Nik jordan shoes

    Nike Skateboarding has recently dropped a new silhouette for Stefan Janoski which has been well recieved, but it seems the followers of their beloved Dunk SB have been dwindling. Enter in the summer classic, white on whites. No, not Air Force 1’s, a new white on white colorway of the classic Dunk Low or high. This simple colorway of the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro returns as a June release to retailers like CCS. You can pick these up for low price, but you will have to be patient, they aren’t expected to ship out until June 10th. You gotta love the all color, but will this help revive the Nike SB lineup for the 2009? 

    Barack Obama taking over as the 44th President is a great accomplishment. However, the fact that one of the most monumental things in our country’s history happened this week, seems to be some people’s excuse to score a quick buck. The worst of the idea’s we’ve come across is this week’s Fugly. The MiBlox Barack is just NOT where it’s at. Is it really honoring the man, by making money off his popularity? Hopefully this type of thing is one of the many things that “Yes We Can” change.

  The Nike Air Max TN aka AMP was released in the fall of 1998. The shoe was the first running shoe to feature Nikes Tuned Air system. The Nike Tuned Air system consists of two opposing polymer hemispheres that rebound against each other to absorb shock. The Nike Air Max TN is commonly refurred to as the Air TN or Air Tuned.The Air Max TN was a huge hit in London and Europe (especially France), but was not a major hit at home in the US. In fact, the MSRP has actually dropped in the US from its initial price of $125 to $110 - something that rarely happens with Nike. Nike wisely has retroed the Air Max TN countless times, mostly in European markets. In the US, you can only find the Air Max TN at Footlocker, Champs, Footaction as it is exclusive to their chain.The Nike Air Max TN, despite being released in over 100 colorways, has some legenday favorites. The first color it was released in "Hyper Blue" was a huge hit with the US market and foreign markets. Also, the Orange/Black/Red colorway is a must have even to US sneakerheads. This colorways was not released in the US most recently thus making it even more desirable.Nike has tried releasing different variations of the Air Max TN. Nike Air Max TN has been made in a slip-on as well as the Air Max TN 2, Air Max TN 3, Air Max TN 4, and Air Max TN 5 but none of these were slightly successful.

  ike Shox R4 dedicate Top plate distributes impact forces from the heel to the columns. Bottom plate produces a secure base for heel-to-toe transition. Transition wedge allows for a smooth ride. Its been called a lot of things: springy, resilient, bouncy. But to a runner, the Nike Shox R4 means one thing: responsive cushioning. The top plate distributes impact forces from the heel to the individual columns, deflecting like a trampoline. The bottom plate supports the columns, producing a secure base to guide your foot through the heel-to-toe transition. The columns control impact by collapsing quickly at first, and then slowly returning to their original height. The transition wedge allows for a smooth ride from the Nike Shox cushioning system in the heel to the Air-Sole unit found in the forefoot.

    The first R5 shoes Nike Shox prototype is inspired by a highly elastic indoor career at Harvard. The prototype looked more like a medieval torture device called The Boot and much the same way. This first R5 shoes Nike Shox prototype was used to determine the optimal spring rate, but it is clumsy and heavy-metal-frame nothing to improve performance. The next generation of Nike Shox Shoes R5 prototype attempts to address the problem of durability and stability by replacing the closed leaf spring with a hinged carbon fiber shell, creating a something that looked like a running shoe on a diving board. The third attempt, Nike Shox R5 shoes, a simple and more attractive cushioning system using a closed form of leaf spring, but still disappointed in durability, comfort and spring race stability.This not complete enough to resist the effects. Easy on the eyes with good cushioning, it lacked the stability and durability.Based on information from his predecessor, the section prototype of the Nike Shox Shoes R5 line was a reduction, stable shoe with a leaf spring in the form to the best spring the first unit.The first R5 shoes Nike Shox prototype is inspired by a highly flexible interior career at Harvard.

Easier on the eyes with good cushioning, it lacked stability and durability.

   Though it doesn’t appear that Jordan Brand is finished with the Spizike, they aren’t holding back on releasing a new hybrid model. The Jordan Six Rings has made a few appearances on the web in the past, but finally Jordan Brand has released official photos and release details of these Air Jordans.   The Dub Zero was the first “Jordan hybrid” and surfaced the summer following the release of the Jordan 20 with a list of shoes Tinker Hatfield designed pieced together. The second Jordan hybrid took on the theme of Spike Lee to make the Spizike. This shoe sported pieces of every model that Spike Lee helped promote with Michael Jordan. Lastly, the Jordan Six Rings features elements from each of the 7 shoes that Michael Jordan wore to win his 6 NBA Championship Rings. The first colorway of the Jordan Six Rings to release will be Black/Varsity Red-White and will release in the prime of Back To School season on August 16th. Though it seems like virtually everything is increasing in price, this hybrid is  cheaper than Spizike with a sticker price of . So far there are two more sample colors of the Air Jordan Six Rings floating around, but don’t be shocked if many more will start surfacing in the future

