The Air Jordan XX8 is coming back in May 2013, and will be wearing some colors that you’ll recognize from Russell Westbrook’s rotation. The Air Jordan XX8 “White Perf” shown here is one we’ve seen on feet quite a few times for the Oklahoma City player. The construction has a bit more of a lifestyle feel to it-the shroud appears to be white leather with suede on the inside. There’s no word yet on the exact reasoning behind the circular perforations dotting the upper, but we’d be surprised if they had performance purpose rather than an aesthetic one. Continue reading to see the official images on the Air Jordan XX8 “White Perf”, releasing May 11th, and tell us in the comments if you like what you see.







It looks like the Air Jordan XX8 will indeed have some pairs releasing in the month of April. One of them is the Air Jordan XX8 “Carbon Fiber”, a pair that Jordan Brand had promised a couple weeks back that never actually materialized. The other is the Air Jordan XX8 “Oak Hill Academy”, one that was originally billed as a player exclusive. Select Foot Locker locations will have both pairs in stock this Saturday, April 27th. The only catch is that they’re a ticketed item, meaning you’ve gotta swing by your spot starting this Wednesday, April 24th to grab a raffle ticket for the chance to purpose. Stay with us for another look at both of these upcoming Air Jordan XX8 drops and hit up Foot Locker for the full info.

Nike Lunar Force 1 Fuse NRG


Nike Lunar Force 1 Fuse NRG


A couple of days ago we finally got a collective look at the Nike Lunar Force 1 Fuse QS “Easter Hunt” collection, and here we’re seeing detailed images of one pair in particular. The sneaker’s hyperfuse and leather upper is dressed in white, while a matching white Nike Lunar sole anchors the look. Completing the look is a translucent rubber sole. While the other versions in the series are limited to 100 pairs, this pair will be receiving a wider release once it lands at dealers.




Following up on the ‘Area 72′ edition for NBA All-Star 2013 comes another black-based Nike Lunar Force 1 Fuse that goes in a completely different direction. These still have a bit of that interstellar vibe thanks to the white speckling on the LunarLon midsole, but that’s more of a reflection of the high-contrast colorway and its various means of mixing than an overt theme application. This Lunar Force 1 Fuse Quickstrike features nubuck welded to Hyperfuse on the upper, so have a closer look below to see how past and present combine on this new release, then grab yours at Nike Sportswear stockists like Hanon.

Air Jordan 14 (XIV)“Last Shot”


AIR JORDAN 14

The Air Jordan 14 was released in 1998-99, but one famous pair got on Jordan’s feet just in time before his retirement (Part 2)
On January 13, 1999 Jordan announced his retirement from the NBA for the second and what was supposed to be the final time. The NBA players union started a lockout on June 30, 1998 just a few weeks after Jordan won his sixth championship. Many speculate that the strike was too much for Michael to handle as he was one who just wanted to play basketball and not politics.
Jordan left the NBA in no better style imaginable. Jordan pours in 45 points as the Bulls earn their second three-peat with an 87-86 Game 6 win over the Jazz. In the last 40 seconds, with the Bulls down four, Jordan: 1) drives for a layup to cut the margin to one; 2) strips Karl Malone on an entry pass; 3) fakes Bryon Russell to his knees and then drains the game-winning jumper with 5.2 seconds left.
And let us not forget that Jordan did all of this while wearing the Air Jordan 14′s. The Air Jordan 14′s were designed by Tinker Hatfield and took inspiration from Jordan’s Ferrari 550M.The Air Jordan 14 was the first Jordan shoe to come standard with metal tips as well as built in trivia. Each shoe (left and right) had 7 jumpmen making a total of 14. The back of the Air Jordan 14′s also displayed for all to see in Roman numerals that this was indeed the 14th shoe in the Jordan lineup.The Black/Red Jordan 14′s earned the nickname “Last Shots” because of the epic and legendary event that took place while on Jordan’s feet. These were the most sought after colorway as an original as well as a retro.The Retro Jordan 14 came out at the end of 2005. The shoes are to be released in a gazillion colorways just like the original Air Jordan 14′s. The original Air Jordan 14s were released in 8 colorways which would have set you back a total of $1,155 (5 mids $150 + 3 lows $135). The retro Jordan 14′s are to be released in at least 10 pairs at $150 a piece putting a $1,500 dent on your credit card if you love Jordan shoes like most collectors.
Though the Jordan 14 released in 2005 and 2006, they are going to be returning in 2008. Check out the Air Jordan Release Dates page for details. More info on Air Jordan 14Air Jordan XIV

