We revealed Niketown’s exhibition of the White/Red Air Jordan Collection with the White/Red Air Jordan 1 to 8. We’re sure images of such designs are causing quite a stir already. It’ll be interesting to see where the comments lead. To cause more of a stir, here’s a second intallment featuring AJ’s IX through XVI. Enjoy.
If you saw these on some dude’s feet rather than on display, your first instinct would probably be to burst into laughter at how fake they are. After all, these weren’t even a real colorway! But this Jordan set is certainly not going to be ridiculed. For our viewing pleasure, the entire Air Jordan collection is on exhibition in a special unified color scheme, following the concept of the hyped white/white collection seen after the launch of Jumpman23’s History of Flight featurette. The entire upper take on white, while the linings and soles have red, all topped off with black laces. Some of the Jay’s seen may resemble pre-existing colorways, but get it straight- none of these have ever been seen before in a pallette layout as this. To make them even more unique, all the inner linings feature a lux (and quite comfy looking) quilting stitching. Enjoy the shots, the rest of the Jordan collection to come soon!
The most common thing to see in recent years is ‘packs’ of similar sneakers released all at once. Take for example, the twenty Reebok Pumps dropping this weekend in celebration of their two decades in the inflatable cushioning game. Jordan Brand, on the other hand, tends to show us several variations on a similar theme, then stagger the releases over a quarter or so. Enter the Air Jordan 1 High Strap in black with orion blue accents. The metallic gold aglets remind you that this is the same colourblocking on the voltage yellow joints from last month. Complete the set and cop these today. Available from Shaolin8 on eBay.
Over the past few weeks Sneakernews has presented quite a few look-see’s of the new Jordan Motorsports collection- one of which taking the form of an Air Jordan 6 . We’ve read the comments and recognize where people stand; many love it for its refreshing new look, while others may hate for for taking away from the purity of original AJ6 design. Some have even joked about only copping if the new superbike came with it to match.
Despite seeing a pair or two available for sale, most wouldn’t bother to fathom dropping a few G’s to own this Motor team-exclusive pair. But for a true collector, any Jordan Motorsports would be a defiant pair to have- most likely never showing up in anyone else’s stocklist. Good looks to OSneaker for granting a pair to shoot. If you’re one of those who just can’t stop looking at these, make it your new desktop thanks to our new Sneaker Wallpapers section.
Washington D.C. native, Wale, was in attendance at the GQ Men of the Year party in Los Angeles this past Wednesday along with a number of other celebrities including Kobe Bryant, Drake, and more. Wale, Drake, and Kid Cudi were also featured in this year’s GQ Men of the Year issue. For this special occasion, Wale broke out his Air Jordan VI Retro+’s in the Olympic colorway that were released back in 2000, and matched it with his Washington Nationals’ New Era 59FIFTY fitted cap.
Temperatures are dropping and soon we’ll be knee-deep in… snow. We’ve given quite a few selections to choose from, one of which was this Euro Exclusive Winterized Spiz’ike. A top-choice colorway, these got a good response also due to the splatter effect on the heel, distinct to these from the other Spiz’ikes boots. They sold out pretty fast at select retailers as well as the UK Nikestore, but now you have a chance to get a pair of these originally region-specific releases from ID4shoes on eBay.
Released the year after MJ’s third and final retirement, the Air Jordan XIX is probably best remembered at this point as being paired with the bred AJIVs in 2008’s 4/19 Countdown Pack. This sample gives us a glimpse into what could have been a well-received release, had Michael and the Wizards succeeded in their last-ditch push toward the 2003 NBA Playoffs.
These would have been perfect for home games at the MCI Center, but instead, Mike called it quits, met a beautiful Cuban girl and got inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Association goes on without him, but we suspect LeBron is changing his number for the same reasons you’ll check out more photos after the jump. via Kenlu

The Air Jordan Spiz’ike will make it’s return to retail shelves next year and one of the most talked about colorways is this Black and Cement Grey colorway. We’ve shown you various images of this colorway of the Spiz’ike but none as detailed as the ones we have now. While the shoes boast one of the best colorways yet of the Air Jordan Spiz’ike the lining of the shoe should not go untoiced as it features various Air Jordan inspired graphics and wording. Look for these to be available in the upcoming months of the Spring 2010 season. The are however available now in select sizes at MarqueeSole.
