The Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament moves on, as we get a look at the four advancing seeds in the Southeast Region. This might be the strongest bracket of the entire tournament, as the Air Jordan IV ‘Bred’, Air Jordan III ‘White/Cement’, Air Jordan VI ‘Carmine’, and Air Jordan XI ‘Columbia’ would all be worthy representatives of this bracket in the Final Four, but it’s up to you to decide who stays and who goes! The polls for the Southeast Region in the Sweet 16 round of play is now open, but remember to check back at the West and East Regions as well if you haven’t voted yet. Which OG Air Jordan is the best of all time? We’re taking it one step at a time so get your votes in by Midnight this Sunday.

The field of 32 has been chopped in half, as we begin the Sweet 16 Voting for the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament. We’ve got some big-time match-ups in the West Region; the #1 overall seed Air Jordan III Black/Cement will go toe-to-toe with the recently re-released Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ in a battle that should go down to the wire, while #2 seed Air Jordan IV White/Cement takes on the #3 seed and hottest Air Jordan topic today – the Air Jordan VII Bordeaux. These match-ups are truly up to date as there is no clear-cut winner, but it’s up to you to vote for your favorite shoe to advance to the Elite Eight. The polls are open now, and you have until Sunday, March 27th at midnight, so be sure to get your votes in before it’s too late!

We’re sure that there were many of you out there who didn’t agree with some of our seedings in our Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament – and that’s fair enough being that this is all somewhat subjective. But we did take some time to really weigh things out in terms of determining power rankings, and from the looks at our first round results, it appears we were pretty close to the mark across the board according to your voting. Every Round 1 favorite advanced with the one exception being the 5-seed Air Jordan VI White/Infrared taking out the 4th-seeded Military Blue AJ IV. While Round 1 may not have provided many upsets, there were plenty of hard fought battles, and it’s only gonna get tougher from here on in. With almost all the lower seeds wiped out, every match-up should provide fairly evenly-matched competitors going to head to head with a trip to the Elite 8 on the line. Keep reading to check out the full Round 1 results, and check out Sneaker News HD for a better look at the updated bracket layout. Voting for the Sweet 16 round will kick off tomorrow night, so be sure to check back to get your votes in.

Here’s a look at the final bracket of Round 1 of the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament. Headlined by Number 1 seed Air Jordan IV in the Black/Red colorway, the Southeast Region of the OG Air Jordan Tournament is no slouch when it comes to going head-to-head with any other region. Just how strong is it? The Air Jordan VI ‘Carmine’ is a 3-seed, and that shoe has as much potential to win it all as any other sneaker in the tourney. The polls for the Southeast Region are now open, as are the rest of the regions for Round 1, so make sure you get your votes tallied in time. Remember, it’s you, the reader that selects the winner, so let your voice be heard (you’ve got ’til midnight Sunday)!

Round 1 of the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament continues as we get a look at the next batch of eight teams in this massive 32-shoe fight to the finish. The Southwest bracket is truly unique as the Number 1 Overall seed is an Air Jordan colorway that Michael never wore in a game! The Air Jordan V Grape is without a doubt one of the greatest of all-time, but will it be enough to take down a surprisingly strong Number 8 seed in the Air Jordan XII ‘Playoff’? Remember, all you need to do is vote for your favorite Air Jordan colorway in each match-up, because the champion of the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament is determined by YOU. The polls for the Southwest Region are now open, so get your votes in and be sure to check out the West and East Region below if you haven’t already done so. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow night for the Southeast region voting, with all four Round 1 polls running all through the weekend.

Last night, we opened up the polls for the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament, focusing on seeds 1 through 8 of the West bracket. Tonight, the tournament continues forward, as we move across the coast to the East region, highlighted by the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ as the Number 1 overall seed. This year’s tournament not only focuses on the importance of the Air Jordan model, but the significance of each original colorway within the Air Jordan Legacy. Some of MJ’s greatest moments have come in these shoes, and some were never even worn by Michael in a game, but each and every selection in the tournament is a certified classic, worthy of its spot in the field and capable of making a run in our March Madness royal rumble. The polls are now open for the East region, so be sure to vote for your favorite kicks, and check back on the West region if you haven’t voted already, because all polls in Round 1 will remain open until midnight this Sunday.
