Last night, Jordan announced it’s 25th anniversary sneaker, the Jordan 2010. If you haven’t hit the sneaker blogs yet, here it is: a crazy tech sneaker with a window, which will be worn by Dwyane Wade come February. When asked about passing the torch and how the two relate, MJ said (of Wade), “Well, he’s wearing my sneakers, I’m not wearing his.” Which is true, the man is king of this game. Micheal is gonna be nice though, and is taking Wade sock shopping tomorrow.

If you’ve always dreamed of an all-brown colorway of the Jordan Spiz’ike, JB got you covered this season, sort of. Technically it’s a boot—but, the transition from sneaker to winter boot has been seamless on the Spiz’ike, something we can’t say for other attempts (think Air Max 90 Boot) in the past. These like the black colorway we previewed are available now at select Footlocker and Footaction stores around the country.

It’d be easy, and foolish to be one of those people who criticize Jordan Brand for over-saturating shelves with Jordan 1s—especially when sick re-interpretations of the sneaker like this strapped model are dropping. Come November, this “Air Jordan 1 High Strap” will hit stores around the U.S, and expect them to be a sleeper hit. If you want them early, you can pay a premium and cop them at Caliroots for $187 right now.

Bad news for your bank account: Jordan Brand figured out how to make the fusion sneakers cool. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time until JB got it together and started to produce Air Force One/Jordans that retro-lovers mess with, like this AFJ4 that drops tomorrow. If you still need convincing, keep in mind that any pair of the IVs are going to cost you a grip right now, and all the Cool Kids are wearing the hybrids. Check for them at retailers like Foot Locker and Finishline tomorrow for $145.
While the world awaits the release of Jay’s highly anticipated Blueprint 3, Hova was recently spotted dining at one his favorite restaurants, Nobu, more than likely eating away the pain of being murdered by his li’l bro on his second single, “Run This.” And as he stated on his first (and second) singles, Jigga was decked head-to-toe in all black—jacket, shirt, sneakers, chain, everything was murdered out. We already told you what the 10 best black items for the summer are, but if that wasn’t enough, check below to see how you jock Jay-Z and cop the blacked out look.

Sick of all the Jordan 1s dropping? You shouldn’t be. Tomorrow JB releases the Jordan 1 60+ Pack, a two-set of sneakers that were inspired by MJ’s playoff performance against the Celtics in game 2 of the 1985-86 playoffs where he dropped 63 points. Two colorways will drop, the red/black style Jordan wore during the game, and a Celtic-friendly make-up (after the jump) just so Boston fans can feel nostalgic. Check for these to drop in a special packaging box at Jordan Brand retailers for $225.

The Jordan 1’s are taking over. Max Orange’s on the reg, Ripstop’s on the reg, and soon to be these navy blue highs on the reg. Jordan Brand has done a good job on not ruining the classic with recent drops, and these keep the awesome train moving. These strapped make-ups drop June 1st, so plan ahead. We could go on and on and on about how the shoe looks, but it’s probably more fun to just look at them and see for yourself. Detailed shots after the jump.

Another Saturday morning, another Jordan drop. There was some chatter that these 1s got scrapped in favor of a shiny patent leather make-up, but the end result was this 100 percent “rip-stop” nylon upper model. We’re psyched JB went with the nylon, because when it comes to comfort, nylon > patent leather.
If you slept on the Max Orange joints that hit a few weeks ago, these will make for a solid substitute.
