Since their creation in 1984, New Jordans 2016 have been among the best-selling basketball shoes in the world. The hype surrounding these shoes can be attributed to their inspiration and their namesake: Michael Jordan. When Michael Jordan got drafted for the Chicago Bulls and signed with Nike back in 1984, basketball and sneaker culture would never be the same. From that original Air Jordan 1 to today's retro Jordan shoes and performance models from the likes of Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, and Russell Westbrook, Air Jordans (and master designer, Tinker Hatfield) have changed sneaker, sports, and pop culture in a way that no other signature basketball shoe line has or probably will. It might be safe to say that Js are here to stay. Featuring a very clean Light Bone/White-Pure Platinum-Wolf Grey colorway, this Air Jordan 4 Premium dons light cream and beige hues across its perforated reptilian upper and complements it with matching hits to the laces, mud guard and tongue. A clean white sole rounds out the shoe’s light color scheme.
The Cheap Jordans 2016 is sheathed in a dauntless leather finish that comes in smooth black and white colorways. Jordan Brand continues to tinker with the iconic silhouette while adding more perforations — toe box and side panels — to help compensate for the balmier seasons. Furthermore, a Vachetta tan lining contrasts the leather upper for a nice and simple touch. Fresh off a historic 63-point performance against the Boston Celtics in the NBA playoffs (still a single-game playoff record to this day), a then 23-year-old Michael Jordan appeared on Late Night with David Letterman back in 1986 to talk, among other things, the infamous "Bred" Air Jordan 1. Now, three decades later, Nike and Jordan Brand are taking it back to ’86 with a "Letterman" edition of the kicks. A nod to MJ’s bold attire on the show, the kicks come in bright red leather as deep navy patent leather accents take care of the collar and Swoosh. Additional navy accents also hit the wings logo, nylon tongue, laces, lining and rubber outsole while a contrasting white midsole finishes things off. As an added bonus, the kicks even sport custom "On Air" graphic footbeds.
New Air Jordan Shoes has recently unveiled the latest iteration of the Air Jordan 12 Retro, this time in an unintentional ode to the late and great Prince. The pair, dubbed "Ultra Violet," sports a predominantly black upper in suede, leather and rubber, with golden metal eyelets as a modest yet bold detail. The shoe's standout feature however is its almost luminescent purple sole unit, with the purple theme running up the heel, through to the tab, into the entire lining, and rounded off on the tongue’s Jumpman logo. If you thought the long awaited return of the "Varsity Red" make-up and brand new "Midnight Navy" colorway were cool, wait until you see the latest version of the low-top Air Jordan 11. Taking on some Olympic inspiration for the summer games ahead, the kicks are essentially yet another “Concord” release, but one that ditches the black patent leather mudguard for metallic gold while employing black herringbone pods on the icy outsole.
