The Air Jordan XV (Released:2001 Price:$160) Jordan Brand, much like MJ himself, went through transitions in careers, and with the AJ XVI was born. Debuted on Michael Jordan’s birthday, February 17th, the release shows Michael Jordan transition into his role as a part owner and the president of basketball operations with the Washington Wizards, meanwhile at Jordan Brand, Wilson Smith III moved into the role of lead designer for the Air Jordan XVI. Air Jordan XVI "Bred" (Release 2001) Smith drew inspiration from marching boots, high-performance automobiles, and architecture when designing the model. Bringing classic ques from older models back like the sock-lick lining from the Air Jordan VII, the patent leather toe box from the Air Jordan XI, and a shroud lace covering as on the Air Jordan VIII however these were removable. The shoe returned to the visible Air-Sole cushioning and the frosty (translucent) outsole that was featured on Air Jordans V, VI and XI. Four colorways of the AJ XVI were released in 2001, Black/Red, White/Navy, Black/Black and a White/Red low version which was the only color release that replaced the lace cover with a roll down mid liner. This was yet another sneaker MJ would not wear on court, yet he did wear them for a Jordan Brand ad in 2001, in a suit. Air Jordan XVI Low (Release 2001) Air Jordan XVI & Air Jordan VII CDP (Release 2008) Air Jordan XVI "Midnight Navy" (Release 2014) Air Jordan XVII "Midnight Navy" (Release 2016) Air Jordan XVI "Trohy Room" DJ Khaled & Marcus Jordan (Release 2016) The Air Jordan XVI hasn’t been seen in stores since 2001 when it first debuted, the “Midnight Navy” changed all of that when releasing back in 2014 and then a quick upgraded return in 2016. 2014 first time since its original release, (the CDP release back in 2008 paired the XVI and VII) would be released as a retro, then Jordan Brand stepping it up 2 years after. The model is a known favorite by the GOAT's son himself, Marcus Jordan, who made an exclusive release collaboration with his store Trophy Room which pays homage to his father's career with clothing, sneakers, art and more. Rumors of an upcoming "C.E.O." colorway in 2020 may make a change on how the community feels about the Air Jordan XVI.   Air Jordan XVI "C.E.O." (Release 2020)

The Air Jordan XV (Released:1999 Price:$150) Nike released the shoe after Jordan announced his retirement on Jan. 13, 1999 prior to the beginning of the lockout-shortened season. Tinker Hatfield was faced with the challenge of designing a shoe that MJ would never wear on the court. The design of the XV's originated from the aircraft prototype X-15, which was developed by NASA during the 1960s. The sleek upper V-shaped cutting designs were to showcase Mj's playing style on the court. The Air Jordan XV also featured a full Zoom Air for low-profile cushioning for ideal court play. The heel counter featured numbers significant to MJ's career: 23.6.15., 23 represented his jersey number, the number of titles he won, which was 6, and the shoe model, Air Jordan XV. The clean extension from the heel counter to the outsole also read 2.17, Jordan's birthday. Reggie Miller was the first NBA superstar to wear them during the 2000 NBA Finals, an homage to MJ. The original model was released in four colorways in 1999-2000, Flint Grey/White, Black/Red, Obsidian/White and White/Carolina Blue. The shoe was retro-ed in 2007, 2008, and 2016–2017. Reggie Miller wearing his PE Air Jordan XV during 2000 NBA Finals Air Jordan XV "Flint Grey" (Release 2000) Air Jordan XV Obsidian (Release 2000) Air Jordan XV "Carolina" (Release 2000) Air Jordan XV "Stealth" (Released Nov. 15, 2007) One of the most iconic retro colorway of the release is the Air Jordan XV "Stealth." This model was done up in the original black “Stealth” colorway, which is very fitting for a sneaker designed after a sleek fighter jet. The weave hides the speed lacing system and the entire leather uppers are black, while the midsole is a dark grey. Air Jordan CDP VIII and Air Jordan CDP XV (Released 2008) In 2008 Jordan Brand was ready to launch its long-awaited Air Jordan XX3 model, the model that represented the G.O.A.T.'s world known jersey number. Jordan Brand gave fans an opportunity to relive the entire history of the Air Jordan line by re-releasing each previous model, however with a incredible twist. The shoes were paired off into groups of two models that added up to '23.' For example, with the first of the pack's release in January, the Air Jordan 10 and 13 models were boxed up in two original colorways that hadn't yet been retroed. The CDP release of the Air Jordan VIII & XV was Countdown Pack #10. Air Jordan XV "Navy Midnight" (Released Jan. 7, 2017) Bringing it back to life with this never before released colorway, the Air Jordan XV was given another go in the sneaker community and the reception of it has been the same it has always received, "Eh." A clean summertime model and design makes it hard to save this release many feel is very "bulky" and "weird." With the continual movement on trends do you think this bulky basketball mid-design will ever fit in?

