We’ve been giving lots of attention to the Air Jordan XI IE Low in White/Black lately, but we still show love for the OG-style Retro. The Black/White-Varsity Red colorway is on it’s way in the classic all black upper, white midsole and red Jumpman and inner sock liner. To stray away slightly from the OG is the tinted black outsole. I guess that’s a good thing to have to prevent any yellowing. These release next month, but if you want to beat the rush, they are available for pre-order at Citysole.

Last month we gave you an updated preview of the Air Jordan I Alpha Spring 2010 collection. Today, we get a detailed look at one of the pairs, as it has come early in Japan. The Air Jordan I (1) Alpha, which sports the timeless black/varsity red-white colorway, combines style with performance. The bred colorway gets a revamped outsole, printed insole, and new back heel Jordan symbol to really make this a modern pair of jays. If you’re digging these bad boys, then you can get ‘em online for $186 overseas.

Now I know what you’re thinking: “FAKE!” But no. These Air Jordan XI’s are in fact real samples. The Air Jordan XI (11) Low comes in a black/red (bred) colorway, which is owned by Ceola Clark, a friend of Jeffrey Jordan, MJ’s son. These jays were given to Ceola from Jeff and Michael as a gift. Yes, be jealous, because this sort of stuff actually happens. The Lows follow the bred design just like its retailed predecessor, with a black patent leather and mesh upper, red inner lining, white midsole, and red translucent outsole. If you absolutely need to get your hands on these babies, then go find Ceola at Western Illinois University, where you can challenge him to 1-on-1 for them. Check out the video of Ceola, as he is interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, as part of the dedicated editorial for Hall-of-Famer MJ.

The last time we saw the Air Jordan Spizike in the bred colorway, it wasn’t too clear to see in detail. This time, Osneaker gives us a closer and clearer look at the classic-inspired Air Jordan Spizike in black/varsity red-cement. The bred colorway, made famous by the Air Jordan IV (4), returns on this black nubuck based shoe. It carries speckled grey panels, with red and black accents on the outsole and midsole. The black elephant print adds a sleek touch to the shoe, making this a guaranteed must buy. It’s available for pre-order for $250 in a full size run, and comes out February 27, 2010.

The Air Jordan “Sixty Plus” packs will certainly be the answer Jordan Brand has for sneakerheads wanting some original (OG) colorways rather than the Fusions and Hybrids we have been seeing as of late. This Air Jordan pack consists of two pairs of the Air Jordan I (1), the sneaker Michael Jordan wore in 1986 when he scored an NBA playoffs record of 63 pts against the Celtics. The second pair of this pack is obviously inspred by the aforementioned game with the Boston Celtics while the first pair sports the famous black and red color scheme we are used to seeing from Jordan Brand. The Air Jordan Retro I (1) – Sixty Plus Pack is set to drop in July of 2009. The trend of releasing two pairs of sneakers together for not too high a price will obviously continue throughout 2009 and we will certainly keep you updated on colorways and release dates so make sure to stay tuned.

Jordan Brand began releasing fusions in 2008 and it is becoming quite obvious that they will continue their newest trend throughout this new year. The latest product of this “love it or hate it” Force Fusion line is the Air Jordan Force Fusion IV which merges characteristics of the Air Jordan 4 with the classic body and midsole of the Air Force 1. This pair is inspired by the AJ4 and any fan of the Jordan numbered line will quickly realize the resemblance. Featuring wings, netting, a shoe lace region, and a back heel tab reminiscent of the Air Jordan IV, this pair will will hit home with the AF1 fans through the use of the classic toebox and midsole which includes Nike’s patented clear air bubble. Another key aspect of this sneaker which we have not seen before is the placement of a Nike Swoosh behind the netting on the upper.

After the jump, you can check out larger pictures of three colorways of the Air Jordan Force Fusion IV which are all derived from popular Air Jordan IV colorways. The first of these colorways comes from the Fire Red Air Jordan IV and features a white upper with red and black accents. The second is inspired by the Military AJ4 and yields a white upper with blue accents and a cream midsole. The third and final colorway takes inspiration from the “Bred” Air Jordan 4 and comes with a black base accented by a partially red outsole and a grey midsole. Please remember that none of these colorways are confirmed by Jordan Brand, but the odds of these releasing in the upcoming months are high. From what we hear, these will be begin releasing in early July of 2009, but be sure to stay tuned for updates. Via NT.

With two colorways of the Air Jordan Force Fusion VI (6) releasing, many have overlooked the Air Jordan Quatro Q4 which is also set to drop tomorrow. The inspiration of this model is obvious to most sneakerheads due to their knowledge of the Air Jordan numbered line. There is no doubt that this pair takes characteristics from the Air Jordan IV (4) and Jordan Brand has even gone to the extent of releasing a colorway very similar to that of the ever popular “Bred” AJ4. This black and red color scheme is famous for its appearance on the Chicago Bulls’ jerseys that Michael Jordan wore when he captured all six of his championship rings and has been featured on numerous sneakers since. The Air Jordan Quatro Q4 – Black/Varsity Red-Stealth is set to drop tomorrow, January 10, 2009, for a retail price of $98.
