This Air Jordan Retro Low IE Sample in White/Orange Blaze/Light Bone was produced in 2007 but never hit retail shelves.

By now,  most of you have probably heard about Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan XII Retro ‘Rising Sun’ release fiasco. Originally set to hit retailers yesterday, October 24th, JB announced on Friday that they were delaying the launch of the collection – footwear, apparel, and accessories included. Rumour has it that issues with the ‘Rising Sun’ insole are the main reason for delay, but we’ll have to wait and see what changes are made in the new version to be sure. The new scheduled release date for the model is November 21st, leaving those of you who were fortunate enough to grab a pair before the recall with a solid month of exclusive ownership.

Celebrities and sneakers always mix, because money and sneakers always mix. That’s why it’s no surprise that Drizzy Drake surfaced a picture of himself for us to envy. The Canadian rapper has got himself a pair of Air Jordan VIII Sugar Ray Player Exclusives. These were very hard to get, as a very limited run was produced. No doubt that Drake dropped a lot of dough to get these, or it could be that his celeb status got him some free heat. Whatever the case, Drake has the Air Jordan VIIIs in the black/stealth-clover colorway, and a piece of Ray Allen history.
