Few non-signature shoes have had as successful a postseason legacy as the Soldier. Each of those Soldier games from LeBron were so dominant, the images of the stripped-down, strapped shoes are inseparable from the performances themselves. At the heart of the Black Community Commitment, announced by Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand in 2020, is a desire to take action where it is needed most. Our...

It's such an odd choice to fly so close to the sun because the reactions are quite predictable. Is Jordan Brand running out of ideas Likely not, but these upcoming Jordans are such a head-scratcher that they'd almost be worth the cop and the quick color swap. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and originally released as the Air Max III in 1990, the Air Max 90 quite literally enlarged the window of...

From the Air Jordan 1 to the latest Air Jordan 35, Jordan Brand has built a strong legacy predicated on the legendary Michael Jordan. Seemingly inspired by the original Air Jordan 1's Royal ensemble from 1985, the upcoming retro opts for a two-tone arrangement across its leather upper. If you look at photos from that game, you Nike x Off-White can see on my face, I was completely unsure of...

The Air Jordan 14 is Michael Jordan's fourteenth signature shoe. It originally released in 1998, boasting a Ferrari influenced design that served as an homage to Michael Jordan's love for motorsports. Compared to many of Jordan Brand's favorites - such as the AJ1 and AJ4 - the Air Jordan 8 rarely receives much attention. But this year, things are looking up for the silhouette, as it recently...

A playful twist on the predominantly brown retro Scott launched in July 2019, the upcoming sneakers opt for a heavily-white and off-white arrangement. The team shifted away from exposing the Zoom bags, a repeated trait from the Air Jordan XXXIV and XXXV, and enclosed them to connect a foam ribbon design through the midsole. FlyEase is driven by a universal design ethos that champions the value...

This particular release also comes attached with a special edition shoebox that sees the OG-style packaging in white and volt, while a pre-worn aesthetic is applied via the cracked leather on the collar and the faded laces - perhaps a precursor to the upcoming Reimagined Air Jordan 1s. Even in sports, I view it through the lens of community, not competition. The parallel path creates visual...
