SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

words by Steve Jaconetta

The time is here, and to what a pleasant suprise! Usually we do not get this info until Octoberish if we are lucky. Well, the wait is finally over. Nike.Com has officially updated their Jordan Brand launch dates up to the end of December. You all know what this means.

The official colorways and launch date for the highly anticipated Jordan XI/XII Countdown Package is set in store. Get your calendars, drum roll please….December 26th. Also for all the speculation of what colorways will be in this pack, here’s the official word. The XI will be black/true red-white (not the Space Jam or Space Jam w/a red Jumpman), and the XII will be black/varsity red-cement grey (not the white/red or taxi). Suprised? You and me both.

Now i’ll give you a second to pickup your jaws….Ok time’s up. The three colorways everyone’s been waiting to here the release of is confirmed as well. The black/varsity royal-white (Motorsports to some) is going to be released on November 28th (you guessed it, Black Friday). As if that’s not enough, the black/varsity red-white and black/university blue-white colorways are releasing the same day! Better start saving your pennies now, that will be one expensive day.

Other shoes being released to round out 2008 will be: Six Rings, AJF20, Melo M5, and many many more. Here is the list of dates below. Also, for the most updated info on all these releases stay tuned to our official thread in the forums as well as our Release Dates section.
