Only 3 pairs of the original sample were ever made, originally created to test how different materials held up on the Air Jordan 3 build. It stayed almost entirely out of public view for years, surfacing only through occasional collector photos.

Khaki suede covers most of the upper, a clear difference from the leather builds typically seen on this model. Navy blue fills the elephant print at the toe and heel, along with matching detailing on the eyelets.

Also white handles the laces, liner, heel tab, and much of the midsole, while a navy Jumpman sits on the heel. A translucent gum outsole finishes the design underfoot.

Full family sizing is expected at launch through Nike SNKRS and select retailers, including Foot Locker, Finish Line, Shiekh, and Hibbett. Given how long this pair stayed a rumor, official images alone are already generating plenty of attention.

Air Jordan 3 “Khaki”

Samples like this rarely make the jump to actual retail. This one existed purely as a materials test. It was never intended for public release when it was first created back in 2011.

Only a handful of collectors, including DJ Khaled, were ever confirmed to own an original pair. That kind of scarcity is exactly what turned this colorway into a quiet grail among serious Jordan collectors over the years.

The 2027 version will use Jordan Brand’s current Air Jordan 3 shape rather than the older sample mold. That should matter to longtime collectors familiar with the original build. Of course newer fans who prefer the model’s more recent proportions will enjoy this look more.

Overall turning a very rare sample into a general release is pretty unusual for Jordan Brand. For collectors who’ve tracked this pair for years, June 2027 finally closes out a story that started well over a decade ago.

Black leather covers most of the upper, keeping the base clean and true to the model’s original construction. A chrome-finished strap wraps the ankle, catching light in a way that’s become the signature detail of this colorway. Grey detailing runs along the heel, paired with a matching grey midsole underfoot.

This marks the shoe’s first retro in over a decade. It originally released back in 2003 before returning briefly in 2015, a run best remembered for Kobe Bryant wearing the colorway during that year’s playoffs.

The strap itself has always been the standout feature of the Air Jordan 8, and these new images make that hardware look even sharper up close. It’s a small detail, but one that separates this model from nearly every other shoe in Jordan Brand’s lineup.

Full family sizing is expected at launch through Nike SNKRS and select retailers. With official images now out, expect more detailed looks to follow as the release date gets closer.

Air Jordan 8 “Chrome”

The “Chrome” 8 carries weight beyond just its design. Kobe famously laced up the pair during Los Angeles’s 2015 postseason run, tying the colorway directly to one of his most memorable playoff stretches.

That connection has helped keep demand high over the years, even without regular retail availability. Original pairs from both the 2003 and 2015 releases have stayed sought-after among collectors chasing anything tied to Kobe’s on-court history.

The Air Jordan 8 itself doesn’t get nearly as many retros as some of Jordan’s other numbered models. That relative scarcity makes any “Chrome” return feel like a bigger event within the sneaker community.

With official images now confirmed, this release is shaping up to be one of the more anticipated Jordan Brand drops of the fall season.

Bari posted side-by-side shots of black leather Chrome Hearts pants next to a green suede pair, both loaded with the brand’s signature cross and skull hardware. His message left no room for interpretation, telling followers not to buy anything from the account since the pieces belong to him.

A separate story showed Bari posing in a matching green Chrome Hearts fit, jacket included, captioning it as the same Chrome pants that got stolen from him. Between the fit pic and the callout, it’s clear this isn’t just a random accusation. The kicker is he’s identifying specific pieces from his own closet.

No word yet on how the pieces actually went missing or when the theft happened. Bari didn’t give a timeline in either post, just a direct warning aimed at anyone thinking about copping from that account.

A$AP Bari Fake Chrome Hearts

Chrome Hearts pieces have become a magnet for resale scams and theft given how expensive and recognizable the brand’s hardware is. Custom one-off pieces like Bari’s, loaded with personal detailing, make this callout even more pointed since they’re not exactly easy to fake.

This isn’t the first time a public figure has had to publicly flag stolen gear showing up for sale. It’s become a familiar move in streetwear circles, using social media pressure instead of waiting on any kind of formal process to play out.

For now, it’s Bari’s word against the seller, with no official response from @sacrecydallas addressing the claim. Given how fast callouts like this spread, we are expecting some kind of public response sooner than later.

Either way, this whole situation is a reminder that closet theft doesn’t discriminate, not even against someone as plugged into the streetwear world as Bari. When pieces this rare and this recognizable can still end up resold without permission, it says a lot about how loose the resale space really is.

This is the model’s first colorway, first revealed by Ye back in early August. Ballistic mesh covers the tongue, paired with textured panels across the toe and heel. Leather-style overlays wrap the eyestays and forefoot.

Also these layers of loose, gauze-like mesh give the upper a deliberately raw, unfinished look. That same rough texture continues onto portions of the midsole.

The Yeezy 800 name brings back the numbered format Ye used throughout his Adidas years, separating it from newer releases like the Yeezy BL-01. It’s shaping up to be one of the more significant releases in his independent run so far.

Pricing hasn’t been confirmed yet, though the shoe follows Ye’s Yeezy BL-01, which launched at $80 before later selling for $108 through JD Sports. Additional pastel colorways have also surfaced, though only the black pair currently appears live on the site.

