Air Jordan 12 Retro “The Master”

Michael Jordan was a master of the game of basketball. From his game-winning buzzer beaters, improved jump shooting once he lost his high-flying game to age, and near-psychotic traits of competitiveness, we’ll simply never see another truly like Mike. This weekend, Jordan Brand is honoring 1997’s iconic “The Master” poster with a new luxurious take on the Air Jordan 12. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Air Jordan XII, the newest Air Jordan 12 Retro pulls inspiration from the iconic “The Master” poster. A black base grounds the shoe, while hints of white and gold play off the poster’s radiant lines.

Reebok Question “All-Star”


When Oakland hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 2000, Reebok made a Warriors-inspired colorway of the Question for Allen Iverson to wear. Though he was already into the Answer part of his sneaker line, the idea was for Iverson to wear the Question in the host city’s colors for each All-Star appearance throughout his career. However, a stickler for matching, he passed on his boldly colored special design for a simple black-based version of the Answer 3.

Iverson’s decision on that day didn’t stop fans from taking to the colorway. It’s been released to great fanfare on multiple occasions, most recently as a Pick Your Shoes exclusive in 2010. Now, with Reebok set to celebrate the Question’s 20th Anniversary next year, the “All-Star” colorway is on deck again.

Previewed here, the 2016 retro remains pretty faithful to the original. And with the Golden State Warriors playing their best basketball in franchise history, more sneakerheads may be after this shoe than ever.

AIR JORDAN 2 RETRO ‘JUST DON’


The Air Jordan II brought luxury to the hardwood. Originally crafted in Italy from the finest of materials, the storied silhouette’s level of luxury is now raised by Chicago’s own Don C. Hailing from the South Side of Chicago, Don C came up at a time when the Bulls, number 23 and his Air Jordan sneakers took over the city. Don C launched Just Don in 2011, helping bridge the gap between sportswear and luxury fashion with unique, upscale caps. Following their debut collaboration in 2015, Just Don and Jordan now present the new Air Jordan II by Don C. Complete with a matching Just Don x Jordan Cap in the pack, the Air Jordan II is draped in quilted leather for a luxurious take on the 1987 icon.

Air Jordan 4 Retro “Cement” 2016


Jordan Brand launched the Retro Remaster initiative in spring of 2015. In response to consumer feedback, it incorporated enhanced color options, cushioning, materials and shapes while retaining each shoe’s original character. The brand sustains this initiative by evolving the remastering process and reintroducing the Nike Air logo on the heels of storied silhouettes. The decision, which honors original designs like never before, was approved by Michael Jordan and continues with the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Cement’

The fan-favorite Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Cement’ returns for the first time since 1999, complete with randomized paint splashes, premium leather uppers and the famous NIKE AIR logo on the heel.

Premium tumbled leather pairs with Microfiber suede to create a look of timelessness, while the tumbled patent leather rand around the shoe features an iridescent sheen.

All of this is topped off with a new tag inside the tongue which reads: “72-10 QUALITY INSPIRED BY THE GREATEST SEASON LED BY THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER.”
