Yesterday a few more pictures of the Air Jordan XI (11) Spacejam samples surfaced. Today, Marqueesole brings us additional detailed and up close photos of the actual production version, allowing us to see what may be the best Jordan Brand release of 2009. Subtle differences can be seen as the Jumpman on the left shoe is facing rearwards while the Jumpman on the right shoe is facing towards the front. Also, the Jumpman seen through the translucent sole is Royal Blue as well. Despite minor differences these shoes speak for themselves and all we can do is wait for the November 27th release date.

Chris Paul’s released a rather stunning pair of Air Jordan CP. 3 II in White/Black/Blue with interesting oriental details and patterns that is sadly, a China exclusive. The Air Jordan CP.3 II has a white forefoot leather upper contrasted with a black rear panel. Blue stitchings accent the white leather upper and matches the bright blue outsoles and lining. On the heel panel, CP3 II’s signature swirly heel are done up in gold and blue with characters for Chinese calendar years running up the heel to the ankle. The logo on tongue features a similarly intricate swirl of oriental patterns in the same gold and blue hues. These shoes may never make it to the U.S, so check out the pictures to satisfy your kicks needs for the time being. via: niketalk

Slated for a November release, these detailed shots of the Air Jordan I (1) High Strap Black/Orion-Blue Nylon promise to be one of the better Air Jordan I releases this fall. This Air Jordan I features a complete black upper with varying nylon textures, which are also included on the removable strap. To accent the depth of the black upper this Air Jordan I also features an Orion Blue midsole, Jumpman, and strap. Lastly, gold lace tips complete what may be one of the better Jordan I releases this year. Expect to see these on shelves at most Jordan retailers on November 1st for $110.00 USD.

I’ll be the first to admit that I was disappointed when news of the Air Jordan Hallowed Ground hybrids broke a few months ago. Taking elements from two of my favorite J’s (IX and X), the shoe should have sat well with me, but something just wasn’t right. Perhaps it was the subtly of the Air Jordan X inspired soles under the overpoweringly dark upper, a component far too valuable to be left to a second glace. That issue was helped when the White/Black/Red colorway showed up –  a definite improvement, but I still felt a sense of wasted potential. Finally, with pictures of a White/Deep Blue colorway surfacing, I feel like the shoe has been done justice. Nostalgia, common place amongst us Jordan fans, took over as I was reminded of the pair of Ice Blue Air Jordan X that I had adored so much. Not to mention that with the majority of the color found in the upper, the elements of the Air Jordan IX incorporated into the design are really brought out. With a well placed colorway, this model has gone from dropped to copped in my books. No word on a release date yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

2009 brings an official comeback for the Air Jordan 12, with pairs like the Nubuck and Rising Sun, many will enjoy the original Black and Red colorway, also known as the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game. The Black/Red Air Jordan 12 are nicknamed the Flu Game due to Michael Jordan having a stomach flu during game 5. Despite being severely sick, Jordan scored 38 points against the Utah Jazz. 12 Years later, Jordan Brand will once again release the black and red color scheme, but with subtle changes. For example, the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game will feature the year (97) and the points scored (38), and a cartoon sick face on the tongue. An exact release date has not been issued, but will hit retailers in November 2009.

The wait is almost over for the release of the Air Jordan Force Fusion IV in the black/varsity red-stealth colorway. The classic is revamped to combine two iconic shoes into one. This shoe is truly a force, with its black suede upper and Air Force 1 sole. The upper is almost identical to the Air Jordan IV, except that the upper is more of a black suede than black nubuck. Watch out for its release on August 29th online and in store.
