When you hear Air Jordan the first sneaker that may come to your mind is the Air Jordan I. Here we get a look at the Air Jordan Alpha I in a black and varsity red colorway, first colorway released for the Air Jordan I OG. You might be a fan of the changes or you may not, the decision is yours, but from afar you can’t really notice any changes.
Looking closely you can notice the changes that has taken place. The first thing you can notice is the dotted design that they’ve used mostly on the side-panels and the toe box. We aren’t really feeling that but we do like what they have done with the midsole and outsole. Everything else is pretty much the same, such as the wings located on the heel and the Nike Swoosh which is placed right on the side-panel. The sneaker will be available December 23rd at Kinetics.

This is something we haven’t seen inawhile so it’s like a breath of fresh air for sneaker heads.
At first glance you can see Jordan Brand has used the Air Jordan III True Blue colorway, a smart choice from them as the True Blue colorway is one of the sought out colorways till this date. You can already see the Air Jordan III tribute as you look at the mid-sole which includes the infamous elephant print, along with the enlarged Jumpman logo placed on the heel. We’ve been told the sneaker will be releasing in the Summer of 2010, but we have no official release date as of yet. A nice way to kick off the 2010 Summer if you ask me, what do you guys think?
