Custom sneakers usually come from Nike. Such as Dunks or Air Force 1s. But here we see a custom that is something out of the ordinary. Custom Air Jordans are hardly seen, i have maybe seen a couple since paying attention to sneakers. The only way a designer would customize a pair of Jordans is if it was inspired after a global icon that is known by millions. Well this Custom Air Jordan XII is certainly honoring a icon, and is know by millions beyond any doubt. These weren’t made for Jay-z, but were inspired after him. Sneaker customizer Intrxn is the mind behind this monument. This design was to be kept a secret, but thanks to Sneakerobsession.com, we have a look at this beauty. Check out what the designer, Intrxn, had to say about his masterpiece. Major props to Intrxn.

In the words of Intrxn:

Elvis “You Get Out of Life What You Put In

Elvis T. from Chicago contracted me to work on a very special Jordan. The rule was that I was to do something I have never done before. The Jordan 12 release date correlates to Jay-Z’s 1997 distribution deal with Def Jam Records. Following the death of Notorious B.I.G. he worked with P. Diddy to produce “In My Lifetime” and the record “Reasonable Doubt.” If you get a chance to catch these shoes in person you can notice the detail that acknowledges inspiration from Elvis himself, Jay-Z, Biggie, and Alexander McQueen. The conceptual approach includes undertones regarding these men’s work ethic and the theme, “Man or Machine.” As far as colorway, the shoe was created to match Elvis’ shirt and vest. He divulged that his fashion sense is all about making statements in a clean and classy manner. If I had one word to describe the work I did for him it would be “sculpture.” Everyone who is attending the Jay-Z concert on Thursday March 18th keep an eye out for Elvis in the double stretch black Hummer!

Laser etched quotes are:

Jay-Z “In My Lifetime”

Biggie “It Was All a Dream”

AMQ “We are the Fashion World’s Incubator”

All the Air Jordan Collezione Countdown Packs made sneakerheads all over the world crazy, but good crazy. Everyone just had to get there hands on every pack . Many people when counting down the days until the next package released. I mean they were counting down the minutes. If you bought more than one package what did you do with them? Sell them to make a few extra bucks? Well some other people took something else into mind. How about a giant clock? Check out this enormous clock which uses the Air Jordan I-XII, all of which were part of the Air Jordan Collezione Countdown Packs. This fantastic piece of art is displayed at Opium in Barcelona, Spain. So if you happen to be in Barcelona, go check it out and let us know what it looks like in person. Via Sneakernews.com

So far, we have seen two pairs of the Air Jordan Accolades. The first pair came in white with a laser design, while the other pair featured cement grey details. Well the next Air Jordan Accolades comes in a Black/Red colorway. Like the first pair, these also feature laser detailing as it is seen on the uppers. Other than the dominant black, red accents are placed on the Air Jordan branding. All of the laser details have something to do with Michael Jordans career. The outsole used on the Air Jordan Accolades is the exact same sole used on the Air Jordan X. Im not really into team Jordans, but i can surely make a exception for these. There is no word on the release yet, so stay tuned for updates. But for now check out more pics.

With this year being Jordan Brands 25th Anniversary, we have heard many rumors of possible releases. Lately, Jordan Brand has confirmed a lot of rumors, including the “Flint” 13s. Well now, Jordan Brand has confirmed a total of six pairs that were previously rumors. All six of those are some major heat, and are sure to be a huge hit. The pair that is getting the most attention is the Air Jordan VII Bordeaux, which originally released in 1991. They have never retroed before, so these would be a true retro. Another huge pair is the Air Jordan XI “Cool Grey”, which is one of the best 11s we have seen. Of those six pairs, five of them are expected to retail for $150. The “Cool Grey” 11s are expected to retail for $175. Check out all the pairs in the pics after the jump.

