Air Jordan I (1) Retro - Hare Detailed Look
30 March 2009
With the first clear picture of the “Hare” Air Jordan I (1) being showcased yesterday, we are now proud to present a detailed look at one of this years best Air Jordan releases. Inspired by the Air Jordan VII (7) - Hare, this pair yields a clean colorway composed of a white and light graphite upper along with a red inner lining, tongue, stitching, and Jordan Wings logo on the ankle. Aside from the colors on this pair, the most interesting aspects include an image of Bugs Bunny on the tongue rather than the typical Jumpman logo as well as the word “Hare” written on the rear. With the unique colors and graphics utilized on this sneaker, the “Hare” AJ1 is most definitely one of the better releases we have seen from Jordan Brand in a while. The Air Jordan I (1) Retro - Hare is set to drop on April 11, 2009 for a retail price of $120. Be sure to check out the detailed pictures after the ‘jump.’

Air Jordan I (1) Low - Prom Pack
30 March 2009
Let’s go back in time (or forward if you’re still in school) to your high school Senior Prom. You go out to rent your tux, and you pick up something pretty clean. They give you the shoe box, and you open it up to find out your rented shoes either look extremely cheap or have been pre-worn. Well, that’s where this pack comes into play. The Air Jordan I (1) Low Prom Pack is one of the most interesting sets to release in a while. Both pairs are featured in patent leather, just like most traditional tuxedo shoes. Even the shoe laces are those of tuxedo shoes. To finish the shoes off, the holes on the toebox are removed for a more authentic look. Be on the lookout for these to release April 18th.
Air Jordan XI (11) Player Exclusive - Ray Allen
22 March 2009
On opening night of the NBA season, Ray Allen suited up against the Cleveland Cavalier wearing a Player Exclusive Air Jordan XI (11) similar to the one seen here. Both feature a white and gold design to match the Boston Celtics jersey, but for the PE Allen wore the other night against the San Antonio Spurs, it is composed of less green than the opening night model and sports an icy sole. From the looks of it, there is no green on the Air Jordan XI and only consists of a white base with gold trim. For a closer look at Ray Allen’s Player Exclusive Air Jordan XI, check the jump.
