The Air Jordan III “Fire Red” 2013 retro is another of the surprise Air Jordan III pairs we’ve got to look forward to this year. We say surprise because, let’s face it, nobody expected the coveted Air Jordan silhouette to be back so soon after the pretty thorough retro treatment that spilled out back in 2011. As you can see the pair is looking pretty on point, keeping intact some of the more minute details like the fire red hit under the tongue and the recently brought back hang tag. Continue reading for the full teaser and tell us if you approve of the “Fire Red” Air Jordan III for 2013 so far.

A$AP Rocky is the kind of guy who isn’t afraid to shout out sneakers in his lyrics. Most of the time though he’s talking about a pair of Jeremy Scott adidas or some high end stuff that costs a car payment. Ending up just a little bit more pedestrian, Rocky shows up here with the Air Jordan III on feet in the white/cement colorway. Right by his side Swizz Beatz holds up the high end, wearing some green paisley business from Givenchy. Get the full images of these New York hip-hop figures in their fancy footwear right after the jump.

It appears that the massive “XX8 Days of Flight” set of Air Jordans given away by Jordan Brand has finally begun to make its way into the hands of the winners. You’ll recall that entry involved snapping a pic of yourself on Instagram using #XX8DaysofFlight wearing the Air Jordan model corresponding to that day. The black and green sneakers have popped up across Instagram, as the lucky Air Jordan enthusiasts who received their pairs have been eager to show them off (and it looks like Jordan Brand unknowingly selected one user to receive two pairs). Now that the pairs are out there, it will be a test of will power to see who ends up keeping these one of a kind sneakers in their personal collection and who ends up taking the “other” route to cash out, although the 1-of-1 factor might be to tough to let go! Check out most of the Air Jordan “XX8 Days of Flight” pairs that have been doled out right after the jump and tell us in the comments which pair is your favorite.

The deep stories and events that shadow every Air Jordan in history is what made the Retro such a booming success, and as far back as 1994, Nike made sure that we were reminded of the message behind each design. Since the first Air Jordan Retros in 1994 during MJ’s first retirement to all OG and Retro colorways that hit stores in the late 90′s and 2000′s, a tw0-sided post-card detailing a brief history of the shoe as well as an iconic flashback image of the times came included with the shoes; these cards have been referred to as Retro Cards, and while some may have not given them much though, some sneaker collectors did their best to gather them all. With the Air Jordan Retro Card making a surprising come-back with the upcoming Air Jordan VIII Retros and the possibility of more Retro Cards with future Retro releases, it’s about time we took a look back at every single Retro Card that Nike ever put out – from the first ones in 1994, to the latest ones that came accompanied with a Doernbecher release. Enjoy this throwback piece below and let us know which you’re missing from your set!

Now that the dust and immense hype has settled just a bit, do we think that the Nike Air Yeezy 1 or 2 will have a more lasting impact on the sneaker scene? The first set certainly made a bigger statement in terms of the colorways used, a group that that was pretty closely replicated for the second go-round. Those colors have of course been the focus of plenty of custom pieces since their release, with the latest being the crisp Air Jordan III “Threezy Pack” from DeJesus. As you can see, the trio dedicates one pair to each of the original Nike Air Yeezy colorways. See them all after the jump and tell us in the comments which is your favorite.
