On October 20th, another colorway of the women’s Air Jordan VIII Retro will be released.
The Ice Blue/Orange Blaze-Silver colorway is a follow up to the Aqua version that come out last month. Personally, I like the sleek look of the Ice Blue edition better than then Aqua.
This sneaker features a nice soft sky blue color with silver trim and touches of orange. My favorite part of the shoe is the metallic silver tongue with the tri-color Jordan logo. The combination of these three colors is very sweet.
Here’s a preview of some catalog pics for the upcoming 08 Jordan releases. These include the Air Jordan 5 and Air Force 1 hybrid, the Air Jordan 23, and Jeter model, etc.
The 12.5 Team is a new model name from Jordan Brand. The company will release this new model in December 1st, 2007 for $125.
Air-Randy shows us a picture of the collaboration between Nike Air Jordan and the Nike Air Force One. The Air Jordan 12 is used on the Jordan side, featuring White, Black and Taxi color way. You can see that Jordan Brand used the Air Force One sole at the sole. The Air Jordan 12 x Air Force One Fusion also features the AF1 Strap and overall shape of the Air Force One.

I am probably not the only shoe writer who thinks that the Air Jordan line of basketball kicks is overrated. In fact, I think the Jordan name has been stretched as thin as it possibly can while maintaining its cache. It may be the fact that Jordan ruined some of his luster by coming back to the Wizards or the discomfort that comes from wearing these shoes for an extended period of time. Prepare not to be dazzled with the Jordan 15s that are coming out soon.
These shoes will feature the Air Jordan’s typically high price and they may not be released in multiple platforms initially. The prospect of paying upwards of $125 for a pair of shoes you may not be able to try on first does not sound appealing. I would pass on these shoes if they do not end up on store shelves upon release for the obvious reasons.
A final reason to dislike Air Jordans in general and the Air Jordan 15s is their bland appearance. This shoe obviously harkens back to old school high tops with some new school design. The colorways are adequate if you are a high school basketball team with some disposable income but they lack the style that the average baller desires. You can choose from all black with the red Jordan symbol and a gold, white and black colorway that is marginally better than the standard Air Jordan 15s. I will try and hunt a pair of these shoes down if they hit stores just to fulfill my sick fantasy of trying out as many shoes as possible but that is where my involvement with the new Air Jordans ends.
The original colorway for the Air Jordan Retros recently hit stores. But now the Black/ Royal Blue are going to be released. They feature a black base with Royal Blue accents and contrast stitching. The Black/ Royal blue Air Jordan Retros are now available at a local retailer near you for $85.