Yeezy 800

The Yeezy 800 comes at an important moment for the brand. Yeezy recently confirmed a partnership with JD Sports, marking its first major retail presence since parting ways with Adidas.

That shift could streamline how future releases like the 800 reach customers. Ye has teased new silhouettes on social media before, only for them to take months to actually hit shelves. A tighter relationship with a retailer like JD Sports may change that timeline going forward.

Social media users have also pointed out similarities between the 800 and Hi-Tec’s Magnum Uniform Service Trainer, a design based on British military training standards. Whether that comparison holds up once the shoe fully releases remains to be seen.

Either way, seeing the pair loaded directly onto Yeezy.com is the strongest signal yet that this release is close. December isn’t too far away, and this may be the first real look at how Yeezy handles a full retail rollout on its own.

Tyla recently denied Yung Miami’s claims during a video with Quenlin Blackwell. She recalled being in the studio with the former City Girl and hearing many of her tracks, but not that “Take Me To Chanel” snippet. Also, the South African artist said her actual song was from another writer who sent it to her months after that meet-up. She also added that she understands the presumption and showed love to the femcee, singing her viral hit “Spend Dat.”

Earlier this week, Complex Music‘s video showed Jordan Rose asking Yung Miami if she’s been able to talk with Tyla about the situation. “We haven’t had a chance,” she replied. “I never spoke to her after that. We’ve never spoken at all. The situation was what the situation was, and that’s just what it was. I moved on.”

Rose brought up how Tyla messes with “Spend Dat,” which led Miami to some more remarks. “Oh, I’m sure she does,” she responded. “I’m not even saying in a shady way. She did a TikTok to ‘Tea Time.’ I mean, she’s been very supportive.”

Yung Miami Responds To Tyla

We will see if the two ever get the chance to talk about this, let alone whether fans will know about it. It seems like there’s no real bad blood here, although both artists are looking to move on from the situation.

Elsewhere, Tyla has responded to other viral stories about her. Recently, she seemed to deny misinterpreted rumors that A$AP Rocky cheated on Rihanna with her, which stemmed from her wearing jewelry that was made specifically for him.

On the other hand, Yung Miami recently dropped a big life update, as she revealed she’s been in a new relationship for a while now. Following years of association with Diddy, she is moving on and being more open about her life.

With that in mind, we wouldn’t rule out a revisitation of this dynamic down the line. But amid a lot of other noise, it seems like the “Chanel” saga is over.

This colorway pulls inspiration from behind-the-scenes footage of Michael Jordan filming against a green screen during production. Textured green suede covers the entire upper, midsole included, giving the shoe an almost monochrome look from top to bottom. A Jumpman sits on the ankle, with classic “23” branding stitched into the heel.

The standout detail is the outsole, finished in a translucent glow-in-the-dark green that lights up in the dark. It’s a playful touch that ties directly into the shoe’s Space Jam inspiration without leaning on any actual movie graphics.

Jordan Brand has leaned heavily into behind-the-scenes storytelling with its recent anniversary releases, and this pair continues that trend. Rather than referencing a specific scene or character, “Green Screen” points to the actual filmmaking process that brought the movie’s animated world to life.

Pairs will be available through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand NBHD retailers. Given the narrow retailer list and relatively high price point, expect this release to run limited compared to some of Jordan Brand’s wider Space Jam offerings this year.

Air Jordan 11 “Green Screen”

The “Green Screen” is one of three Air Jordan 11 releases tied to the film’s anniversary this year. The original “Space Jam” colorway is also returning for the first time in a decade, giving fans the more familiar black, white, and royal blue pair alongside this new interpretation.

This release replaced an earlier rumored “Space Jam Galaxy” colorway, which reportedly won’t be seeing a public release after all. “Green Screen” ended up taking that release slot instead, shifting focus toward the film’s production process rather than a Foamposite-style cosmic design.

The timing lines up almost exactly with the movie’s original release. Space Jam first hit theaters in November 1996, making this drop feel like a genuine 30-year callback rather than just a seasonal release.

For collectors already chasing the returning “Space Jam” 11, “Green Screen” offers a completely different way to celebrate the same anniversary.

In a TikTok livestream caught by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, Rock went off on Blue for his alleged sexual proclivities and his attempts to put on a different public image. She also said she’s not down to get with his “program,” and claimed this is the reason he’s so mad at her.

“‘Bleed somebody’? What? What are you talking about?” Chrisean remarked. “You like your butt cracked open and ate… You are a different type of n***a. Then, you be trying to play these roles like you superior or something. You just Johnathan, bro. I’ll keep it a whole buck… He mad because I don’t want to get with his program. There’s no program. We gon’ have our fun, you can leave… You like, ‘Oh, I spent $10,000. I don’t feel it.’ What do you mean? You want me to suck your toes or something? No… Stop talking. Then you keep saying, ‘Oh, you a B-I-C-T-H.’ You won’t really say that in my face… I’ll beat you, your mother, your sister up… I’m not finna prove myself again… I love you, goodbye…”

Blueface & Chrisean Rock’s Timeline

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

For those unaware, Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s turbulent relationship began back in 2020 when they met on a dating show. They kept their relationship up (albeit with a lot of drama and fighting) until around 2023, when the paternity of their son Chrisean Jr. became a heavy point of contention between them.

