The True Flights just give Jordan Brand a bad image. Many people say that the True Flights look identical to the 7s, but these don´t do the 7s any justice. If you say that the True Flights look like the 7s, your basically insulting a legendary sneaker. Even with the terrible design of the shoe, people continue to buy the sneaker. So why should Jordan Brand stop producing them? Hey, there making money off these, so they might be doing something right. Anyways, another colorway of the True Flights are available now. This shoe will only come in GS sizes because of the immature colorway, which is officialy dubbed White/Metallic Silver/Perfect Pink. Im sure a lot kids are digging these, so this is for the kids. These are available now.

Word association game? A sneakerhead would respond to “1985″ with “Nike Air Jordan 1″ with unflinching speed and without a second thought. There is no shame in that; the Nike Air Jordan 1 is the shoe that started the sneaker-collecting craze and the constant release of retros keeps up hungry and wanting more. Amid all the Nike Air Jordan releases we are expecting this year, get ready for the knock-out punch that will top them all; the return of the Nike Air Jordan 1 AJKO.

After a quarter-century after its original release, the AJKO rejoins us donning the same canvas upper that made it the standout that it was. The reincarnation of Nike Air Jordan 1 KO is almost spot-on with the materials and AJKO Wings logo, but there are a few minor details that might cause some stir. The Jumpman logo has replaced the OG Nike Air logo, but that is expected with all Nike Air Jordans post Nike-Jordan Brand split. The bottom sole, however, takes on a Nike Dunk/Air Jordan 1 sole, and the midsole is given the dirty treatment, as seen on Nike’s vintage rehashings like the Nike Vandal Nylon VNTG. For the Jordan heads out there who may not be familiar AJKO, consider these the ultimate retro of 2010.

This Nike Air Jordan III Retro looks like it belongs alongside this year’s Jordan Motorsports pack (the first to be released to retail, in the six year series), but is actually from 2006. It has hand written numbering on the outer heel (count/count) and a single digit on the inner heel that might represent different componentry. Doesn’t really matter, though, since you are not going to wear them anyway. This size 9 sample is available for your collection on eBay.

In a few more weeks Nike Sportswear will release their new Nike Air Classic BW Gen II, an updated version of the Nike Air Classic BW that was originally introduced back in 1991. The new Nike Air Classic BW Gen II keeps the original silhouette of the BW in tact while updating the upper with a sonic welded no seam upper along with infusing one of Nike’s newest innovations, Torch, into different parts of the shoe. Torch is a 3-layer textile that is not only lightweight and breathable but also helps with the moisture management inside of the sneaker. Here you can see a detailed image of the first colorway that will be released in Spring 2010, in Black and White. The shoes laces have been changed to the new Nike (Lace up. Save lives.) shoelaces.
