Kid Cudi has been bopping around the US for his To The Moon” Tour lately, and during his recent stop in Phoenix, Arizona he received a special pair of Air Jordan 4sthat he commissioned RESHOEVN8R’s Vick Almighty to lend his creative touch to. Originally an Air Jordan 4 “Military Black” pair, the kicks have been completely reworked with interstellar colors and elements representative of Cudi’s Man on the Moon Part 1 and Man on the Moon Part 2.
Smooth leather mudguards have been fitted with a purple paint job and come stamped with the hip hop artist’s signature logo towards the rear, and this comes complemented by shaggy suede forefoot overlays that are dyed in a dusted pink. Cages, shoe laces and netting all match up in pink, while the collars are fashioned with a playful purple to pink gradience. Elsewhere on the upper, the Jumpman logos have been remixed with patches that nod to the aforementioned tour while the heel counters feature pink Jordan logos and the insoles split their branding with his moniker. Additionally, LED lights are stationed inside the Air units to give the kicks a glowing effect.
Jordan Brand has shown love to the Air Jordan 5 throughout 2022 with collaborations and new colorways from start to finish. Glancing at early 2023 plans, this looks to remain true as University of North Carolina colors will grace the model for the first time. Once again, the iconic color palette is used by the brand, which is only fitting considering the school serves as Michael Jordan’s alma matter.
Following an early look at the colorway, detailed images of the Air Jordan 5 “UNC” have now arrived. “Carolina Blue” covers the nubuck upper while silver accents land on the tongue and part of the midsole. Additional color diversity is provided by the rest of the midsole in black, translucent webbed window, black branding elements at the tongue and heel and a blue translucent finish on the rubber outsole. Lastly, the inside of the tongues read “HEART.” and “SOUL.” in flipped text.
A tentative release date of March 4 for this UNC-inspired Air Jordan 5 remains in place with an expected price of $225 USD via Nike and select retailers. Check out the pair above and keep an eye out for official information and images to come from Nike in the coming months.

LeBron James, at the age of 37, is heading into his 20th season in the NBA. The four time NBA champion, eighteen time NBA All-Star and four time NBA Most Valuable Player has cemented himself as one of the best to ever grace the court. However, he’s not done writing history yet. Backed by sportswear giant Nike (NYSE:NKE -1.55%) , James has launched a new signature sneaker in his Nike LeBron series every year. In continuation of this, the duo now presents the Nike LeBron 20.
Early looks at the LeBron 20 have popped up in a triple pink and Lakers colorwaypreviously. Now, the Swoosh has shared official images of a “Barely Green” look. While we still await Nike’s proper unveiling of the sneaker, the detailed presentation of this colorway offers much information. First, the upper is a knit that lands in a mint green. An “XX” lace dubrae arrives in a shiny pink while each base Swoosh carries a seafoam green with contrast stitching outlining it. On the lateral, an additional Swoosh with an iridescent finish and pink outline rests atop the base Swoosh. Sole unit specifications have not been disclosed but a midfoot plate is visible alongside multiple shades of pink that cover the midsole and rubber outsole.
Look for the Nike LeBron 20 “Barely Green” to be available via Nike and select Nike Basketball retailers in the coming weeks at an expected price of $200 USD.
Since showing off his first collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand in 2017 with an unreleased Jordan Trunner and his first Air Force 1 Low colorway, Travis Scott quickly established himself as a major presence in the world of sneakers. Countless releases have taken place in the last five years with the Air Jordan 6 being one of the many silhouettes La Flame has outfitted. First, he brought a military green to the classic sneaker and followed up two years later with a “British Khaki” colorway. However, one look that slipped between the cracks is an unreleased bright yellow makeover.
This bold colorway would be spotted several times on-foot via Offset, only to be later deemed a friends and family exclusive after an expected release period came and went. Originally, sources reported Offset’s pair to be one of one, however, a few pairs have surfaced since. Looking closer at this extremely rare pair, its detailing and construction seems to match the military green release – aside from its color palette. Bright yellow covers the suede upper with Scott’s signature stash pocket at the lateral collar returning with co-branding embroidered on the heel.
Unfortunately for collectors, this pair will remain one of the rarest Travis Scott x Jordan Brand colorways as only a few friends and family pairs are known to exist. Take a closer look at the pair above and below, courtesy of English Sole.