Since then, they have been on-and-off concerning their amicability, and there is a lot of other buzz around them. Blueface’s other partners have clashed with Chrisean Rock a lot, and so has his mother. Maybe this time, Rock will decide to step away for good, but many fans doubt it.

White leather forms the base of the shoe, paired with grey speckled overlays across the wings, heel, and mudguard. Royal blue hits the midsole, tongue lining, and Nike Air branding on the heel, pulling directly from the Dodgers’ team colors.

Also the name “Robinson” is stitched into the tongue tag in red lettering. Further, his iconic number 42 appears embroidered on the heel in matching blue.

Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier on April 15, 1947, becoming the first Black player in the sport’s modern era. Tying the release to that exact date gives the colorway added weight beyond just its design.

Overall full family sizing will drop at launch, with pricing set at $230. Retail channels haven’t been fully confirmed yet. That being said, the shoe is expected to be available through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers closer to release.

Air Jordan 4 OG “Jackie Robinson”

Robinson’s impact reaches far beyond baseball. His debut is one of the most significant moments in American sports history. It further opened the doors that shaped years and years of progress across professional athletics.

MLB has honored his legacy for years through Jackie Robinson Day, celebrated annually on April 15th league-wide. Also, every player across the sport wears his number 42 that day, a tradition that’s become one of baseball’s most recognizable customs.

Also Jordan Brand tying a release directly to this date adds real significance beyond a standard colorway drop. It places the Air Jordan 4 within a broader conversation about civil rights and representation in sports.

Overall, with the 80th anniversary approaching, this release is shaping up to be one of the more meaningful Jordan Brand drops of 2027, regardless of personal sneaker preference.

As caught by No Jumper on Instagram, Vicious recently reacted to “F**k YSL” chants at his concert. “Louder,” he asked as the crowd continued to chant before he let his song play.

For those unaware, this tension recently manifested into Young Thug and Nine Vicious’ Internet signing spat. The latter claimed the former lied about resigning him to YSL for millions of dollars. But then, Thugger shared screenshots of alleged messages with Nine in which Vicious allegedly denied having denied that signing.

Following the young MC’s concert chants, Tezzus allegedly responded to him beefing with YSL and ØWAY during a recent concert of his own. “That p***y banned from here. That boy can’t come back to Atlanta,” he remarked, although it’s not explicitly clear if he was referring to Nine here.

Still, fans connected the dots, and there are few context clues online for who else Tezzus could be talking about. In any case, it looks like Vicious won’t be returning to YSL anytime soon.

Nine Vicious & YSL Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

For those unaware, Nine Vicious’ issues with Young Thug and YSL first surfaced in a big way back in September of last year. In multiple interactions with fans, Nine suggested there were some tensions. He said, “Everything fake about this industry” while denying a YSL and YVL official release will happen, whereas he still proclaimed loyalty to his For Nothing collective and YVL, which is led by Playboi Carti. Also, Vicious clarified he was “*for nothing” when a fan on Twitter reacted to one of his posts with “big ysl s**t.”

Young Thug’s going on tour with this new YSL generation soon, so we’ll see if there are any other updates. It’s sad to see a young collective face conflict early, but such is the reality of collaborative stardom.

Billboard recently revealed the record sold around 51K album-equivalent units in its first week, leading to a number seven debut on their 200 albums chart. Of these 51K units, only 1,500 of these represent pure album sales. AEOS is available for purchase only as a digital download. The rest are all from streaming platforms, equaling 51.59 million on-demand official streams from the tracklist.

This is a step-down from the Memphis rapper’s Shiesty Season mixtape from 2021, which sold 62K-65K units in its first week and debuted at number four on Billboard. But he has been through so much legal trouble during and after that time that the interest in his music was always going to mix with the drama around him.

As such, seeing similar success with AEOS is likely heartening for Pooh and his team. We will see if the success sticks around or if the album wanes in the rotation soon after release.

How Much Time Is Pooh Shiesty Facing?

Recently, Pooh Shiesty got in a rap feud after he allegedly called NLE Choppa “gay” during a leaked phone call. Choppa responded by calling out this comment despite NLE’s support of Shiesty, accusing him of copying his style. The two allegedly have a partner in common, as fans speculated the mother of Choppa’s child is allegedly expecting a baby with Pooh.

As for Pooh Shiesty’s Gucci Mane case, a judge recently rejected his bond proposal. There haven’t been many other significant legal updates as of late, but a leaked video of the alleged robbery lit the timeline for a bit. If convicted, Pooh faces a maximum sentence of life in federal prison.

Shiesty seemed to address all these narratives and more on AEOS, whether proactively or just because unrelated lyrics coincidentally parallel his current situation. It’s led to a successful first week, albeit not a super impressive one. Regardless, considering the whirlwind around him, even getting it out there is a win.