Air Jordan 13(XIII) Retro “Flint”


AIR JORDAN XIII

http://www.cradleshoestrade.com/productlist.asp?id=n1339
For the 1997-1998 season, designer Tinker Hatfield — inspired by Michael's cat-like play — drew up the AJ XIII. (He didn't realize Michael's friends had already nicknamed him "The Black Cat.")

The hologram on the upper resembled the eye of a panther and the outsole had a paw-like design. The XIII featured heel and forefoot Zoom Air, a Phylon midsole and podular tooling, making it one of the most comfortable Air Jordans in the series. A carbon fiber midfoot shank and asymmetrical collar were also featured on the XIII.

The Air Jordan XIII was originally released in five mid colorways and two low colors. Jordan wore the AJ XIII throughout the 1997-1998 season and into the playoffs (until he introduced the AJ XIV in the 1998 NBA Finals against the Jazz). Michael wore the white-based colorways of the XIII at home and the black-based versions on the road throughout the season.
Spread of Fakes
The Air Jordan 13 was the first Jordan shoe to be made in China rather than Taiwan and was copied to no end. There was a large number of fake Jordan 13′s that hit the streets in every ugly color combination imaginable.
More Retros
The Retro Jordan 13′s were welcomed and sold quite well. Jordan released only 2 colorways before Christmas including the ever so famous Black/Red Jordan 13 December 22nd. In 2005, Jordan released 10 more colorways which many saw as ridiculous. Low cuts were never a fan of Jordan collectors, and Jordan released 6 colorways in the low cut.

Air Jordan 12 (XII)Retro “Playoffs”


AIR JORDAN XII

Tinker Hatfield and Michael Jordan collaborated to create the durable, stylish Air Jordan XII as a follow-up to the XI.

Inspired by a women's fashion shoe and the Japanese flag, the Air Jordan XII was clean and simple. The rich leather upper was stitched to resemble a rising sun, while the toe and accent overlays were made of faux reptile leather. The XII featured the slogan "TWO 3" down the tongue, metal lace loops with Jumpman logos and a pull tab that ran up the entire heel that read, "QUALITY INSPIRED BY THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER."


Many Air Jordan heads were happy to hear the news that the Air Jordan 12 was going to be retroed; however, many collectors started to get irritated as more and more kept getting released. The original Jordan 12′s were released in only 5 colorways, but there were 10 colorways retroed when counting the women’s colorways.
On November 28, 2003, Jordan released the first of its kind – an online exclusive shoe that was sold in a package. The Black/Carolina “nubuck’s” were $200 and came with a matching hoody and hat. Many fans were happy to pay $200+ just for an exclusive shoe, but collectors were far from happy when news got out that Nike released this supposedly “limited” and “online exclusive” shoe to retailers to be sold at only $135 or less. Some pairs ended up at designerathletic for only $99.99 angering Jordan followers even more.
The Nubucks were not the only Air Jordan 12 release that angered Jordan collectors. Originally, the White/Carolina was a women’s colorway only made up to size 15W and in limited numbers in large sizes. These of course sold out opening day and hit the $200+ mark in a hurry. More were released as a general release only 2 or 3 months later making these shoes nothing special at all.
The other colors of the XII saw the floor during that season as well. Jordan wore the black/white shoe during 1997 playoff games. With the Air Jordan XII on his feet, MJ made his 11th All-Star game appearance, won his ninth NBA scoring title and was named first team All-NBA and first team All-Defense. He won his fifth NBA title and NBA Finals MVP while wearing the XII.

Beginning in 2003, the Air Jordan XII was re-released in several additional colors. all new color on site: http://www.cradleshoestrade.com/productlist.asp?id=n1338
