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!

We see you, Joe. Cleveland Browns defensive extraordinaire has a pretty serious sneaker game and quite the neat and tidy arrangement of kicks, with the dominant forces being Air Jordans and LeBrons (the Cleveland connection), but he’s got plenty of other joints like the KD, Kobe, and Foamposite. The highlights have to be on his sneaker “throne”, which boasts a sick stash of Air Yeezys, South Beach LeBrons, Corks, and two of the most hard-to-get Air Jordan VIIs in the Bin 23 and Miro, but who knows what else he’s got in his closet? Think you got a sneaker collection that can rival that of Joe Haden? Better come correct because he’s ready to defend his own. Check out a full shot below and let us know what you think!

Are we seeing a changing of the tides over in Europe? We’ll make it very clear and say that our Euro sneakerhead compatriots were always well-versed on Jays and such, but these events have always been dominated by Trainers (or running shoes) with Jordans being a relative rarity compared the runners. This event recap at Sneakerness Zurich 2013 reveals a larger crop of Air Jordans than what we normally expect, with tables of rare Retros and a sick glass-protected display of incredible originals, like the trio of Ones and other attractive releases. Check out the recap of Sneakerness Zurich below to get a feel for this latest Euro event and head on over to eukicks for larger coverage.

Back in August, NBA superstar, Team USA leader, and Jordan Brand athlete Chris Paul showed off a bit of hardware after his fellow American ballers pulled out the Gold during the London Olympics. We’re not talking about the actual Gold Medal, but this sick PE of the Air Jordan VII dubbed the Air Jordan VII ‘Olympic Gold Medal’. It featured the OG Air Jordan colorway with a lustrous gold piping on the upper, giving these ’92 classics a 2012 appeal. A closer look at the detail reveals some horizontal bold-stripe accents on the forefoot and small stars sprinkled by the heel/ankle of the shoe – both of which are featured in these customs by Dank. A gallery awaits you below so take a look and place your bids on this size 10 from lilshk54321 on eBay.