Im not a big fan of Spiz’ikes, but this has to be one of my favorites Spiz’ikes ever released. The colorway is crazy, the design is dope, and its a pair of Air Jordans!. Im convinced, how about you? Here we have detailed images of the next Air Jordan Spiz’ike. The official colorway of this sneaker is classified as Black/Varsity Red/Stealth. Or you can also call them “Breds”. The shoes are exactly what you see. Most of the sneaker comes in glossy black patent leather, while red accents are seen throughout the shoe. Grey is used on the outsole, heel, and other areas of the sneaker. I cant remember the last time where the materials of a sneaker will break more necks than the colors. Check out more detailed images after the jump.

During his long stint in the NBA, Eddie Jones always wore some fresh Air Jordans. He was a great player for a while, but his age slowed him down a bit. Here we see a pair of Vs that was given to Eddie Jones as a Player Exclusive. During that time, Jones was playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. The sneaker comes in the Grizzlies Away colors. This colorway looks identical to the color scheme used on the Nubuck 12s. Black nubuck covers the entire upper, while University Blue accents are seen on the midsole, tongue, and heel. Eddie Jones  number, 6, is placed towards the heel. Like all other Vs, the shoe is finished off with a clear icy outsole. The colorway is pretty simple but the fact that its a PE, makes it nice no matter what.

Player Exclusives aren’t really a big deal throughout the sneaker community. We see them so much now, that no one real trips over them anymore. Well here we see a pair of Player Exclusives that is sure to send some sneakerheads on a hunt. These Air Jordan XIIIs were given to the Kansas Jayhawks mens basketball team during the 2004-2005 season. I know these were given a while ago, but i just had to show these off. Other than the rareness of the sneaker, it features a sick colorway! The uppers are covered with clean white leather, while red is seen on areas such as the midsole and heel. Blue is used on the outsole and the Jumpman on the tongue. “JAYHAWKS” is written across the tongue in red and blue. This sneaker is so good, that it makes me look down on the other 13s. These have been put up on eBay, but for a hefty price tag. Click here for the auction. Via Undergroundsoles

Spiz’ike’s have a lot of mixed feeling among sneakerheads. Some people like them, some people don’t. Well this next pair of Spiz’ike’s might change a lot of sneakerheads opinions, and bring them to the fresh side of things. This latest Air Jordan Spiz’ike comes in a Black/Varsity Red/Stealth colorway. You can also call these “Breds” because of the black and red used on these.

The upper of this shoe is made of glossy black patent leather. Detailed laser engravings make the shoe pop, and are seen on the top and heel. Red jumps right onto the Mars logo, Jumpman, inner lining, and the original lacelocks. A print that reads “Yes Mars”, is placed on the inner lining. Also placed on the inner lining are Mars signature glasses. The spectacular design is finished off with a grey outsole. There is not official release date yet, but Marqueesole has a few pairs early.

A couple of days ago we heard a rumor surrounding a possible 2010 release of the Air Jordan XIII “Flint”. The second these surfaced many sneakerheads went crazy just thinking about the possible release. Well i am proud to announce that the release of these “Flint” 13s is now confirmed. The release date is for sometime in November, so there is no exact release date yet. The picture you see isn’t the pair that is set to release this year, These are the 2005 retros. But have no worries, most likely they are going to be identical. So now that you have a confirmed release, go crazy and start planning ahead of time. And let us know if these are on your cop list

The Air Jordan VI has been talked about a lot in the short three months this year. In January, Jordan Brand released the Black/Varsity VIs. And now were hearing of a possible Air Jordan VI Retro “Infrared” Pack, which could be one of the best packs Jordan Brand has to offer. Well one pair of 6s that was long lost in all the speculation of other pairs rumors is this White/Varsity Red pair. When the “Infrared” Pack surfaced many people couldn’t understand why Jordan Brand would release the pack because the Black/Varsity VIs released about a two months ago. Well it looks like Jordan Brand is doing the same with the White/Varsity Red VIs, which is a beautiful no matter what. So if you can’t get you hands on the “Infrared” Pack this summer, this would be a great replacement. But for now check out detailed pictures of yet another pair of VIs.
