Yesterday marked a great day for Jordanheads as we saw the re-release of five pairs, YES FIVE PAIRS of retro J's. Yesterday saw the re-release of two Air Jordan 1 KO's which have not seen the light since their original release back in 1985. JB released the White/Black-Varsity Red and White/Varsity Red colourways of this iconic shoe.

In addition to the AJKO's which released, JB also released three pairs of J's; AJ III, AJ IV and AJ IX. These three pairs were part of this year's 25th Anniversary collection which all sport the White and Silver colourways. Did you hit up your local shops yesterday to cop any of these five?

If you didn't get a chance to cop any of them and still want to pick up a pair in the Toronto area, visit Livestock or Capsule to have them hook you up!

July. Footlocker. That is all.

Early last month we posted some details surrounding the much anticipated Star Wars collabo with Adidas.

In the last month a number of those releases have dropped and a few local shops like Livestock have already started to sell these kicks. With all the hype and love surrounding this collabo, there is still one model which has yet to drop, the "Yoda" boats. Scheduled to drop sometime shortly we here @ e n t e r s p a c e... have a first look at this crazy shoe.

Be sure to stop by your local shop to pick these up when they release cause these are just crazy!

Enjoy!

the company with 3-stripes has been putting out some pretty kicks as of late, including the Star Wars collabo and the Toronto Consortium series. They recently dropped the Highrise which are a hi-top sneaker with an all-white sole. The dual-strap mechanism definitely sets these apart from most hi-top, strap kicks as does the four (White, Black, Red & Gray) clean colourways. Word has it these will drop in January 2010, but if you know anyone in the UK, France, the Netherland and of course Germany, they are available at shop.adidas.com

You know there ain't no other shop that puts down a display as hard as the boys over at Stolen Riches! In anticipation for the upcoming release of the "Space Jams", Stolen Riches has put up a serious display of the fan favourite AJ XI. Peep the crazy display over @ the Stolen Riches Blog.

If you haven't already secured your pair of "Space Jams" like FRZA said earlier today give the boys a shout over @ Stolen Riches to inquire bout the drop scheduled for the 23rd. Christmas is coming early!

Will YOU be coppin?

k i c k s t a r t m o n d a y s: Hello it’s the Martian...

It is December 14th and we are almost a mere week away from the re-release of one of this year’s most anticipated shoe drops. If the excerpt above from Drake’s “Forever” (featuring Yeezy, Weezy and Marshall) didn’t already make it obvious, please know that we are talking about the Air Jordan XI Space Jams.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield the original XI’s offered a Nylon upper meant to be reminiscent of a hiker’s backpack. A carbon fiber plate running through the sole was incorporated to provide rigidity and support. Performance innovations aside, the patent leather mid and toe box seemed included just to make the shoes pop. The patent however, offered a light weight alternative to genuine and tended not to stretch even in the face of quick changes in direction needed to blow past defenders.

Jordan wore the XI’s during the 1995-96 season – a record year where the Bulls posted the best regular season in NBA history (72-10) before defeating the Sonics in the finals. Jordan himself won a record fourth Finals MVP award and was also named regular season and all-star game MVP.

Air Jordan XI’s in the black, white and royal blue colourway first showed up on the big screen in the 1996 Warner Bros. movie, “Space Jam”. Michael wore the shoes to help Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tune characters win their freedom in an intergalactic basketball game against the alien Monstars. The shoes were eventually released in December 2000 under the “Space Jam” name to commemorate the film. Nine years later Jordan Brand is re-releasing the shoe with a small set of deviations from the original (see "Don't Sleep" from November 27th, 2009) along with a few extras in the box to sweeten the deal. If you put down the almost $250.00 (total – CAD) you should be thoroughly impressed with the entire package even though rumours warn that the actual shoe construction quality is somewhat below that of its predecessor.

I put my preorder in a few months ago and fear if you haven’t already done the same you may be S.O.L. The drop date has been reset many times from the original November 27th date but it looks like the fat cats at JB have finally settled on December 23rd. Thanks to Jordan Brand we have one more reason to call the last half of December the most wonderful time of the year…
