Jordan Spiz'ike + Air Jordan VI

Here a sneak preview of the upcoming
"Grape" Spiz'ikes and "Infrared"
Jordan VI's that are set to release
sometime in 2010.

Jordan Flight 45 High

Personally, I think it's time to
give up and only put out original
colorways..who's with me. The Air Jordan
45 pics have been released. No words on
when these will get released. I hope they
never see the day of light...

Jordan Brand Release

What better way to come back like
Jordan wearing the 4..5! Here a couple
of releases getting ready to drop for
the forth quarter from Jordan Brand.
I'm definitely excited for the amazing
Space Jam XI's in December!


Air Jordan 12 Retro “Rising Sun” - 10/24/09

Air Jordan 12 Retro “Flu Game” - 11/27/09

Air Jordan 12 Retro White/Red - 12/19/09



Air Jordan 11 Retro “Space Jam” 12/23/09
Even the packaging is hot!

Bordeaux Stylings!

Unfortunately, you will not see these get
any kind of general release.
Maybe if someone twists JB's arm.
This pair was made in 2001, but Nike
instead decided to release the Raptors in 2002.
This sample pair, however, is up for bidding on eBay.

Air Jordan Spiz'ike - Mars Blackmon Edition

Check out what's dropping in January of 2010.
I've always been a fan of this particular hybrid,
and this colorway doesn't disappoint.
Spike Lee has been connected to the Jordan
brand in some way or another since the 1980's,
whether it was the Jordan IV's in Do The Right Thing,
or the Mars Blackmon ad campaign, so it's nice to see the
JB paying tribute to him.

Shepard Fairey x Michael Jordan

In honor of MJ's induction into the Hall of Fame,
Shepard Fairey will be creating a series of
posters marking the most pivotal moments/images
of Michael Jordan's career. Fairey became much
more of a household name after designing that now
iconic Barack Obama campaign poster, and these are
guaranteed to be fresh. Look out for more on this,
right here on the Sole Mentality blog.

Nike Air Jordan 3 "True Blue"

Nobody can be more excited than me
for these releases! I missed it the
first time they were retroed, so I'll
definitely copping these. The Air Jordan 3
“True Blue” has a predominantly white upper,
Elephant Print and True Blue accents.

They are set to drop later on this
summer. But for the ballers you can
get it early at VMVinc for $250

Air Jordan 12 "Nubuck"

These were first an online exclusive!
I remember sitting back in high school
refreshing the browser trying to get them.
Now they're being re-released on May 30th
without the $200 price tag. They will be
sold at your local retailer for $150. The
upper sole is made out of Nubuck and it comes
in black with university blue accents

Air Jordan 7 Black/Charcoal

The Air Jordan 7 60+ Pack in
Black/Charcoal-Team Red is
very similar to the Raptor colorway,
but with Charcoal panels similar to the
Bourdeaux Jordan 7. The release date
is set for August 22nd, alongside
another Air Jordan 7, which will be
done up in Orlando Magic colors.

Release Date Changed

The Air Jordan "Toro Bravo" pack
date has been Changed!I repeat the
date has been changed from May 30th
to May 23. Damn that
sucks for people like me who was
trying to blow money for Memorial Day
Weekend in Miami...

Air Jordan 1 Prom Pack

I wish these where available
when I was in High School!
Instead I was stuck wearing
those plastic shoes the tux
place offered. For the sneakerheads
that wants to wear kicks to their prom
Jordan got you covered. They come in
the two most common colorways for tuxedos.
They are sale for a $100. You can get
them at Jordan Flight Club or at your
local retail stores.

Air Jordan Retro V Raging Bull 3M

One half of the Raging Bull Pack,
is the 3M V. The whole upper is made
up of 3M material. It also contains
red accents and an icy sole. Definitely
something worth copping.
Last time I check they only had an 8.5 but
you can get them early at VMVInc for $250

Air Jordan 1- Cinco De Mayo

Here is a first look at the Air Jordan 1
“Cinco De Mayo” which feature a mix of black,
white, classic green and varsity red, similar
to the black history AF1. It has a multi-colored
wings logo on the ankle, high contrast stitching
that somehow changes from red to green as it works
its way around the satin Swoosh. A white outsole and
green inner liner add up just right.

Air Jordan 1 Velcro Premier Low LS

This Air Jordan I Retro Low Velcro Premier LS
features a 100% jetstream upper with minimal
sapphire blue accents seen on the toe area and tongue.
The Air Jordan wings logo is also colored in sapphire
blue on the heel. The jetstream upper is complimented with
the outsole of the same color. These are set to release

Interview with Air Jordan 2009 Designer Jason Mayden

Air Jordan 2009 Unveiled

Air Jordan 2009 brings new concepts of design,
performance, and style not available in the market.
The shoe introduces Articulated Propulsion Technology
APT), a revolutionary heel system inspired by the carbon
fiber prosthetic used by Paralympians and developed to allow
an explosive forward movement. The heel is also split,
which ensures superior responsiveness by keeping at least
one half of the heel in contact with the ground at all times.

The polished design of the Air Jordan 2009 shoe complements
its performance elements. The design technique of blown glass
inspired the TPU chassis on the outsole. Using this method, each shoe is individually unique and guarantees the ultimate limited edition
experience: a one-of-one collection.

The shoes were designed by Chicago-native Jason Mayden,
subtle design touches include ties back to Michael Jordan’s
legacy that include heel detail references Michael Jordan’s
statue in front of the Chicago Bulls’ United Center:
The left shoe reads “Greatest there ever was,” and the right,
“Greatest there ever will be.”

A special edition of the Air Jordan 2009 will release on January
31st for $230 with a wider public release to follow on February 14th for $190

Tribe Called Quest X Air Jordan 1 Shirt

For the Upcoming Tribe Called Quest
Retro Air Jordan 1 High Strap, Jordan
released a shirt that is inspired by the
groups 3rd album, Midnight Marauder.
It has a Jordan's silhouette, on top of
many faces of Jordan...
