Sporting a colorway that consists of grey, black and red, the kicks are anchored by traditional elephant print detailing with a variety of textured leather/nubuck panels throughout.

Air Jordan XII ''White/Varsity Red-Black

The Air Jordan XII was inspired by "Nisshoki", (the Japanese flag) and a 19th century womans' dress boot. Initial public perception was a disappointment. However, featuring gold-plated steel lace loops, embossed lizard skin pattern and zoom air, this model set a new direction in style and technology in shoe design. Though not as light in weight as previous models, the construction and firmness of the shoe is widely considered to be the most durable and sturdy shoes from the Air Jordan line ever made.

 

This shoe known as "OG's' came in 5 colorways and was released on March 13. The shoe was released on December 25, 2008 with the Eleven as the final countdown pack. In addition, the Twelve was combined with the Thirteen numbered Jordan to produce the 12.5. As of today, the 11/12 countdown package (retro) retails for $350-$450, well above the starting price of $310.

Air Jordan I Retro ''2001''

Designed by Peter Moore, Nike released the sneakers in 1985, the Air Jordan I pair of sneakers was considered a breakthrough in basketball shoe design and colorways.

The Air Jordan I is similar to the Nike Dunk and the Air Force 1 (shoe) in appearance. Although, when first released the Air Jordan's originally sold for $65, but hit retail and clearance racks for as low as $20.

On October 18, the NBA banned the Air Jordan I from being worn in the league. Jordan, however, still wore the Air Jordan I's and was fined $5,000 a game because the sneaker's color was too vibrant for shoe regulations.

 

In 1994, the Air Jordan I's were "retro'ed" in two different colorways. They sold poorly, once again.

As of 2011, the Air Jordan I has been the most reproduced Air Jordan with over 90 colorways.

Nike Air Force One Suprem ''Beijin Edition''

As part of several Nike Air Force 1 Lows inspired by the upcoming Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, Nike recently released the "Obsidian Bird's Nest" Nike Air Force 1 Low.

The 91,000 seat Beijing National Stadium will host the Opening/Closing ceremonies, as well as, the main Track and Field competitions.

Air Jordan V ''Wolf Grey''

Jordan Brand issues us an official look at one of the nicest silhouettes to drop this spring, the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Wolf Grey”. While it is not easy to describe why, the shoe has skyrocketed since it was first seen earlier this year. Set in a wolf grey upper, the model also features contrasting white stitching and branding. Plastic inserts in the side panels compliment the grey and white mixture, while a translucent outsole finishes off the design. Release date is set for May 14, 2011, and while they are not as limited as the Year of the Rabbit Air Jordan 7, the numbers are still pretty low.

 

 

Air Jordan III ''True Blue''

The Air Jordan 3 (III) Retro+ – White / True Blue were released in 2001 and retailed for $100. These were very popular, and sneaker fiends did whatever it took to get their hands on a pair. They feature a white leather upper with elephant print at the heel, toe area and lacing tabs, which was uncommon.The blue trimmig and accents are really nice, and help add to the shoe’s popularity. The Air Jordan 3 (III) was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield, who may actually be responsible for keeping Micheal at Nike, who back then was signed with them, but was planning to walk until he placed his eyes on the marvelous pair of shoes we call the Air Jordan 3 (III).
