During halftime of Super Bowl XLVIII Usher took the stage for his highly anticipated performance. The singer ran through a medley of his biggest hits with a bevy of wardrobe changes for each section. For the last, a tribute to his hometown of Atlanta, Usher donned a sparkly Tron-inspired Off-White suit and a special pair of sneakers for the occasion.
On his feet was a noticeably chromed-out pair of Air Jordan 4s produced by noted customizer Dominic "The Surgeon" Ciambrone. Complex Sneakers is told that the chromed-out Jordans began as a collaborative concept developed between Usher and the team at Jordan Brand. Then, logistical issues prevented the shoes from behind created and delivered in time, leaving Usher to phone in a favor from Ciambrone.
Jordan Brand will collaborate with Nike SB on an Air Jordan 4 that’s scheduled to release in March 2023, a sneaker industry source tells Complex. News of the collaboration was first reported by Nice Kicks on Monday. According to Nice Kicks, the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 will have a heel tab bearing the Nike SB logo instead of the Nike Air or Jumpman logos. A source tells Complex that the SB-style Air Jordan 4 will be retooled for skateboarding.

There are no signs of Air Jordan 1 releases slowing down as Jordan Brand reportedly has another pair on the way—this time a new women’s exclusive version. According to @zSneakerheadz, there’s a “Denim” iteration of the model dropping in June. Given its far-out release date, a first look at the style has yet to surface but the mockup depiction from the trusted leaker account suggests that it will feature an OG-styled blocking with white leather at the base of the upper while blue denim covers the overlay panels. The shoe is also rumored to feature a special gold dubrae at the forefoot. This isn’t the first time that the Air Jordan 1 donned denim as the model was released in the “Family First” iteration in 2014 as well as a low-top “Washed Denim” colorway in 2020. There was even a Levi’s collaboration back in 2008. There’s no official sneaker release date available yet for this women’s exclusive...
It looks like the forthcoming “Reverse Mocha” Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low won’t be the only sneaker collab on the horizon for the Houston rapper and Jordan Brand. Fans will reportedly also have the opportunity to cop a “Black/Phantom” iteration of the collaborative sneaker in December, according to @zSneakerheadz on Instagram. At the time of writing, there is no leaked imagery of the collab, but a mock-up photo shared by the leaker account shows that the forthcoming Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low will feature black-based upper, grey overlay panels, and sail hits on the reverse Swoosh and midsole. Standard Cactus Jack branding is expected to be embroidered on the tongue while the face logo appears on the heel. Per @zSneakerheadz, the “Black/Phantom” Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low is rumored to drop on Dec. 15, but official release details have yet to be announced by either of the parties in...