2020 The Comeback Year Of Nike Sb Releases Nike SB Dunk Low x Travis Scott The sneaker world has shown Nike SB lots of love in the early 2000's, however the love somehow faded into distant memories of the "Mork & Mindy, Dino Jr. and Three Bears" releases. 2020 seems to want "that ol' thing back" with Nike releasing numerous hype releases for the Nike SB dunk model. Earlier in the year Nike releases a Nike SB x Travis Scott collaboration which birthed the Travis Scott Nike SB Low release which seems to have triggered this love again. Check out these hype releases that have been incorporated into the 2020 "year of the SBs."

Air Jordan 1 x Union LA (Released 2018) Jordan Brand has had their share of collaborations over the years from many brands, big or small. It all started in 2005 and has continued to gather more and more traction to which some collaborations shoot up into the thousands. Many of the releases from Jordan Brand and other companies were some of the hardest releases to ever obtain, to a sneakerhead, that's half the fun. Here I have some of our personal favorites and some real game-changers that started the whole "Grails" world. Air Jordan 4 x Undefeated (Released 2005) Here we have Jordan Brands 1st collaboration from a brand that showed its roots into the community, UNDEFEATED. The Cali based brand got their hands on the Jordan 4 model with creative directs back in 2005 and the rest is history. The army green color with orange accents was a fan favorite and began the rage of "collabs." Air Jordan 1 & 4 x Travis Scott (Released 2020) JACKBOYZ ON THE MOVE! The popularity of Jordans have made it globally and of course their collaborations would reflect that. This collaboration with the global phenom known as Travis Scott is the most hype releases of 2020. Jordan 1, 4, 6, and rumored 3 models all have the "Cactus Jack" treatment and are wanted by everyone. Air Jordan 4 x KAWS (Released 2017) This collaboration with Brian Donnelly, known to all by KAWS, had to most extravagant release we feel which involves events and museums in reference to KAWS influence on the Art world. Released in two different colors, black and grey, this release is considered a true grail now and we fully agree. Air Jordan 2 x Just Don C (Released 2017) Air Jordan 4 x Off-White (Released 2020) Here we have a more frequent style of collaborations between Jordan brand and brands, the "Independent Designers." Major known designers in the streetwear community, Virgil Abloh and Don C have very iconic releases with Jordan Brand. The 2 models above showcase the growth of independent designers and how their work can lead to more opportunities, being Virgil's mainstream success to lead to him connecting a deal with Louis Vuitton.  Air Jordan 12 x PSNY (Released 2017) Collaborating with big and small brands is key to reaching new customers and clientele. Public School (PSNY) is an American fashion brand based in NYC, founded in 2008 and has one of the cleanest collaboration with Jordan Brand. The Jordan 12 model was a perfect choice for a clean and hype design from NY. Air Jordan 4 x Union LA (Released 2020) West coast love started this all and its only right they keep the torch burning. Union LA is clearly as it sounds, a brand based in L.A. and since the success of an earlier collaboration with Jordan Brand and the Jordan 1 model, why not do it again to the Jordan 4. If it ain't broke don't fix it right? Air Jordan 1,2,3,4,6 x Doernbecher (Released 2007-2011) Awareness is another way collaborations can help a community and Jordan Brand does it the right way. This collaboration involves the Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Jordan Brand every few years select one special child to pick any model they want and design the release. (Nike does this with other models of sneakers) All the earnings go back into the hospital and help the residents and staff. The correct way to use a platform for educating.  