As part of an upcoming Air Jordan Countdown Pack (two-shoe packs which total 23), the Air Jordan VI Carmine has been revealed as the colorway of choice to go alongside the Air Jordan XVII. The Carmine has long been a holy grail and unattainable sneaker for many due to its only release occurring back in 1991 resulting in expensive mostly unwearable pairs for those lucky enough to have a deadstock pair.

Nike and Jordan Brand arch-enemy Air Randy has gotten his hands on samples of an upcoming Air Jordan 5 x Air Force 1 Fusion. The rehashed version of the Black/Metallics includes red and blue throughout with an embroidered 23 on the heel. No word yet on availability.

With next year seeing a shift away from retro Jordans, the retro fix will be available only through Countdown Packs and Air Jordan x Air Force 1 Fusion releases. Among the Fusion releases are these black-fire red release which perhaps best embodies the Air Jordan V it represents. The black nubuck upper includes an ice blue sole and red midsole with 23 embroidered on the heel.

With a new Air Jordan Fusions concept on the horizon, this new hybrid series has drawn some mixed reviews as of late. Despite the fact many of these renditions may possess some decent ideas and executions, for some it’s the fact that the holy Air Jordan has been reinterpreted which may cause some confusion and disdain. This latest Fusion includes the classic Air Jordan V White/Fire Red colorway which incorporates some highlighting characteristics such as clear mesh, 3M tongue, lace toggles and clear sole. Look for a Spring 2008 release for these Fusions.
