Nike Air Jordan 1 “Big John” 1984 Prototype

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 | Posted in Air Jordan, Nike Vintage, Sneaker Culture, Sneakers

Nike Air Jordan 1 Big John 1984 Prototype

It’s not everyday that we get a look at a pair of kicks this old, rare or intriguing. What you are looking at is an early prototype for the Nike Air Jordan 1 that was obviously changed quite a bit before releasing in the final form that we have come to know and love. This prototype sample features a number of glaring differences from the eventual retail version, most notably a significantly higher cut around the ankle, a completely different midsole and outsole and an alternate shape for the mudguard section of the toe as it makes its way up to the lower eyelet holes. Also of interest, you might be wondering about the “BIG JOHN” printing on the heel section of the ankle. Apparently, this sample was made up specially for Nike’s sales manager back in January of 1984, who went by the nickname of, you guessed it, Big John. Big thanks to zoopreme700 for the heads-up.

Nike Air Jordan Spizike Mars Blackmon Edition January 2010

When it comes to the Nike Air Jordan Spiz’ike, you don’t even have to look past the name of the model to figure out where their inspiration came from. Spike Lee has been linked with the Air Jordan line since the 80’s, from the infamous scuffed Nike Air Jordan IV scene in his film, Do The Right Thing, to the beloved Mars Blackmon ad campaign and more. Now, Jordan Brand will honor Spike further with this special Mars Blackmon edition of the Spizike. The shoe features a White leather upper with touches of Black, Fire Red and Blue, as well as some original Grey Elephant print on the heel. To add some extra Spike-related touches, the kicks also sport a “Do You Know?” all-over print lining, a Mars lace lock and a Mars Blackmon illustration on the insole along with the tag line, “Fresh Since 1985” printed below. These are expected to hit Jordan retailers in January

Nike Air Jordan VII (7) “Bordeaux” 2001 Unreleased Sample

Monday, September 14th, 2009 | Posted in Air Jordan, Sneaker News, Sneakers

Nike Air Jordan VII (7) Bordeaux 2001 Unreleased Sample

There is something about seeing pics of unreleased samples that’s so bittersweet. On the one hand, it’s in our nature as sneakerheads to want to see every Air Jordan colorway ever produced, but it can be a hard pill to swallow when you see some of the incredible kicks that never made it to retail. In the case of this Bordeaux Nike Air Jordan VII, the colorway is nothing new to Jordan fans, but how bad does it burn you to know that these classics almost made it to stores as a Retro release? Apparently, these size 9 samples were created back in 2001, but were eventually scratched in favor of the “Raptors“, which were brought back in 2002. As of now, there is no plan to re-release these gems anytime soon, so needless to say, there are a lot of collectors out there that would kill to get their hands on these. The good news is that you can check out a ton of images after checking out the link, and if you are ready to drop some serious dough, this incredibly rare size 9 sample is available now.