Air Jordan 5 x Supreme (Released 2015) One of the highest-end of clothing brands in the streetwear community is known around the world, Supreme. These two giants were destined to do collaborations and every time they do, its pure beauty. These Jordan 5 models got three different Supreme design treatments and all three were wanted, and still are. Air Jordan 1 x Christian Dior (Released 2020) We end this conversation with one of the craziest collaborations of all time in Jordan Brand, the "Air Dior 1." Top tier of high-end brand Christian Dior has graced the sneaker community with its pricey-est retail release which is understandable, but to get your hands on these were damn near impossible whether hi or low release. Quality is the prime focus of this collaboration and we don't blame them either. The "Air Dior 1" to us is the ultimate collaboration between a brand and Jordan Brand. Let us know your thoughts.

1985 Air Jordan Promo Card The picture that started it all! Sneakerheads all over the world know what this photo of Michael Jordan is and signifies. It is the inspiration behind the birth of the sneaker culture community; but which Air Jordan silhouette is the G.O.A.T when it comes to merging the sneaker world, with the rest of the world? Check out our insight into how "Air Jordans" have become a staple in everyday culture and fashion.  Air Jordan 3 "Tinkers" x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Game Royal" There are 2 main Air Jordan models that are more timeless than all the others in many people's eyes, the Air Jordan 1 and the Air Jordan 3. Whether you are going to the store, photo-shoot, or even the Met Gala, it seems that no matter what the ensemble is, none of these would be a bad choice. Fashion is statement in any country and these sneakers definitely add a more pronounced statement with a retro Air Jordan sneaker highlighting your outfit. Air Jordan 1 "Pine Green" The Air Jordan 1 was first produced for Michael Jordan in 1984 and was designed by Peter C. Moore. Outlawed by then-NBA Commissioner David Stern for no following the sneaker color guidelines, made the model even more popular. The Air Jordan I was originally released from 1985 to 1986, with re-releases (known as "retros"). The popularity carried with the re-releasing of Air Jordan 1 models to where they were seen everywhere on everyone, young or old. Arguably the best high cut sneaker ever... Air Jordan 1 "Pine Green" X 8and9 MFG Co. Air Jordan 3 "Chi All Star" 2020 As time passed and Jordan Brand and Nike started to release more models over time, some felt a saturation of retro number releases from Jordan, (1-23 original collection). Some models stood the test of time and moved fluidly with fashion and culture, tied at the top of the list fighting for the number 1 spot is the Air Jordan 3 model. From insane collaborations and themed colorways based off of MJ's career, the Air Jordan 3 is the "favored" best mid sneaker of all Jordan releases. Air Jordan 3 "UNC" x 8and9 MFG Co. This is an extreme amount of pressure for us to put on our readers, because this is a tough decision, both of these Jordan models are timeless. Who would have known that MJ would be responsible for making the signature sneaker that would change fashion and culture as we know it. From sweatsuit to a 3 piece suit, the Jordan 1 or Jordan 3 would be a nice accent to any choice. Let us know in the comments which silhouette you are voting for or if we left out any heavy runner ups?

