FRESH KICKS:

Jordan Brand announced earlier this year that it would be bringing back its AJ11 “Space Jam” sneaker, with a few updated designs. Now, thanks to KicksOnFire, we get a comprehensive look at the unboxing and details of the shoe. The latest edition comes in a space-themed box with Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny-inspired graphics. Mirroring the shoes that MJ wore during the 1995 NBA Playoffs, the upper sees black mesh overlays with a higher-cut patent leather design. Additionally, the number “45″ is incorporated on the heel, while the insoles see classic Nike Air branding. Take a look at the photos above and mark your calendars for the Dec. 10th drop date.

Photos recently surfaced of an unseen luxury iteration of the Air Jordan 5 silhouette. The surfaced colorway features the classic AJ5 design constructed mainly of dark olive green leather, except on the tongue where a smooth veggie tan leather is found. Waxed rope laces are added to the lifestyle colorway giving the shoe a finishing luxury touch. Although no word on an official release date, stayed tuned for more details as they become available.

Adidas keeps rolling out more and more colorways of its popular NMD R1. For the holiday season, adidas will be releasing a decidedly summery iteration of the shoe. Titled “Sun Glow,” the NMD R1 Glitch will feature peachy orange tones, and complementing white accents on the sole, heel and Three Stripes. Check out the images of the shoe above and pick up a pair this December at adidas retailers for $130 USD.

Kobe Bryant’s last active signature silhouette has not officially retired as of yet. The Nike Kobe 11 Low EM will don another farewell colorway that sports a Deep Royal Blue-dominated upper that’s complemented with Metallic Gold detailing seen on its Swooshes and tongue branding. Subtle red coloring makes its way onto the insoles as well as the heel’s stitching as an homage to Bryant’s unforgettable achilles injury during the end of his career.
While Kobe fans anticipate the Nike Kobe A.D., another special edition of the Nike Kobe 11 4KB in “Liquid Lime” is set to launch soon as well. The aforementioned Nike Kobe 11 Low EM “Deep Royal Blue” does not have a release date as of yet, but has a set retail price of $160 USD. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated regarding release information.
