  Now that the year is coming to an end, sneaker leakers are beginning to tease more  Jordan Brand  releases in the pipeline for 2024. After learning about the return of the  "Columbia" Air Jordan 11,  it appears that the "Black Cat" Air Jordan 3 is also coming back in late 2024. News of the purported "Black Cat" Air Jordan 3 retro was initially revealed by trusted leakers  Sneaker Files  and  @zSneakerheadz  on Instagram, but sources with knowledge of the brand’s upcoming drops have also confirmed this to One Dope Ass Blogger. The "Black Cat" Air Jordan 3 was originally released in June 2007, and the style hasn't seen the light of day since then. The sneaker wore an all-black color scheme as a nod to Michael Jordan's "Black Cat" nickname, including the nubuck upper and signature elephant print panels on the heel and toe. The standout element of the style was the black patent leather at the midfoot. There are no leaked images of...

  New kicks are one of the best gifts that any sneaker fan can receive for Christmas. One young sneakerhead recently got to unwrap something even more special though—a custom Air Jordan inspired by his own drawing of the shoe. Sneaker customizer Niko Barber, aka  Neeks Custom Sneaks , took to Instagram yesterday to show off the one-of-a-kind Air Jordan 1 made for a young sneakerhead. In the post, the artist shared the inspiration behind the custom Jordan 1 design, which was a drawing by a young fan requesting Santa Claus to turn the image into a real pair of shoes. The customizer also shared a video of the kid unwrapping his custom Air Jordan 1s on Instagram, where he's filled with joy upon realizing what he received for Christmas. "I am beyond honored to share a special moment that brought joy to both me and a young boy this holiday season! Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to customize a pair of sneakers for a boy who had a heartfelt wish for them to be delivered by...

  Few people have done more for Nike’s Air Force 1 model than Nelly, whose 2002 hit  “Air Force Ones”  helped mainstream audiences understand the appeal of hip-hop’s favorite sneaker. Nelly’s relationship with Nike went both ways—he was never a regular Nike collaborator, but the brand did design a handful of shoes for him in the early 2000s. There was a Nelly “Air Derrty” version of the  Air Max 2 CB 94’  from 2003, numbered to just 1,000 pairs, in red and blue patent leather. There were also a couple of promo-only Air Force 1s tied to  Nellyville , his 2002 album that spawned the single “Air Force Ones.” One of those Air Force 1s, a relatively plain white colorway with black  Nellyville  script, has made the rounds for years—Lil Yachty showed off a pair during a 2021  tour of his sneaker collection  with Complex. Another, a white sample pair from 2002 with an icy midsole and blue outsole, is being shown in public for the first time as p...
