Air Jordan 1 Skinny GS

Air Jordan 1 Skinny GS

While the Air Jordan 1 has seen silhouette makeovers in the past, none have looked as far-fetched as the Skinny GS. While the colorway remains an OG classic ‘Chicago’, that’s where the traditionalism ends. An extended upper literally builds upon the original by adding a mesh like ventilation unit to the top of the shoe and the midsole is cut in half to bring the sneaker closer to the ground – hence the ‘Skinny’ namesake. Let us know what you think of this model while viewing more photos after the jump and pick up a pair of the Skinny GS at Corporate.

Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau

Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau

The Air Jordan 1 Mid has a classic appeal that has been dressed down and then back up time and time again. And as rereleases and reimaginings of the iconic silhouette continue to to appear, today we find the Air Jordan 1 Mid Noveau on the more luxurious side of things. With a black nubuck and leather upper and a gym red liner and sole, the Noveau dresses things down for casual wear, but the true advancement of this particular release hides within the shoe – where a Solarsoft footbed from Nike shoes like the Rosherun rests for a more comfortable ride. View more images after the jump and stay tuned for a release date.

Air Jordan XII: David Price PE Cleats

Air Jordan XII: David Price PE Cleats

While Michael Jordan’s brief swing (Get it?) at baseball didn’t last long, it did open doors for his signature line to get some great baseball makeovers. We’ve seen countless PEs for Jimmy Rollins and Derek Jeter over the years and this PE given to Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price is no exception of how Jordan Brand can successfully rework their basketball shoes for other sports. With DP14 written on the heel and the Rays’ colorway reminding us of the Tar Heels’, this PE made for an easy transition. Hit the jump for more images.

Air Jordan VI: White/Infrared   Releasing February 2014

The Air Jordan VI “Infrared”, the one featuring the white base, will release again in February of 2014. Given how far out that date is there are of course no actual images of the sneaker to be had at the moment, but a style number does indeed exist. Next year will be the 23rd anniversary of the design, so it doesn’t exactly come as a big surprise to see the sneakers back around.
