Are you a fan of the bluish hue that’s been showing up on the Air Jordan V retros ever since 2011? If you’re in search of something just a bit darker then Cali Kid Drew has got you covered. This custom version of the sneaker goes for a smoky look on the bottom, with the upper donning an Air Jordan VI-inspired look. That look would be the black/infrared combination, although we’d have to imagine it would be better served with a bit of a brighter red. Get a better look at the Air Jordan V “Infrared/Smoke Bottom” pair after the jump and tell us whether or not Cali Kid Drew nailed it.

Sure JR Smith’s shot was pretty off for last night’s Knicks game, but at the very least his sneaker game was on point. Smith went ahead and borrowed an Air Jordan V player exclusive from teammate Quentin Richardson, a dude who isn’t exactly getting the minutes these days to put them to use. As has been the custom for JR as of late, he switched them out at half time for a more performance oriented wear in the form of the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 Low. Continue reading for some shots of JR Smith in these slick Knicks-colored Air Jordan Vs and give us your thoughts on his retro wear in the comments below.

The Air Jordan V “Black Grape” will now release on June 15th. The sneaker’s coming out party has been pushed back just a little bit, perhaps to let the top of the month breathe a little bit more what with the two Air Jordan 1 ’93 styles arriving on the same day. So far the most coveted of retros from 2013 have been OG flavored ones, but we’ve got a feeling the Air Jordan V “Black Grape” will finally shake things up a bit and have folks trying to track down this flip on a classic JB colorway. Continue reading to see more on the Air Jordan V “Black Grape”, releasing on June 15th, and grab an early pair now from sneaker.money.movement on eBay.

Remember when Kendrick Lamar said he used to want to be like Michael Jordan? It looks like K Dot still harbors some of those feelings, as the much buzzed-about West Coast rapper has been keeping up with the retro releases-evidenced by his Air Jordan V wear here. Then again, Michael Jordan couldn’t be seen wearing the Air Jordan V “Grape” too often, so maybe this particular colorway doesn’t apply. Continue reading to see all the photos of Kendrick Lamar wearing the “Grape” Air Jordan V right after the jump.

The Air Jordan V started out this year on OG terms, but it there’s a possibility that it will end it on quite the opposite with the likes of the Air Jordan V “Melo”. Of course there’s no retail confirmation just yet, so don’t get your hopes too incredibly high. The pair goes orange on the upper and ends up quite a bit bluer on the bottom as far as the icy soles are concerned. Get the best look yet at the exciting “Melo” Air Jordan 5 pair below and make sure to check back in with Sneaker News to find out the deal as soon as the info is out there.

Over the years we’ve seen some amazing (and questionable) colorways of Air Jordans and Air Jordan Retros surface on the web. In fact, there might be as many unreleased mock-ups as there are produced versions, but who knows what’s really stowed in the deep dark vaults inside the Jordan Brand headquarters and overseas factories? We’ve compiled a fairly thorough gallery of some notable Air Jordan sample colorways that have never seen the light of day at retail; some of these already have noted legends behind them, like the Air Jordan VI “Infrared” Retro with the flipped midsole and the Air Jordan V “Gold” that may or may not have been made for an employee, but some of the stuff we’ve come across cause us to question why the shoes were never released, or why they were created in the first place! Of course, this gallery isn’t a complete list of every unreleased sample, but take a moment to skim through the gallery below and let us know which unreleased Air Jordan sample catches your eyes the most.

These are a definite highlight of the massive back-to-school shopping season, so let us know if these are a must-have for you after you flip through the gallery below. Thanks to Joe Venuto for the photos.
