Kevin Poux — Wed, 16 May 2012 06:15:16 +0000

2012 has been a big year for Jordan Brand when it comes to retros. We’ve seen a variety of past favorites make their way back to shelves, and recently we saw the Air Jordan 12 “Playoffs” make a comeback. As with every other retro this year, this too sold out quickly.

For this latest version of KicksOnFire’s Chicks in Kicks feature, we came together with model Brittani Bianca Ness, who is seen here modeling the shoes for all of our loyal readers. Check out the images above, and as always, leave us your thoughts. Enjoy!

Kevin Poux — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:00:07 +0000

Earlier this month, the Nike Air Foamposite One “Metallic Red” made its way to retailers, and they were definitely hard to get a hold of. KicksOnFire recently came together with model Samantha Moolchan for a photo shoot that paired her up with the popular shoe.

Just to recap, the shoe features a vibrant metallic red posite upper, which is contrasted with touches of black on the tongue, shoe lacing tabs, and heel. Finishing off the design is a translucent outsole. Check out the images and let us know what you think. Also, be on the lookout for our next Chicks in Kicks feature.

Chicks in Kicks: The Top 10 by Kimmy Kamish

Jacques Slade — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:07:02 +0000

For the next round of Chicks in Kicks, we tap the beauty and “sneakerheadness” of the lovely Kimmy Kamish. From Fashion Week to International pageants, Kimmy is one of the few models that has a deep appreciation for the sneaker game. For her latest calendar, Kimmy dons some of the most exclusive kicks on the planet and displays them in a way that not only makes your mouth water for her, but for the shoes as well. I recently had a chance to sit down with Kimmy and get the low down on her 2012 Kimmy’s Kicks Calendar, as well as her Top 10 sneakers.

10. Louis Vuitton Jaspers

The color, the style, and a smooth name like Jasper are all reasons for why this is one of my top 10 picks.

Chicks in Kicks – Jordan 11 Concords x Katiria Maduro

Kevin Poux — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:56:16 +0000

With the official release of the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” less than two hours away, we thought we’d tease you guys a bit more with some more photos. This time however, they’re being worn on the feet of model Katiria Maduro, which is definitely a plus! (Hot Chick + Air Jordan 11 “Concord” = #WINNING).If you want to see even more photos, you can refer back to our Chicks in Kicks x Indee Jones feature, as she sported the kicks for that photo shoot. Good luck to everyone that’s trying to get their hands on a pair, and be careful out there.

Chicks in Kicks – Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” x Liliya Patarinski

Kevin Poux — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 07:30:11 +0000

The Air Jordan 11 “Concord” is definitely the highlight of Jordan Brand’s end of the year releases, but another classic colorway is also scheduled to release as part of JB’s fourth quarter offerings. The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” is making a comeback! Its time away from retailers was short lived, at least in comparison to the Jordan 11 “Concord”, as it made an appearance back in 2008 as part of the Air Jordan Countdown Pack.

We recently came together with model Liliya Patarinski, who is seen here rocking the classic Air Jordan. The shoe’s black tumbled leather construction is contrasted with cement grey touches, including the infamous elephant print that we have all come to know and love. Hints of red are also applied, while a white midsole incorporates an air unit into the design at the heel. Look for them to officially release to Jordan Brand accounts on November 25, 2011 and retail for $160.

With the release of the highly anticipated Air Jordan 11 Retro “Concord” a little more than two months away, new photos of the shoe are constantly surfacing. We decided to capture some flicks of them ourselves, but with a bit of a twist that we think you guys will enjoy.

Our “Chicks in Kicks” feature rolls on as we recently teamed up with a young, aspiring model named Indee Jones. Originally from Alabama, she’s currently studying Textile Development and Marketing Trade at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, New York, but likes to try her hand at modeling as well. We paired her up with the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Concords”, and you can check out the photos below. Whether you’re into the chick or into the kicks, there’s definitely something here for you to relish.

Be on the lookout for the release of the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Concord”, which is slated for December 23, 2011. Also, be on the lookout for more work from Indee Jones, who can be contacted via her facebook or twitter.

Chicks in Kicks – Rhiannon Helen x KicksOnFire (Part 2)

Kevin Poux — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 05:58:44 +0000

A few days ago we featured model Rhiannon Helen modeling with the Air Jordan 5 (V) – Light Graphite / White – Wolf Grey and Air Jordan 5 (V) – White / Varsity Red – Obsidian. Well she’s back again, this time showing off the recently released Air Jordan 11 Low IE – Black / Varsity Red – White.

Instead of utilizing patent leather like the typical Air Jordan 11, this low-top version of the classic shoe puts black leather to use, while matching black cement print makes its way onto the shoe in several places. Contrasting the dark hue are red and white accents, which in the end create a classic color scheme. Enjoy the photos ahead.

Chicks in Kicks – Rhiannon Helen x KicksOnFire

Kevin Poux — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 08:15:07 +0000

Our Chicks in Kicks features continue, as here we feature some photos of model Rhiannon Helen, who collaborated with us to show off two recently released silhouettes from Jordan Brand. Shown here are the Air Jordan 5 (V) – Light Graphite / White – Wolf Grey and Air Jordan 5 (V) – White / Varsity Red – Obsidian.

Set in a wolf grey upper, the “Wolf Grey” version also features contrasting white stitching and branding. Plastic inserts in the side panels compliment the grey and white mixture, while a translucent outsole finishes off the design. The latter design boasts a gleaming white patent leather upper, which is met by a midnight navy outsole and hints of varsity red throughout. Check out the pictures below and let us know what you think.

Chicks in Kicks – Haydee Villacis x KicksOnFire

Kevin Poux — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 05:20:37 +0000

Recently, we were lucky enough to collaborate with model Haydee Villacis, who participated in our photo shoot to create this latest version of Chicks in Kicks. We paired her up with a few different popular shoes, including the recently released Air Jordan 3 ” True Blue”, and very exclusive and limited Nike LeBron 8 ” South Beach”.

In case you forgot, the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” surfaced back in 2009, and kept fanatics frozen in anticipation over the release. When Air Jordan sneakerheads here in the states found out that it was an overseas release only, they became enraged. Fortunately, Jordan Brand was nice enough to release them to stateside accounts this year.

The Nike LeBron 8 “South Beach” was created in limited numbers, and features a flashy colorway that has come to be associated with South Beach. The shoes are still in high demand, and are even going for $1,000 on eBay.

Check out the detailed pictures ahead, and keep in mind that we value your opinions, so don’t be afraid to leave us some comments!

Chicks in Kicks – Jourdan Dunn

Jazerai — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 17:58:34 +0000

Jourdan Dunn was recently photographed by Robin Derrick for one of the most coveted fashion magazines of all time, Vogue. The first Black model to walk a Prada runway in over a decade, Dunn has made a name for herself with over ten covers in the past five years, as well as being the face of Yves Saint Laurent’s La Nuit de l’Homme fragrance. This particular shoot was just as cutting edge as Jourdan herself, styled mostly with sneakers, an aesthetic rarely used by Vogue. Pictured in a selection of Nike Trainers as well as a pair of vintage Converse All Stars, Dunn shows off her athletic side in more than five pages of the mag. If you are interested in creating the look for yourself or for your girl, a style guide is included with references to Lacoste, Nike Blazers and an interesting pair of heeled Killah sneakers. via FB
