In Retrospect: Air Jordan 1 AJKO

Posted: 26 Mar 2011 01:13 PM PDT

AJKO

Over the past couple of years, we have witnessed a multitude of Air Jordan 1 releases. To some, this model has been seen way too much. However, the vintage-laced Air Jordan 1 AJKO was a different story last March. If you recall, Nike had plans of releasing the Air Jordan 1 AJKO about 20 years ago, but it never made it to the public. Therefore, sneaker enthusiasts, both young and old, flocked to retailers in hopes of snagging these shoes. The Air Jordan 1 AJKO, which features a stained sole, the Jordan Wings logo and the age-old Nike swoosh, came in white/varsity red and white/black-varsity red last March.

Did you purchase the Air Jordan 1 AJKOs, and was it worth the $125 you paid for it ? If not, are you wishing you would have snagged this shoe last March? Lastly, was this one of your favorite releases of 2010? Let us know your thoughts on the Air Jordan 1 AJKO in the comment section below!

Video: Michael Jordan’s Seven Best Games in the Air Jordan 7

Posted: 26 Mar 2011 12:58 PM PDT

Today, Jordan Brand released the “Orion Blue” Air Jordan 7, one of many Air Jordan 7s set to release this year. To coincide with this highly-anticipated drop, we gave you a rundown of Michael Jordan's Seven Best Games in the Air Jordan 7 in which dominated competition in colorways such as the “Raptors”, “Cardinals”, “Bordeauxs” and “Olympics”. Let’s face it; Jordan was simply an artist on the court. It seemed as if he was moving at a different speed than everybody else. If you didn’t take the time to look through all of the YouTube links, we have a better, shortened version of what His Airness did in the 7s. Take a look at our exclusive Michael Jordan's Seven Best Games in the Air Jordan 7 video

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Clearly the heat this week has the team thinking about summer. From Lunar runners to nautical Newbies, the squad was feeling a number of low top kicks. Of course, an early exit for the Horns didn’t stop one writer from showing love to his alma mater, either. Which was your favorite from the past seven days? Let us know in the comments section.

Nike Air Pegasus '92 Lineup

The running category is Charlie Sheen #winning whether it’s lightweight running, maximum impact cushioning, or retro. Nike has given us many (maybe too many) of the Air Max retros, but there are plenty of great runners sitting the vault with no visible air that are equally as hot.

Glad to see that not only did Nike unearth such an awesome shoe from the long running (no pun) Pegasus line, but brought them out with justice dressing them in great colors, materials, and non-mall distribution. Give me both.
