Eminem has had a long-standing relationship with Nike and Jordan Brand, resulting in some sick super-limited releases that are some of the most sought-after sneakers of our generation. Eminem’s got a thing for wearing Air Max shoes, as those are his sneaker of choice when he performs live; some of the Eminem x Nike Air Max collaborations we’ve seen included the Air Max 1, Air Max 97, and Air Max 360, although we’ve spotted him in the Air Max LTD/Wright quite often as well. Some of his Air Jordan collaborations are prized as well, like the Air Jordan IV and Air Jordan II, which fetch quite a the pretty penny in the sneaker resale market. Check out some of the Eminem x Nike/Air Jordan kicks below and be sure check out the entire video as well.

A Bathing Ape and Gourmet’s done it before – tweaking classic Air Jordan models and creating new sneakers using the original silhouettes as the base. You can see the glass as half-empty and call it blatant plagiarism, or see it in a more optimistic light and consider it an homage to the Air Jordan line. The Pivot by diffeducation collection of MJ Boots will definitely raise a few eyebrows, but you have to admit – the shoes are kinda cool. You might remember the first time we showed you the Pivot by diffeducation MJ 1.5 Boot, which utilized the Air Jordan 1 upper with a hiking-boot outsole; the MJ 2.5 Boot utilizes a different style of boot outsole, using the Air Jordan II and Air Jordan II Low for the ’2.5′. Check out both the Mid and Low after the jump and let us know what you think of these funky boots, and check out Flauge for overseas pre-orders.

Ever caught (or bought) a baseball at a game and tried to get your favorite superstar to sign it, only to find that it’s far easier to get access to the guys who aren’t actually playing? That’s kinda like what happened here, so fitting that the shoe in question was one of Michael Jordan’s signatures: the Air Jordan II in a Gerald Wallace player exclusive colorway. These were crafted for GW3 before he was shipped out of Charlotte, and apparently he left them behind to former teammate Eduardo Najera. Now here’s where it gets goofy: Najera signed the game-worn PE, his own number Sharpied right alongside the ‘#3′ PE markings, and sold them for, get this, a mere $25 bucks during an event this past summer. Seems like a steal, even if it is a shoe signed by a guy who never wore them; would you have laid out the cash to grab them? via Complex

Recall the first time we showed you the Air Jordan 2.0, and it’s likely that you stared at your computer screen with a quizzical look. A 360 Max-Air cushioned Air Jordan hybrid shoe took some getting used to, but a look at this upcoming Black/Red/Green colorway should have you completely sold. Not only is the colorway fiercely on point (a Rasta-like combination reminiscent of the OG colorway of the Spiz’ike), the materials used on this colorway are more than impressive, as the nubuck upper is paired with a faux-croc skin section with distressed leather on the toe mudguard. The question is, how would this colorway, along with the materials, look on an Air Jordan II Retro? Check out these new detailed images after the jump and let us know what you think. via kickslab.

Yet more Air Jordan 2.0 goodness this week as today we have our best look yet at the colorway revealed here on Sneaker News earlier this week. The AJ 2.0 demands attention in this black nubuck and textured leather getup, the red, green and white accents evoking images of the initial Air Jordan Spiz’ike colorway that hit retailers in early ’07. The AJII could be considered the first ‘bookend’ to the Spizike’s design elements, so it’s almost poetic to see this palette reproduced on an upgraded version. Click through to see some additional angles and if you’d like to grab a pair before they hit retail, consider contacting MarqueeSole.

It’s been quite a week for the Air Jordan 2.0 as the initial colorway was spotted on eBay in advance of next week’s official release date and a new edition was revealed in mens and kids sizes. Furthering the Max Air-cushioned momentum is this new kids-first preview of another Air Jordan 2.0 release we’ll see later this year, this pair offering a twist on the glut of grey sneakers we’ve seen in recent months thanks to the golden accents on the tongue and full-length Air bubble. Click through to see a series of additional angles and check with Air-Randy for an early stock of this kids Air Jordan 2.0 in US sizes 4-7.

Just yesterday, Sneaker News gave you a viewing of the first Air Jordan 2.0 in grade school sizes, and today we have word that this bold new colorway will also release in men’s. This AJ2.0 has a bit of a festive feel thanks to a colorway that’s somewhere in between bred, Cinco de Mayo and Christmas, but you might also call to mind images of the Black History Month Air Force 1s from 2009 and ’10. Interestingly enough, they’re not timed to meet up with any of these so we’ll just appreciate the palette for what it is, and you can see more images when you click on the jump below. Let us know what you think and if you want to get yours early hit up eBay regular Air-Randy, who’s selling US mens sizes 8-12 through Facebook.

We just showed you some new images of the initial Air Jordan 2.0 colorway, and though this Saturday, May 28th release is the only one we’ve seen so far in previews, it’s certainly not the only release you’ll see. Case in point: this new Air Jordan 2.0 GS. They’re more on the ‘grade school’ side of things than a girls/ladies release thanks to a palette that would have been well suited for the beginning of this month as a Cinco de Mayo themed drop. But as it stands, this vaguely Christmas-y look is an upcoming release, and you can see more when you click on the jump below. Let us know what you think and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for new developments including the US release date. via Air-Randy
