Air Jordan Alpha 1 “Tinker Hatfiled”
Earlier this month we saw the release of the Air Jordan Alpha 1 “Bred”, and yesterday we provided you with some information regarding the release of the Air Jordan Alpha 1 “Christmas Day” which were Ray Allen’s PE’s during his Christmas Day game. If neither of those two catch your attention here’s a look at yet another Air Jordan Alpha 1, a Quickstrike release no less.
This particular version is known as the Tinker Hatfield edition due to the fact Tinker himself picked out the color template for the sneakers. For his version of the Alpha 1 Tinker went with a Birch leather upper, a Black leather Nike Swoosh, a Black mid-sole and Black Air Jordan Brand along the ankle and heel. Accenting the sneakers Tinker applied some hits of Orange to the lining and mid-sole stitching. Lastly he threw in a translucent outsole and called it day.
There’s a little bit of a dispute over whether or not there’s an official release since this is a Quickstrike release. Some say they will hit select retailers on February 20th. Others say the 15th. Whatever it may be what we can tell you for a defiant is that you can get em now through West in NYC or on eBay or through some of the resale sites. So hit em up now if your interested or contact your local Jordan Brand retailer to find out whether or not they’ll be getting them.
Air Jordan Alpha 1 “Christmas Day”
As what may seem like a late release comes the AIr Jordan Alpha 1 “Christmas Day”. If you recall back in December we originally featured these sneakers after they appeared on the feet of Ray Allen during a Christmas Day game. At the time the sneakers weren’t expected to be released but for those who wanted to get a pair we got some good news for you, they’re being released after all!!
The sneakers are said to be arriving at House of Hoops retailers this week and are available now and ready to ship through eBay and OSneaker. This Christmas-esque Air Jordan 1 Alpha features a flat black upper with perforated detailing added to the mid-panels, toe-box and tongue. Green comes into the mix on the inner lining and outsole with red seen on the Nike Swoosh, Jordan branding on the ankle and heel, and on the included laces. There’s also a pair of black insoles with “The First To Bring Color To The Game” printed on the left insoles and “Thank You” printed on the right insole, both in red. The same phrases appear on the insoles of the Black/Varsity Red Air Jordan Alpha 1.
If you like get em now before they’re gone and you regret not copping a pair. Click here if you need to take another look before you make up your mind.
Air Jordan Fusion 8 (GS) – Black/Vivid Pink/Flint Grey
The first of the Air Jordan Fusion 8 colorways will officially be hitting distributors in just about a week on February 6th, 2010. Until then we’re got a couple images of a GS version of the Air Jordan Fusion 8 in a color scheme which we have yet to see on the Fusion VIII. For this particular AJF8 Jordan Brand with black/vivid pink colorway which is obviously marketed towards the young ladies out there. The upper sports a black nubuck base with flint grey featured on the mid-sole and vivid pink on the inner lining, branding and outsole.
I’m not quite sure when exactly they will be arriving in store at Jordan Brand distributors but CitySole supplied us with a few images of the sneakers so if your interested hit up your local JB retailers to check on the availability in your area.
Windowless Air Jordan 2010
Carter from Kenlu always comes through with images of some of the most exclusive samples we’ve seen. Living up to that statement he’s provided us all with some shots of this windowless Air Jordan 2010. The window on the Air Jordan 2010 has been the topic of discussion among Jordan heads in circles throughout the world. From the sounds of it and what we see being said on the forums and blogs majority of the people out there straight up hate the window on the side of the Air Jordan 2010 and have said they would much rather have the sneakers without the window.
If your able to agree with that you’ll defiantly want to take a look at this Air Jordan 2010 sample. Apparently during the design phase Jordan Brand teetered around with a windowless model. The style of the sneakers remains exactly the same, however the translucent window which appears on the release ready model has been replaced with a panels featuring the Jumpman logo and the newly design 23 logo. Since a lot of you have said you would prefer the sneakers without the window and have wondered what they would look like without it, there no need to longer wonder, just click here to take a closer look.
How you’d like your Air Jordan 2010’s, with or without a window?
Air Jordan 2010 “W3LCOME HOME”
MarqueeSole has added to their webstore this brand new Air Jordan 2010 dubbed “W3LCOME HOME”. The sneakers are seen featuring a combination of leathers with white perforated leather on the mid-panel, red leather on the toe and heel, and some hits of red patent leather thrown in as well. Black is added to the branding on the tongue as well as to the mid-sole and inner lining with an added hit of red on the outsole. Finishing up the sneakers and bringing together their nickname is a pair of insoles with W3LCOME printed on one and HOME printed on the other.
Inspiration behind the sneakers is believed to have been found by Dwayne Wade signing with Jordan Brand a couple months ago, hence the “e” in welcome being replaced with a 3, and the red/white/black colorway which could easily be mistaken for a Miami Heat color scheme. Could Jordan Brand and MJ also be throwing D.Wade some hints that they’d like to see him sporting a Chicago Bulls jersey next year?

Air Jordan Retro 2 – White/Metallic Silver/3M – Release Date Change
And the release date changes begin for 2010. For some reason or another Jordan Brand has pushed back the release of the Air Jordan II (2) – White/Metallic Silver/3M. The sneakers were expected to hit select Jordan Brand retailers this coming weekend but now the sneakers are listed for a February 27th release. The sneakers have been floating around on resale sites and were released overseas already so some of you already got your hands on a pair early. You may have even picked up one of the few that we’re listed for sale on eBay. If you don’t have a pair and you were hoping to get em in a few days we’re sad to say your gonna have to wait it out a little longer.
