Is it possible that Michael Jordan’s sixth shoe will be back soon enough via this Air Jordan VI “Red Suede”? The sneaker is one with plenty of relatives in the Jordan Brand lineup, from the Air Jordan V “Raging Bull” of old to the upcoming Air Jordan IV release dipped in a similar red look. Will this Air Jordan VI end up as anticipated as the aforementioned pairs in the event of a retail release, or is its take on the classic black/infrared a little bit too foreign to work? Give us your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for more on the mysterious Air Jordan VI “Red Suede” sample.

Unreleased Air Jordan Samples Through The Years

John K. — Thu, 09 May 2013 01:00:48 +0000

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.

So the recent news of the Air Jordan #XX8DaysofFlight collection arriving at the hands of the lucky winners as well as one pair going up for sale on eBay has been a trendy topic, but the “Black/Neon” Collection wasn’t the first themed set of Jays we’ve seen. In fact, 2012 was all about the White/Red, Pantone, Rainbow, Blackout, and more, and most have at one point or another gone up for sale on eBay. The value of these aren’t exactly set in stone, but with these pairs never releasing to the public, the demand for these elusive Retros is definitely there. One seller has several up for grabs now, so see what’s available below and check out the listings from soleland on eBay.

Air Jordan VI “Carnivore” Customs by Ramses

Brendan Dunne — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 02:00:41 +0000

The Nike Air Carnivore‘s most recent retro was sort of a sleeper hit, as folks were slow to pick up pairs at retail and they quickly turned into an outlet mainstay. Honoring that design, and also timed to coincide with the release of the Jurassic Park 3D remake for the dinosaur connection, is this Air Jordan VI “Carnivore” custom. The pair puts on a clean mixture of black, white, and teal and throws on the print from the Nike Air Carnivore for the midsole sectioning. Take a better look at the Air Jordan VI “Carnivore” from Ramses after the jump and tell us in the comments if you like what you see.

Air Jordan #XX8DaysOfFlight Winners

John K. — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:00:08 +0000

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.

Nate Robinson’s Air Jordan Customs by Mache

John K. — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:32:08 +0000

Nate Robinson‘s shoe game for the 2012-2013 NBA Season might be enough to garner him some MVP votes for #NBAFeet 2013, but only if he brought in these customs by Mache into the mix sooner, he might be the favorite to win. Mache Customs’ latest NBA client is none other than Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson, who has provided a serious spark for the Chi-Town Bulls in place of the injured Derrick Rose, and as the Bulls approach the Playoffs without their star guard, Nate Robinson will rotate these remixed Bulls colorways on the Air Jordan VI, XIII, and XI. We have individual shots of each below so check them out and let us know which of the four you like best!

History of Air Jordan Retro Cards

John K. — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:00:00 +0000

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!
