An Official Look at the 'Banned' Jordan Air Ship Retro Michael Jordan's original banned sneakers may be released soon.

-

Nike and Jordan Brand's decision to finally embrace the true history of Michael Jordan's NBA-banned sneakers affords the company another chance to cash in on the industry's greatest legacy. This year marks the long-awaited return of the Nike Air Ship, Jordan's original rookie year game shoe and the actual shoe he was threatened with fines for wearing in a black and red colorway—not the Air Jordan 1 as marketed by Nike for more than three decades.

Previously confirmed by Italian retailer Back-Door Bottega, the "Banned" Air Ship is on its way to retail this month. The retro features unique true-to-the-original elements like PE style 'Air Jordan' lettering on the heel, along with some new details such as a rumored React cushioning update. The shoe is also being called the Jordan Air Ship by some leaker accounts, which could indicate that Nike is shifting the entire legacy of the model to Jordan Brand.

While Back-Door Bottega's in-store raffle has already been rolled out, plans to release the shoe stateside have not officially been announced. However, official images have hit the server—typically a sign that a release is imminent. We'll keep you posted on when to expect that drop in the days and weeks ahead.

R. Kelly is locked up thanks to the release of a new sex tape which shows him years ago having sex with another 14 year old girl. The tape is very graphic and you without a doubt can see it is R. Kelly performing sexual acts on the girl. Defense lawyer Michael Avenatti spoke about the investigation. Avenatti is representing six people in the investigation, including two alleged victims, two parents, and two “whistleblowers.” Avenatti addressed the tape, explaining, “The tape was shot in the late ‘90s, approximately 1999, it depicts two separate scenes shot on two separate days within Mr. Kelly’s residence at the time. The audio on the tape, you can clearly listen to it — it is clear — the video is far superior to the video that was used in connection to the 2008 trial. It is an entirely different video.” He added, “It is also clear from other things that are depicted on the video that this is in no way role-playing during some sexual act,” he said. “It is clear that this young l...

CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS)  - A  violent weekend  capped off Chicago's bloodiest week of the year. From April 30 through May 6, 10 people were killed and 73 others were wounded in gun violence across Chicago. This latest outbreak of violence underscores how gunmen are literally getting away with crimes up to and including murder. Overwhelmed police detectives have 155 currently active investigations of 2018 homicides, while "solving" or "clearing" 27 cases, barely 17 percent.  The clearance rate has dropped steadily in recent years, leaving thousands of murders in the last decade unsolved and thousands of killers still on the street. Chicago Police used to solve more than 60 percent of murders, back in the 1990s. New York City cops still do. But the number of CPD detectives has been cut since then.  As Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepares to run for re-election, he'll swear in 100 new detectives later this month a...
