailers on that date.
