True Air Jordan fanatics will recall that on the jumpan23 website there was the opportunity to take a historical look back at all Nike Air Jordan signature series sneakers with snippets of information regarding such things as original release dates and certain accomplishments His Airness achieved while lacing up his different basketball shoes. Now, Nike has unveiled the latest, updated version of said project: the Nike Air Jordan History of Flight online look-book. With news of Michael Jordan’s selection into the basketball Hall of Fame came a number of well-deserved tributes. This one is no different.

This online look-book highlights the Air Jordan I that started it all in 1985, the Air Jordan 2009 that released just this year, and EVERYTHING in between. The site acts as an online, interactive pop-up book that contains other graphics usually associated with a specific Air Jordan. You can run the cursor over the shoe itself or over one of the surrounding graphics to learn something you may not have known, or recall a special moment in history that may very well have resonated with you. And in that lies the beauty of this commemorative project: the fact that it’ll conjure up nostalgic memories as well as impart pertinent knowledge to the Air Jordan fan hoping to learn even more than what he/she might already be aware of.

But there’s also something to be said about the particular colorway of the Air Jordans pictured on the site. Earlier this summer Chris Paul treated us to an exclusive photo of an array of Air Jordans in all white colorways via his Twitter page. Those exact Jordans we were given a sneak peek of are the ones used on the site- which is sure to make Jordan heads like myself straight-up giddy over even the possibility of being able to cop an all-white AJ VI, XIII, XVI or ELEVEN. Only time will tell if any of our all-white wishes will come true and manifest themselves into actual releases. But for now, we can keep busy by testing/expanding our Air Jordan knowledge while salivating over the colorway in front of us.

Naturally, we here at SneakerFiles kept you in the know in regards to the Air Jordan Hall of Fame Pack releasing this weekend. But what better way to start off the new month with a double dose of good news? To that extent, this historical collection made up of an Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 2009, and Air Jordan 6ix Rings is available early- as in now. But that’s not it. Some of you will also be glad to hear that each shoe can be found online for even less than what each Jordan shoe is slated to retail for. So you can tune in after the jump for more pix as well as one such source that can provide one, two, or all three sneakers in this Hall of Fame Pack now and at a reduced price at UTA.

Though a plethora of colorways of the Air Jordan Spizike have already released, Jordan Brand plans to release a new black based style in the coming months. This pair, which was originally previewed back in June and then again recently, hosts a black upper with stealth and varsity red accents. A key component of this Air Jordan Spizike is the cement print found on the wings, midsole, toecap, and heel. Overall, this sneaker yields the typical “Bred” Air Jordan colorway that utilizes black and varsity red. Unfortunately, there is no concrete release information regarding this pair, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.

Taking influence from the Air Jordan XII (12) and the Air Jordan Fusion 12, this Air Jordan Flight 45 comes in a black/varsity red-white colorway. It uses the same black nubuck upper as the AJF 12, showcasing the iconic stitching on the side panel. The black is offset by the classic white toe. Adding its own touch, the Flight 45 has a black nubuck strap with a grey panel. Of course, the Jordan symbols are stitched in varsity red to keep to the classic theme. This shoe will release in December for $120.

Those who are fortunate enough to own the Infrared Air Jordan 6 (VI) know how fresh it is to lace up their pair. Images of the 2010 ‘Infrareds’ have just surfaced, and most will be surprised at how clean the sneakers look. The shoes are highlighted by Chicago Bulls colors, and most clearly, an icey sole. The Infrared Jordan release date is still unknown, but rumored to be in 2010. The Air Jordan Spacejam release has been marked on most calendars for the holiday season, there is a chance that the Infrared 6 will drop in time for the 2009 holiday season as well. Brand Jordan has a tendency to release Black/Red colorways close to Christmas; with the most recent example being the 2008 Air Jordan 11/12 countdown pack, which originally scheduled to release after the holiday. Read on to view more pictures.
