Retros of "Black Infrared" Air Jordan 6s have been more frequent than many colorways, releasing in a 2010 "Infrared Pack" and again as a  standalone release in 2014 , however neither of those iterations featured the Nike Air details.  The Air Jordan 6 OG "Black Infrared" has a current rumored release date of February 2019. The image above is the sneaker's 2000 retro, not what's on the way next year. UPDATE (07/06):  According to  @zsneakerheadz , the "Infrared" Air Jordan 6 with Nike Air will return for All-Star

Video Of Phor From Black Ink Crew Chicago Showing His A$$ and D*ck Surfaces Online

Image
Phor Brumfield is now the star of a leaked cell phone video featuring the Black Ink Crew Chicago cast member in all his full-frontal glory. The full Phor video leaked a couple of weeks *after* Black Ink Chicago’s season finale, so we’re not yet sure whether the clip is meant to draw attention to an off-season project Phor’s got going on. It's also not certain the leak of the clip is supposed to be revenge of some kind. Phor did spend most of Black Ink Crew Season 4 fighting with his girlfriend Nikki who revealed on the show that Phor had cheated and was sending out videos of himself. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if they bring it up on the next season.