     While the obvious name of the Air Jordan 2009 was a story in and of itself leaving the Jordan 1-XX3 series behind, the Jordan 2009 has as much in common as the prior models - a revolutionary design, unparalleled performance and one of a kind style. Michael Jordan collaborated with Jason Mayden, Jordan Brand’s Senior Footwear Designer, to create the Air Jordan 2009. The shoe combines new cutting-edge performance technology with innovative style, adhering to the Nike Considered Design ethos of environmentally-preferred shoe development and construction. Providing the most elite experience in basketball performance and style, the Air Jordan 2009 stays in line with the franchise’s history, yet the design clearly exhibits a forward-thinking approach. The Air Jordan 2009 incorporates a new, innovative technology in basketball footwear called Articulated Propulsion Technology, or APT. The carbon fiber prosthetic running technology used by Paralympians such as April Holmes, a Team Jordan track and field athlete and the world record holder in the 100, 200 and 400-meter races, inspired designers to incorporate those elements into the shoe and results in its futuristic look. Following the same basic form as the prosthesis Holmes wore during her gold medal 100-meter race for the 2008 Paralympic Games, the Air Jordan 2009’s APT allows the athlete to explosively and quickly propel forward on the court. In addition to its performance technology platform, the Air Jordan 2009’s modern design elements offer a bold style statement by incorporating satin pleats and polishable dress-shoe-like panache leather, the first Air Jordan to utilize these luxurious design elements. A diamond-shaped hologram references the authenticity of the Air Jordan franchise while another distinguishing factor is the midsole’s thermo plastic urethane chassis. Created with a special injection process, the chassis features a blown-glass-inspired pattern that is unique to every shoe, making each pair a unique, one-of-one limited edition collection

   The Air Jordan XX3 (Jordan 23) is a ground breaking shoe like many of the other Air Jordans. MJ and JB took strides forward with sustainability producing the shoe without the use of any glue - the first of its kind for a performance basketball shoe. This was accomplished with complex and fine tuned engineering from none other than Tinker Hatfield. The stitching on the side of the shoe adds strength to the shoe, but also makes it much harder to bootleg - something else that JB took into consideration when making these shoes.The Titanium Jordan XX3 was released on January 25th to only 23 stores who only received 23 pairs. Oh yeah, the price $ - catch the Jordan 23 theme? The first Jordan XX3 released was the White/Titanium-University Blue colorway, but there will be more colorways of the Jordan 23 coming in the future

   The Jordan 18 was released in 2003 and was the shoe for Jordan’s last season (part 3).Jordan played for the Washington Wizards, but his knees didn’t hold up for all of the games. Jordan returned towards the end of the season and ended his career on April 16, 2003 in a loss against the 76ers. Though many would love to see Jordan back yet again, its pretty safe to say that Jordan has retired…for good.New head designerCreator of the design of the Jordan 18 was Tate Kuerbis (Jordan Senior Footwear Designer). A person that had been part of the Jordan footwear design team since 1999 and with Nike since 1995. The inspiration of the design is a combination fo a number of things; Sleek racing lines of the auto world, Carbon fiber-based monocoque of F1 race cars, Race car driving shoes (rubber heel wrap) and Fine Italian dress shoes (bold stitching on the soles).

   The Jordan 17 was released February 9, 2002. This was the first shoe released since Jordan’s 2nd return to the NBA playing for the Washington Wizards. The first color to release matched their jersey. For a while, those who talked about a 3rd coming of Jordan were thought to be as crazy as the people who think Elvis, Tupac, and Biggie are still alive. Jordan proved all the skeptics wrong on September 25, 2001 when he announced he would return to the NBA and suit up as a Washington Wizard. The Jordan 17 design was said to be inspired by three things; “the fine details from an Aston Martin, the smooth lines and flow of a jazz solo and the long Air Jordan history of innovations in style”Well, if the Air Jordan 16’s were equipped with a gaiter/shroud that was removable and that would cover almost more than half of the shoe, the Jordan 17’s were no worse. With a removable midfoot cover you were once again given the power to choose whether or not the laces should be visible!Metal and CDBut the midfoot cover was not everything. The Jordan 17 came with a Jumpman embossed metal carrying case. So, this was not your average shoe box. OK, we had seen this when the Japan exclusive Air Jordan I’s were released on January 1st 2001 but hey, now everyone could get one.But, believe it or not, it doesn’t stop there. In the lid of the carrying case a CD-rom could be found. Nike really knew how to make their customers happy!Overpriced?When you decide to add a metal case and a CD something tells you the production cost must rise quite a bit. This also seemed to be the case as the Jordan 17 had a retail price at $200.Retailers everywhere had problems convincing people that $200 for a pair of shoes was worth it and many retailers cut prices down to $160 which was the retail price of the Air Jordan 16.

