Air Jordan XII | Taxi

The Air Jordan XII "Taxi" (130690-125) has been on the radar for many blog followers and writers. The last time we had this model was in 2008 and it was part of the Collezione Package. The original pair released in November of 1996 and was inspired by the Japanese Nisshōki flag and women's dress boots. The Taxi utilizes a tumbled white leather and black pebbled leather mudguard. I assume that these are going to sell quickly, so grab coffee and a bite and endure the cold bright and early. You know where to go, Foot Locker or Momentum.

Air Jordan V | Laney

The Jordan V "Laney" (136027-189) has been on a lot of  sneaker enthusiast's calendars since the rumour of its release. Thankfully it is true, the Laney will drop November 2, 2013. Releasing only once before, the colours and name come from Michael Jordan's high school Emsley A. Laney High School. This white tumbled leather upper sits on top of a blue and yellow midsole. Damn these look clean! You will be able to find these at Foot Locker and Momentum.

Air Jordan V | 3Lab5

The "3Lab5" Jordan V has finally reached its way to Canada ( 599581-007). I imagine that you have seen this on the internet or some sort of social media outlet. The Jordan brand decided to take the elephant print from the Jordan III and give to the V for this special project. The entire upper is an elephant print and is combined with a black and gamma blue midsole. No doubt that it's crazy but it may be worth you getting your hands on them to have a one of a kind shoe. The American release had a quick turnover for many retailers, and Ebay with a bunch of $350 shoes up for grabs.

Air Jordan V | Bel Air

After a two weeks worth of phone calls, Tweets and Instagram messages we are happy to announce that the Bel Air V's arrived (621958-090). If you were a fan of Will Smith's sitcom, you may remember that he wore the Grapes, Fire Reds and other models laceless. This is Nike's tribute to the show. Both pairs have different colours but are influenced by the show's colours. But damn, these shoes have been running through my mind all day! These will be available at stores like Momentum.

Air Jordan V | Fire Red

The Jordan V "Fire Red" will be releasing this Saturday (August 31, 2013) in Canada. This here is my favourite Jordan silhouette, accompanied by one of my favourite colour ways. I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of these! The full grain upper, black tongue and midsole have really sold the shoe to me. I remember back in 2006 when I wanted these. These will be available at Foot Locker and Momentum on 8th Street for about $200.

Yours Truly

Air Jordan 1 | Shadow

The second Air Jordan model to come out this Saturday is the "Shadow" 1. A black and grey upper rests comfortably on this high (not mid top) silhouette. This model looks good on ballers and regular people alike. These will be priced around $140 and will most likely be found at Foot Locker and Momentum on 8th. If these look anything like they do in this photo, I plan on grabbing a pair for myself too.

Air Jordan IV | Toro

July 13, 2013, the "Toro" IV is one of two Air Jordan's that will be dropping this Saturday. This is a new colour way and I am sure it will be a banger. Based on photos, this shoe looks great. For about $200 you can grab this at your local Air Jordan retailer.

Yours Truly

Air Jordan V | Aqua

This Saturday (June 15, 2013) is the release of the Jordan V "Aqua" or "Black Grape". This is the first release of this colour way on this silhouette. A black nubuck sits on the "Grape" midsole and makes quite the combination. These will be for sale at about $200 and will once again be found at retailers such as Foot Locker and Momentum.

Yours Truly

Air Jordan 1 | Black Toe

This sneaker will bring back memories for athletes and sneakerheads alike. This Saturday, the "Black Toe" Jordan 1 will be for sale at select retailers. This model hasn't been seen since the "Old Love/New Love" pack which offered a mid-top version of this sneaker. Sitting around $140 makes it a much better price than the $2,500 1985 version!

TRYSA for Jordan | Grapes

To create a bit more buzz around the Jordan V release this weekend, the french artist and graphic designer illustrates a famous quote from Michael Jordan. It's pretty neat, I personally wish I could draw a nice cement print with my own hands.

Air Jordan V | Grapes

This Saturday (May 5, 2013), the Grape V's will release in select Saskatoon retailers. These came just in time for Spring and will make a nice Summer shoe but an even better street ball shoe at your neighbourhood court. The Jordan V is my favourite from the collection of the 23 options and this colour always stands out, not to mention the icey sole. Your best bet is Foot Locker and Momentum.

Air Jordan III | Retro '88

Tomorrow morning the Air Jordan III will hit a couple of stores in the city. The US already had this release last month and it was a huge success for the Jordan brand which leads us to the Canadian drop. The shoes will be priced more than most pairs for the main reason that the "Nike Air" sits on the heel rather than the Jumpman, this hasn't been done since 1988 (hence the name). Through blogs and websites, I will tell you that many people are not planning on sleeping on these, I assume that there will at least be a few people waiting at midnight Saturday in the cold. Momentum on 8th Street will be receiving these and possibly Foot Locker in Midtown Plaza as well. Best of luck!

Air Jordan XIII | He Got Game

On March 16, 2013, "The He Got Game" XIII releases. The name comes from Spike Lee's movie "He Got Game". These will most likely be for sale at Foot Locker and Momentum for around $199.

Air Jordan 1 | Varsity Royal

This is a big release for the month. If people act on their words, a lot of people plan on spending their disposable income on a pair or two of the Royal 1's. This year, Air Jordan has managed to revive the Jordan 1's with the high model. I have seen these in person and they look just as good as they do in this photo. You can find these at Foot Locker or Momentum on February 16, 2013.

Air Jordan V | "Fire Red"

If you are like me, you might make the common mistake of thinking that there is only one Fire Red V. But both release this year so you are able to choose which one you like more or just grab both of them. This is my favourite silhouette of all of the Jordan's. So this Saturday, January 26, 2012, these will release at locations such as Footlocker or Momentum.

Air Jordan XIII | Black Cat

This Saturday is the release of the Black Cat or Bred XIII. The upper consists of a black mesh and leather and red nubuck.  The holographic panther eye jewel features the Jumpman and the number 23. You will be able to find these at Foot Locker and Momentum.

Air Jordan 1 | Chicago

It has been over 25 years since the shoe was last released. Rather than seeing the Jordan 1 Phat, shoe gurus are blessed with something more similar to the original. It will be released this weekend on January 5, 2013. Like usual, you will be able to find them at Footlocker and Momentum. Last year and this year has been very hectic, so choose wisely on which pairs of Jordan's to cop this year!

Yours Truly

Air Jordan IV | Thunder

It has been confirmed that these are coming to Canada. If we are lucky enough to see them in Saskatoon, Foot Locker and Momentum will have them on December 22, 2012. These were originally produced back in 2006, making them nearly impossible to purchase (unless you have over $1000 to splurge).

Yours Truly

Air Jordan XI | Playoffs

This sneaker is known as the Playoffs and as the Bred. Jordan has been crazy with their releases and the next year will be the exact same. The Breds is another successful attempt of making sneaker heads spend money and fight for shoes. I can already say it's a success based on the long awaited hype and quality of these photos. These are expected to release on December 21, 2012. You will be able to purchase them at Footlocker and Momentum.
