Air Jordan 1 ‘Hare’ - Release Update

Its been almost 4 months since news broke up the upcoming Air Jordan 1 ‘Hare’ Retro. Just like many other things we were starting to guess the news was nothing but rumors that would never come true. However, posted up on the Extra Butter blog, were some new detailed images including info about an official release date.
The Air Jordan 1 Hare is basically a mock up of the original Air Jordan VII Hare which inspired this design. You have the same use of colors and materials, which look great on the Air Jordan 1. You also have the ‘Hare Jordan’ Jumpman logo on the tongue and the original Jumpman logo on the heel as usual. Watch for these to officially hit select Jordan retailers on April 11th.

Fire Red Jordan Spizike @ House of Hoops


Fire Red Jordan Spizike
Once the news broke about the price for the online release of the Fire Red Spiz’ike, we knew the sales were going to be terrible. $295 for the kicks and a messenger bag was out of the question for many. They sat on Jumpman23 for a while, and then Jordan Brand sent shipments to Europe & Asia. Shortly after that, the Fire Red Spiz’ikes hit the US at select JB accounts.
We just found out that it’s more Fire Red Spiz’ikes on the way. House of Hoops by FootLocker will release them again this Saturday, March 21st.