  The Jordan 14 was released in 1998-99, but one famous pair got on Jordan’s feet just in time before his retirement (Part 2).On January 13, 1999 Jordan announced his retirement from the NBA for the second and what was supposed to be the final time. The NBA players union started a lockout on June 30, 1998 just a few weeks after Jordan won his sixth championship. Many speculate that the strike was too much for Michael to handle as he was one who just wanted to play basketball and not politics.  

   The Jordan 13 was released in 1997-98 which was the last season that Jordan played for the Bulls.While wearing the Jordan 13’s Jordan broke Karemm Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA record by scoring double-digits for the 788th consecutive game. Jordan also led the bulls to the franchise’s sixth NBA Championship Title. Jordan took home his sixth ring along with his sixth Final MVP honor.Panther PawsTinker Hatfield was the mastermind behind the genius design of the Jordan 13. The Jordan 13 is regarded as the best designed Jordan shoe by a large percentage of Jordan sneaker fans. The Jordan 13 was the first and only Jordan shoes to feature a hologram. The outsole received inspiration from the paws of a Panther. Jordan’s nickname on the court from fellow NBA players was “Black Cat” for his fast reflexes and speed down the court

   The Jordan 12 was released in 1996-97 and were the first Air Jordan shoes in the Jordan Brand line.In this season, Jordan lost the MVP by the narrowest margin in NBA history to Karl Malone as he helped lead his Jazz to the NBA Finals only to fall to Jordan and the Bulls. Jordan wore the Jordan 12’s while he took home his fifth NBA title and fifth NBA Finals MVP.Love for JapanThe Jordan 12 featured something very unique in terms of design. The Jordan 12 upper was stitched to resemble the Japanese Rising Sun flag. The Jordan 12 also was the most durable shoes out of the whole Jordan shoe series. In addition to this, the Jordan 12 provides the most ankle support which was great for keeping Jordan on the floor for the whole season.Jordan Brand is BornIn September, 1997, Nike decided to launch a new sub-brand of Nike called Jordan Brand. The Jordan 12 was the first Jordan shoe to be part of the Jordan Brand collection and also did not have the Nike logo anywhere on the shoe - not even the insole. The shoes did come in a Nike box, but these were the last.

   The legendary Jordan 11 was first released for for 1995-96 season. The Jordan 11 are the most famous and most popular model of the Air Jordan line.Back With Aggression!Jordan was back for real and he led the Bulls to yet another NBA victory. He also became the second man to ever win Most Valuable Player awards for the regular season, All-Star Game and NBA Finals in the same season. Jordan averaged 30.4 points per game and scored 40 or more points in nine games while wearing the Jordan 11’s. What a come back!

   The Jordan 10 was released in 1994-95 despite Jordan’s absense from the NBA. The Jordan 10 featured a different shape than the previous Jordan shoes did.Not everyone plays like MikeToo bad for Mike (but good for all of his followers), baseball went on strike thus leaving Jordan hanging with nothing to do - that is if he didn’t return to the NBA. Sure enough, Jordan shocked everyone when he returned from retirement on March 19, 1995. Since his jersey had been retired, he had to go back onto the court wearing #45 until the technicalities were cleared out of the way.Surprised Nike?It seemed as if Nike wasn’t expecting to see Jordan back in the game so soon. Nike started to re-release older model’s of the Air Jordan series (Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 2, Air Jordan 3) and the Jordan 10 soles featured an honor or an award from each year Michael had spent in the NBA.

   The Jordan 9 was released in 1993 shortly following the announcement of Jordan’s retirement.On October 6th 1993, Jordan gave the basketball world a shock when he announced his retirement from the NBA. This was just one day before training camp and it was not what anyone had expected at this time. The greatest basketball player of all time retiring at the age of 30. A decision probably affected by the fact that his father was murdered in North Carolina in the summer of 1993 just before he won his third championship.MultilingualThe shoe being released was plain and sturdy and was the first model that Michael did not wear in an NBA seasonal game (due to the retirement). The sole had lots of details and a large 23 was stitched at the back of the shoe.There were also words in different languages on the soles of the shoes, this is what is said;Right shoe:dédié (french) - dedicatedfuerza (spanish) - forceintenso (italian) - intenseliberté (french) - freedomanmutig (german) - gracefulLeft shoe:спорт (russian) - sportuhuru (swahili) - independenceсвобода (russian) - freedomathletisch (german) - athleticmuundaji (swahili) - Cleated Air JordansAs Michael had placed the basketball on the curb he decided to take on the game of baseball. A special cleated version of the IX’s was made and helped him in his Birmingham Barons baseball career.The Jordan 9’s had not disappeared from the courts though. Known as player samples there were Air Jordan IX’s being produced with not only #23 on the back, but with individual numbers for players such as Kendall Gill (#13), and Mitch Richmond (#2).

