Remember the alternate “Black Bottom” version of the Air Jordan IX “Photo Blue” that was produced last year as a factory mistake? It looks like that pair will be trotted out for a retail release after all. The move is sort of reminiscent of the “Banned” Air Jordan 1 fiasco, wherein a b-grade labeled sneaker that would otherwise just be destroyed is let loose upon the masses. Also exciting is the price-point: the Air Jordan IX “Black Bottom” will hit for just $130. Continue reading to see some images of this out-of-nowhere release of the Air Jordan IX “Black Bottom”, releasing on May 9th at 7PM EST exclusively at Nikestore via Twitter link only.

Apologies to the Air Jordan V, but 2013 might be stolen away by the Air Jordan IV thanks to the big-ticket Retro releases planned for the year. Aside from the “Fire Red Nubuck” that has been causing a stir, this “Green Glow” version has been getting the attention of our readers due to the Grey-based colorway and Glow-in-the-dark outsole. No confirmed release date for the Air Jordan IV “Green Glow” has been set, although a Fall 2013 seasonal drop is in the works, so check out the new photos below and see what the asking price for this sample pair is fromdopekicks45 on eBay.

Penny Hardaway’s 1997 OG ‘Dark Neon Royal’ Nike Air Foamposite One is a truly iconic colorway. So this new style pictured above has some huge shoes to fill, but it’s off to a good start. The ‘Sport Royal’ Foamposite One steps outside the classic formula but stops short of going for a graphic treatment, utilizing a Wolf Grey eyestay/tongue/lining setup that really draws your eye to the namesake blue upper. It’s a sign that we’ve really only scratched the surface of what’s possible with the original Foamposite shoe, and you can get a closer look at this September 2013 release in more photos after the jump.
