Unreleased Air Jordan XIII Inspired Trainer

unreleased jordan xiii trainer 13 Unreleased Air Jordan XIII Inspired Trainer

The Air Jordan XIII made a mini-comeback this Spring season, with the “He Got Game” and the new “Squadron Blue” colorway making their way to retailers during the first two months of the year. It appears that an Air Jordan XIII-inspired trainer shoe was in the works as we get a look at four unreleased colorways of this new model; the upper has a clear Air Jordan XIII focus with a ventlated upper and a new outsole designed with ample grooves for maximum flexion. No word on a release this year (and it may even be a scrapped sample), so check out the four colorways below and purchase one of the four colorways from jilliancleary1974 on eBay.

Unreleased Air Jordan Samples Through The Years

Posted on May 8, 2013 by John K.

air jordan unreleased samples through the years Unreleased Air Jordan Samples Through The Years

Over the years we’ve seen some amazing (and questionable) colorways of Air Jordans and Air Jordan Retros surface on the web. In fact, there might be as many unreleased mock-ups as there are produced versions, but who knows what’s really stowed in the deep dark vaults inside the Jordan Brand headquarters and overseas factories? We’ve compiled a fairly thorough gallery of some notable Air Jordan sample colorways that have never seen the light of day at retail; some of these already have noted legends behind them, like the Air Jordan VI “Infrared” Retro with the flipped midsole and the Air Jordan V “Gold” that may or may not have been made for an employee, but some of the stuff we’ve come across cause us to question why the shoes were never released, or why they were created in the first place! Of course, this gallery isn’t a complete list of every unreleased sample, but take a moment to skim through the gallery below and let us know which unreleased Air Jordan sample catches your eyes the most.

Air Jordan #XX8DaysOfFlight Winners

Air Jordan #XX8DaysOfFlight Winners

It appears that the massive “XX8 Days of Flight” set of Air Jordans given away by Jordan Brand has finally begun to make its way into the hands of the winners. You’ll recall that entry involved snapping a pic of yourself on Instagram using #XX8DaysofFlight wearing the Air Jordan model corresponding to that day. The black and green sneakers have popped up across Instagram, as the lucky Air Jordan enthusiasts who received their pairs have been eager to show them off (and it looks like Jordan Brand unknowingly selected one user to receive two pairs). Now that the pairs are out there, it will be a test of will power to see who ends up keeping these one of a kind sneakers in their personal collection and who ends up taking the “other” route to cash out, although the 1-of-1 factor might be to tough to let go! Check out most of the Air Jordan “XX8 Days of Flight” pairs that have been doled out right after the jump and tell us in the comments which pair is your favorite.

Nate Robinsons Air Jordan Customs by Mache

Nate Robinson‘s shoe game for the 2012-2013 NBA Season might be enough to garner him some MVP votes for #NBAFeet 2013, but only if he brought in these customs by Mache into the mix sooner, he might be the favorite to win. Mache Customs’ latest NBA client is none other than Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson, who has provided a serious spark for the Chi-Town Bulls in place of the injured Derrick Rose, and as the Bulls approach the Playoffs without their star guard, Nate Robinson will rotate these remixed Bulls colorways on the Air Jordan VI, XIII, and XI. We have individual shots of each below so check them out and let us know which of the four you like best!

History of Air Jordan Retro Cards

History of Air Jordan Retro Cards

The deep stories and events that shadow every Air Jordan in history is what made the Retro such a booming success, and as far back as 1994, Nike made sure that we were reminded of the message behind each design. Since the first Air Jordan Retros in 1994 during MJ’s first retirement to all OG and Retro colorways that hit stores in the late 90′s and 2000′s, a tw0-sided post-card detailing a brief history of the shoe as well as an iconic flashback image of the times came included with the shoes; these cards have been referred to as Retro Cards, and while some may have not given them much though, some sneaker collectors did their best to gather them all. With the Air Jordan Retro Card making a surprising come-back with the upcoming Air Jordan VIII Retros and the possibility of more Retro Cards with future Retro releases, it’s about time we took a look back at every single Retro Card that Nike ever put out – from the first ones in 1994, to the latest ones that came accompanied with a Doernbecher release. Enjoy this throwback piece below and let us know which you’re missing from your set!

Chris Paul’s Sneaker Room

Chris Pauls Sneaker Room

There’s no doubt that Jordan Brand athlete Chris Paul’s sneaker rotation is on point. Whatever he wants, he’s got, and with the Clippers point guard being a bit more on the sharing side with his on-feet heat these days, we’ve been wondering just how deep his closet it. We’re finally given just a taste of Chris Paul’s sneaker closet courtesy of his wife Jada, who took this photo and informs us this s “only a portion” of what he’s really got. Air Jordan Retros galore, plus a slew of unreleased Air Jordan IV colorways like the recently seen Purple PEs and the Grey joints, but looks like CP3′s got a golf swing based on the TW ’13 sitting at the very end of the table-top (note the Air Jordan XIII PE in the far left shelf). A full shot is below, so take a look and see if you can find some of your favorites.