     The Jordan 8 was released during the 1992-93 “Three-Peat” Championship season. The Jordan 8 was the last Air Jordan shoe that Jordan wore before retiring the first time.The Bulls and Jordan won their third consecutive NBA title. Jordan himself got his seventh straight scoring title and reached a milestone in his NBA career when scoring his 20,000th point.Hot and heavyThe Jordan 8 was one heavy beast. Its base was clearly close to its predecessor but it had a lot more details, color and accents. It had cross-over velcro/leather straps and was so padded your foot got surprised.Due to the thick padding the shoe was heavy and also easily got very warm. Many ponder that the heat could have been the reason why Michael was bothered with athlete’s foot infections during the season.Retro BoomThe Jordan 8 was first retroed in 2003. Nike kept it short and sweet with the Jordan 8 retro release. There were only 4 colorways released in total with two mids and two lows. The Jordan 8 retros were one of the most anticipated retros ever released.

     The Jordan 7 was worn by Mike in the 1991-92 season as well as the gold-medal winning Barcelona Olympic Games.As Good As It GetsWhile wearing the Jordan 7’s, Michael Jordan won his third MVP award, second NBA championship, and the NBA scoring title. On top of that, Jordan took home his second Olympic Gold Medal when the Dream Team of ‘92 crushed the international competition including a 116-48 rout over Angola.Unique FeaturesThe Jordan 7 is a very unique shoe in the Jordan line as well as a basketball shoe. The Air Jordan 7 featured Huarache technology which made the shoe really stick to your foot. The shoe was much lighter weight than some of the previous Air Jordans as well. The Jordan 7 was also unique in that it did not feature the “Nike Air” logo, a visible air unit, or clear soles.Once again, designed by Tinker Hatfield, the shoe had something new. A neoprene sockliner was the first of its kind. The Jordan 7 was promoted in a marketing campaign in which Michael Jordan appeared with Bugs Bunny. The Jordan 7’s then inherited the nickname “the Buggs”.The Divide of Jordan FollowersThe Jordan vii was a love/hate shoe. Many collectors thought it was the greatest shoe ever, while many thought it was the worst shoe imaginable. None-the-less, it is still a very popular shoe and has a large following whenever re-released.Retro newsThe first retro release happened in December, 2002 but Nike is set to bring the Jordan 7 back again. In 2004, Nike re-released the Olympic colorway to celebrate the 2004 Athens Games. In 2006, Nike is set to bring back the White/Black-Cardinal Jordan vii’s as well as a handful of Retro+’s.  

   The Jordan 6 was released for the 1990-91 season. This season and this shoe was part of a defining moment for Michael Jordan and all of the Air Jordans.Championship at last!Every year the Jordan had played was a great one, but this year was just a little sweeter for Mike. The Bulls won the NBA Championship defeating the LA Laker’s in the Finals. Jordan again took home the NBA scoring title and his 2nd of 5 MVP awards.Rubber toungeWhat is there to say else than Hatfield created another classic. This time with a rubber tounge featuring two holes which the bearer could use to easily get the kicks on. He kept the idea with clear rubber soles and lace locks from the Air Jordan 5's but apart from that this felt like a brand new AJ design for the Jordan 6.Retro or a butchered classic?Right before the retro release of the black/black-infra-red Air Jordan 6, pictures were published on webpages where it showed that they had reversed the midsole colors so that the red was now black and vice versa. This upset a whole lot of collectors and the word “butchered” was what would define this way of “destroying” the classic Jordan 6. Nike kept their ears to the street and made the Air Jordan 6 just like the original keeping their followers happy. There are several sample pairs of the “butchered” Jordan 6 floating around the sneaker collecting community, however, don’t expect to get these for any less than $500.The Retro Jordan 6 was the first retro Jordan shoe to be made in an olympic colorway. For the Sydney 2000 games, an Olympic colorway was made in limited numbers of 3000 pairs. Today, 6 years later, many Jordan collectors estimate that the number of deadstock pairs of the Olympic Jordan 6 is less than 150 or 200 pairs.To celebrate the defining moment of Jordan’s first championship, Nike released a commemorative Black/Gold Air Jordan 6 packaged with a White/Black/Gold Jordan 11 sold as the “Defining Moments Package”.