Nike SB "What The Dunks"  Nike has always been an innovator in the sneaker community since day one. Integrating bright colors, imported materials, designer labels and more creative ideas is what helps Nike stand alone, however some designs work on some silhouettes better than others; at least that's how WE feel. One method that Nike has somewhat "stamped" as their most creative design is the "What The" design. This idea revolves around one of the most sought after and truly expensive Nike OG release of the design of all time, the Nike SB "What the Dunks" low dropped in 2007. The "What the" idea uses hyped releases from the same model over years and incorporates them into 1 model. The insane out the box design by James Arizumi took the world by storm with these multi colored paired Nike SBs with the left sneaker one set of colors and the right one another set of colors but all the same hype. Since this release Nike has added the "What the" design to many other lifestyle and basketball models. Here are some of our likes and dislikes from over the years. Like: Nike SB "What The" Dunks Low (Release 2007) The O.G, is definitely getting the much deserved love from us at number 1 here. This release has to many hyped release patterns involved in them, from the Staple pigeon to the elephant print toe front from the Supreme release makes these the true Nike SB Grail. Don't love these, are you really a sneakerhead?  Dislike: Nike "What the KD" 6 x Nike "What the Lebron" 11 Elite (Release 2014) It's no secret that Kevin Durant and LeBron James have had some less than appealing models over the years, for us, these are them. These 2 releases had what we feel some forced release patterns in there, but its hard to turn down a "What the" release knowing it's a hyped release. If you're looking for dope kicks to ball in though, these are definitely a have. These may be for you, we feel a little differently. Like: Nike "What The Kobe" 8 (Release 2013) R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T. Kobe had some dope inspired releases with his models from Nike. These "What the Kobe" 8 release are a grail for those who collect this signature design. Perfect with pants, shorts or even on the court, these are a must have just in general.  Mixed Feelings: Air Jordan "What the 5" (Release 2020) New and the latest member to the "What the" design would be the Air Jordan 5. This release has us under mixed reviews and we can see why. These colors on this release is a little hard on the eyes, however just knowing some major limited releases grace the upper on this release like the "Tokyo 5," "Raging Bull," and the "Bel-Air 5s." Don't know if these are a cop or what but these are definitely getting added to the "What the" collection. Leave us your thoughts on these releases and if you agree or disagree with our likes and dislikes. Like: Air Jordan "What the 4" (Release 2019) What!? Yes, even the Air Jordan 4 model wasn't safe from the "What the" trend. This release is a clean summer sneaker, the clean mixtures of colors on a white base is true sunshine flex vibes. We also have conflicting views on this release but they are Air Jordan 4s... Like: Nike Kyrie S1 Hybrid (Release 2017) Just an assortment of release colors and designs can be labeled a "what the" release since that is all it is, a clash or releases. These Kyrie S1 release has the "what the" vibe printed all over it, literally. These actually are not that bad but that's cause we are looking at these as another dope pair to ball in cause the exclusivity of finding these now, kind of tough. Like: Nike "What the MVP" LeBron X (Release 2013) LeBron James probably has the cleanest and iconic release other than the O.G. dunks. These Nike Air "What the MVP" Lebron X inspired by LeBron's fourth MVP award in 2013. The packaging that graced this memorable release made us love the sneaker even more. This release is definitely in our like pile. Like: Nike Air Max '95 "Greedy" 2.0 (Release 2020) Nike's runners are the exception to this style being played out, we wish the put the "what the" design on many more styles of runners. The Nike Air Max 95 "Greedy" 2.0 are the second installment of the design making its way to lifestyle runners. This release lays over a white leather as opposed to the dark grey suede on the Nike Air Max 95 "What the 95" release back in 2018. If you didn't already assumed we liked these alot, are you even reading along? Let us know what you guys think in the comments.

