In June of this year we brought you a look at the Air Jordan I Retro Mid Ruff N Tuff – Quai 54, which only released abroad. Despite no stateside release, many sneakerheads showed the AJ I a lot of love because of things such as the laser print on the inner lining. Well, there is now a preview shot of another Air Jordan I retro that dons laser print and is reportedly dropping in 2010. Seen here, the Air Jordan I comes in a white upper/midsole with a laser pattern on the mid panel, black suede on the heel, red suede near the ankle lining, and red patent leather where the Air Jordan wings logo is located. What are your thoughts on this possible 2010 release by team Jordan Brand of the Air Jordan I retro? Is the mix of materials used on the silhouette a positive or negative in your mind? Let us know what you’re thinking after the jump.

We here at SneakerFiles kicked off September by bringing our readers word of an online History of Flight database that you can check out on the Jumpman23 website. A similar project is now on display at New York City’s famous NikeTown location where every Air Jordan- except for the still unreleased AJ2010- that is a part of Michael Jordan’s signature series (AJ I through AJ2009) is shown in a white/red/sunset colorway that has not been seen before, although it is bound to remind many of us of the white/fire red – sunset – dark cinder women’s Air Jordan V retroed three years ago. For those of you who either won’t have a chance to visit the store or don’t sense that they would ever get tired of the eye candy, check us out after the jump for pictures of this collection that have now surfaced on the internet. Which, if any, of the Air Jordan sneakers on display at NikeTown would you most want Jordan Brand to release?

In July we informed you of a brown Air Jordan L’Style high releasing at some point in November. With no official release day in November set, we now have word that this ginger/dark cinder Air Jordan L’Style One has arrived at select Air Jordan retailers including House of Hoops locations nationwide. To that extent, you should definitely start finding these at other select Air Jordan retailers around you- if you haven’t already. Jordan Brand prides itself on making the L’Style One both functional and stylish, having drawn inspiration from his airness’ passion for motorsports. This pair sports a rich brown leather upper with perforated Air Jordan wings logo on the sides of the shoe. A set of straps also allows for added support, while bringing a newer look to the Air Jordan brand. Just remember, these men’s shoes retail for $134.99. For how many of you would this Air Jordan product be a viable alternative given the right situation/event? Let us know what your thoughts are after the jump, where you can also catch more pictures of the ginger/dark cinder Air Jordan L’Style One.

Ever since early July, we knew of team Jordan Brand’s intentions to release at least two colorways of the Air Jordan Fusion XIII. And although it was not initially expected to release alongside the Air Jordan XII “Rising Sun,” that is exactly what will happen this Saturday November 21, 2009 with the white/black-varsity red pair of the Air Jordan Fusion XIII. If you’re among the polarized and vehement supporters of this Air Jordan Fusion XIII, or at least shopping for someone who is, youth sizes retail at $94.99, while men’s sizes will retail for $144.99. Knowing also that this pair of “Jordans,” although more specifically an AJ Fusion, sports the Nike Air logo on the heel as opposed to the JB jumpman, is this a pair of Air Jordan fusions you’d consider copping?
