AJ1 Hi blue-sapphire
To compliment the blue accents on the AJ1 Velcro Premiums, these retro Jordan 1 Highs are almost entirely blue-sapphire. Hitting all three House of Hoops stores the same day, 3/14, swing by and pick up a pair to add to your retro collection. Majority of the shoe is covered in an eye-popping blue-sapphire nylon, with a white midsole to break up the blue connection to the outsole. These are completely different from previous AJ1 Hi releases, thanks to the beautiful color and uncommon nylon material, so make sure to cop. Check out additional shots after the jump.
AJ1 Velcro Premium Low jetstream/blue
Jordan 1’s are hot in every style and colorway, even if they’re rockin’ Velcro straps. These jetstream/blue premium lows are dropping 3/14 at all three House of Hoops locations. Most shoes can’t pull off Velcro straps without laces, but that’s definitely not the case with these. The upper and toebox are predominantly a jetstream color, appearing as metallic leather, with blue-sapphire accents such as the logos found on the toebox and heel. Overall, they’re simple but the unique straps and metallic appearance make them a must have. More store shots below.
SuperSonics Pack Release Reminder
The SuperSonics edition is the second to last championship series pack to hit select Foot Lockers, Footactions and all three House of Hoops stores tomorrow, 3/14. Each pack represents Jordan’s greatest NBA memories as a Chicago Bull, so make sure to pick up as many as possible. If you happen to miss out on the first four packs, no worries… the last pack, Utah Jazz, is dropping next weekend, 3/28. Each consists of both home and away colorways of the AJ1 Phat Low, with a compliment of a Jordan Six Rings. Check out the gallery for individual shots from each edition.
Jordan CP3.III “Mardis Gras” Christmas Eve Release
If you can’t wait for the January 2nd release of the white/black/varsity red and black/orion blue/white CP3.III, then you are in luck with this Christmas Eve release at House of Hoops.
This CP3.III “Mardis Gras” will hit in white/sun stone/varsity purple, a festive mix but not one you’re used to seeing on your kicks. You may be thinking “these aren’t Hornets colors, this isn’t a standard normal black/red or white/blue blocking,” but this CP3.III is displaying traditional colors of the Mardis Gras festival (purple and gold) which ties back to Chris Paul’s NBA squad based in New Orleans. The multi-colored speckling on the purple midsole even recalls confetti you might see in a parade down Bourbon Street.
Other signature details include the lasered “CP” coat of arms with fleur-de-lis on the upper, and the honeycomb pattern of the herringbone outsole referencing the Hornets. The honeycomb appears again in the pattern of perforations on the lining of the tongue. For more shots, and a wallpaper of the intricate “CP” coat of arms check the Gallery.
Jordan Hallowed Ground “Oak Hill Academy” at House of Hoops in November
Lately we’ve been revealing some of the Hallowed Ground PE’s, including the Rip Hamilton we showed you last week. The Rip and this “Oak Hill” edition both hit House of Hoops in November. The Oak Hill edition pays respects to Jordan Brand’s Carmelo Anthony who attended Oak Hill Academy, a high school basketball superpower located in Virginia. Notable baller alumni include Melo, Rajon Rondo, Jerry Stackhouse and Brandon Jennings to name a few.
The shoe has a black suede upper hilighted by varsity red contrast stitching, that sits on top of a red to black gradient midsole. Gold hilights include the Jumpman on the lateral upper and outsole, Oak Hill stitched in the tongue, and 23 stitched below the laces. The sock liner also displays a Warrior (Oak Hill’s mascot) dribbling a basketball. For more shots check the Gallery.
Jordan CP3.III at Foot Locker and House of Hoops 1/02/10
Chris Paul’s latest signature shoe rings in the new year, arriving at Foot Locker and House of Hoops locations Saturday, January 2nd. It is pictured here in Hornets black/orion blue/white, with more colors to come.
The top of the upper is black suede, with a layer of etched coat-of-arms just below it complete with interlocked “C” and “P” and fleur-de-lis, the French symbol you see all over New Orleans gear (think Saints’ helmet).
The remainder of the upper is white leather with black contrast stitching, giving way to a black midsole with white speckling. The outsole has one of the most interesting herringbone layouts I have seen, arranging the standard zig-zag patterns around clusters of hexagons that recall the honeycomb pattern of a hornets nest, another subtle reference to CP3’s team. For more shots, and a wallpaper of this outsole check the Gallery.