(Kobe & Gianna Bryant at the NBA All-Star Game 2016 at the Air Canada Centre on February 14, 2016 in Toronto, Ontario.) Mamba Mentality- Inspirational Kobe Bryant Quotes It has been time since the tragic loss of a true NBA and Human G.O.A.T, one Kobe Bean Bryant and his daughter Gigi Bryant have been laid to rest, yet the pain is still heavy. To the NBA fans this man was the pinnacle and full embodiment of hard work and dedication on the floor, sadly it took his untimely death for the world to see what fans saw and what fans learned more about the 18-Time All Star off the court only propelled his fan-base more. Vanessa Bryant and his 3 daughters who now bare this pain of losing a father and husband, show us the power Kobe had with his strive for greatness and to overcome all obstacles by being strong in these rough times. Since then people have began embracing parenthood more from the example Kobe showed with his exuberant love for his daughters and with his involvement in Gigi's rising basketball career; starting the #GIRLDAD, fathers who raise daughters and the strong connection they develop.  Kobe's NBA career and accolades can echo off the hardwood, but the way they translated to the world, no one would now how much the great Kobe Bryant taught.  1. “The moment you give up, is the moment you let someone else win.” This is the now infamous shot of Kobe Bryant taking a free throw against the Golden State Warriors in the Staples Center after rupturing his Achilles. This picture is a literal representation of what this quote means and understanding you are your own worst enemy when it comes to dedication, and failure is not an option. 2. “The beauty in being blessed with talent is rising above doubters to create a beautiful moment.” Here we see Kobe Bryant's sheer will to get his team motivated by attacking the rim hard (sorry Brooklyn Nets fans) regardless of who was there to stop him. Focus and drive is what Kobe Bryant knew, that's like holding a red flag in front of a bull. MOVE! 3. "Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise." The 5 Championships that Kobe Bryant achieved over his NBA career, each one was sought after and wanted equally as winning the first. Kobe was known for his "killer mentality" and the way he could take over a game instantly, and that was many other players drive as well. This player drafted out of Lower Marion High School in '96 kept the same hunger for success since he touched a basketball. That is a grind we all can learn from. 4. "Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almost." A simple quote with the most impact on many sports players. The Black Mamba knew in tough situations that there would be times for him to give it his all for winning. (Insert "give Kobe the ball joke") Kobe attacked every play and every possession like it was a title game, never took a day off in practice or games and only fueled his desire to win. So if you ever want to win something or achieve goals, then you better be ready to flip that switch and do whatever it takes to win. "Mamba Mentality!" 5. "I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant." A true statement of homage to the mentor, with indication of knowing yourself. When Kobe came in the league, his styles seemed to resemble another G.O.A.T. we NBA fans all know and idolize, Michael Jordan, the "Jumpman" himself. Kobe had stated many times he idolized, studied, and even mimicked MJ's style since he was Kobe's hero growing up, however Kobe knew he had his own style and just would sprinkle MJ's game (and demeanor) into his, making him a killer or "Black Mamba" should we say. We should take from this quote exactly the way Kobe did, its okay for us to look up to someone so stronger we want to be like them, we just can't lose ourselves in the process. We are each individually special and here for greatness. “If you really want to be great at something you have to truly care about it. If you want to be great in a particular area, you have to obsess over it.” A quote from Kobe Bryant's, The Mamba Mentality: How I Play. The drive this man had, passed on through his children show that is was coursing through his veins and he wanted to show all that dedication is the close cousin to greatness. "I want to make sure the days that I'm away from them are days that I absolutely have to be,I'd rather be with them than doing anything else." Told to a reporter for the L.A. Times, Kobe showcased the importance of family, being there for them and having them be involved in all of your achievements and hardships. Family will always be there and we all should be able to relate to that idea. "Be thankful that you've been given that gift because girls are amazing, I would have five more girls if I could. I'm a girl dad." Kobe Bryant once told ESPN reporter Elle Duncan in 2018. We all owe Kobe Bryant and his family support through this lifetime of pain. Kobe has affected us and if you feel that he has affected you as well, whether it be on or off the court, leave us comments and thoughts on this discussion. The world lost an all around G.O.A.T. R.I.P Kobe "Bean" Bryant
