Kicksnet Basketball Shoe Reviews

Released Feb. 13th! The all new Air Jordan 25 appears to live up to all of the hype. It employes several new technologies and a few favorites consistent with the Jordan Brand over the last few AJ iterations. These include a full length low profile zoom air unit, deployed in a new position – closest to the ground, right above the sole.  This should allow for a more customized fitted cushion in the footbed while still providing the impact padding and springy support we are used to.  An additional zoom-air unit is located in the heel to help with jump impact.  The unique “gimmick” of the AJ2010 is a see through circle in the upper.  It provides breathability and transparency… into your sock.  We are guessing there will be some custom socks  with the Jordan Brand Logo on the side appearing in stores.

Air Jordan brand has released several great performance shoes this year.  Keynoted by the Air Jordan 24 and punctuated with the addition of several throwbacks and built for style mix and match across the years conglomeration shoes, the Jordan Brand has successfully played to the booming streetwear only market.  We often see the streetwear shoes on the court, but understandably the technology and performance harkens back to the previous era when these shoes were popular. 

Below are the Jordan Brand shoes designed for some real action.  The Jordan 09 is a great all around performer and except for its wieght issue is a solid long lasting kick with its own unique style.  Also seen below are the  Jordan Hallowed Ground which is a mix of the past shoe that actually does perform, the Jordan Element – a next generation of Air Jordan, the Jordan CP3, Jordan Ol’ School III, the Melo M6, the Air Jordan DMP 7, the Jordan Schoolin, Jordan Dentro, Jumpman Elite, Jordan 2.5 Team Shoe and finally the Jordan Flight 45.  You could also play in the Jordan 6 rings… however my personal experience with the sole cushioning was poor enought the first time around that I’ll forgo adding it to this list

Jordan Brand has made an effort in the Team Shoe category by offering multiple colorways in the Jordan Team Shoe, and with the Jumpman Elite, Melo M6 and finally the Jordan Ol School.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro has released in a number of fresh colorways this year including the “Blue Sapphire” and the 60+ Pack. However, JB shows no signs of letting up as we have now spotted the Air Jordan 1 Retro lineup for the rest of 2009. The multiple colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Phat Premier highlight this upcoming lineup. After the jump, you will see this shoe in two solid colorways along with other color schemes that pay tribute to the teams MJ scored 60 or more points on. In addition, two sleek, eye-catching colorways of the Air Jordan 1 High as well.

Being the most anticipated sneaker of the year, the Jordan XI “Space Jam” is a must for every heads closet.  Worn by Michael Jordan in the 1996 film “Space Jam” – will be re-released later this year. The black on black Jordan 11 has been one of the holy grails of sneaker collectors for 14 years, and still remains relevant today. Not only did Jordan wear these on the silver screen, but also during the 1995-96 NBA Season where he won the championship and was crowned MVP.  In stores November 27th, 2009.

As one of the very first Jordan Brand hybrids, the initial launch of the Air Jordan Spiz’ike led to some mixed feelings from both sneaker fans and Jordan enthusiasts as like.

Upcoming is the release of a classic black/red colorway of the Spiz’ike as previewed here. Set for an early 2010 launch, the shoes are avaialable now at OSneaker.com and Eastbay

Air Jordan 23 Review…

I believe that the 23 is the pinnacle of Jordan mens basketball shoes. These have the absolute latest tech available. Jordan Brand has put a lot of thought and work into the XX3, more so than any other, since Michael Jordan was a player with the Chicago Bulls in the NBA finals.
