The NBA All-Star festivities are almost here, and brands are gearing up to celebrate one of the most momentous sneaker occasions of the year in style. It’s easy to get lost on all of the All-Star centric releases, so we’re here to give you a full recap of what will be releasing in an ASG-theme over the next few weeks. Jordan Brand will be releasing a number of Laser inspirations to help usher in 30 years of Jordan in New York City. Kanye and the three stripes will launch the adidas Yeezy. Other brands have big plans too, as Packer Shoes and SNS have hooked up with Reebok for a 7-shoe collaboration. All of that is occurring even before a mention of Nike Basketball’s upcoming release of the LeBron 12, Kobe 10, KD 7, and Kyrie 1 in special aesthetics based on NYC locales.
Jordan Brand’s 2015 All-Star Sneaker Releases
Air Jordan “Laser Collection”
Jordan Brand celebrates its 30th Anniversary and the All-Star Game at the same time with three Laser-printed retros. Featuring a white base, metallic silver laser etching arrives throughout the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 4, and Air Jordan 20.

So much for that lawsuit… In the midst of accusations about the famous Jumpman logo’s true origin, Jordan Brand went ahead and released this realistic portrayal of Mike debuting the pose atop the Air Jordan 29. Featuring a gradient sunset backdrop, MJ wears his vintage sweatsuit.
Air Jordan 10 “Bulls Over Broadway”

A classic revisited. Mike’s legendary Air Jordan 1 “Bred” returns in lowtop form featuring OG ‘Nike Air’ branding while the nostalgic ‘Wings’ logo gets moved to the back heel. Even the Swoosh gets a true to form retro feel. (It’s worth noting that this colorway was never an original Air Jordan 1 Low back in 1985, just the high-top).

Style Code: 705178-045
Release Date: 02/15/15
