Fashion| Air Jordan 10 Retro 30th Anniversary “Bulls Over Broadway” & “Lady Liberty”

• With all the NYC-inspired events taking place, Jordan introduces some freshly dropping sneakers that will be releasing during the NBA All-Star mayhem this weekend. Jordan Brand is set to drop a pair of 30th anniversary takes on the 10’s: the “Bulls Over Broadway” and the “Lady Liberty.”

The “Bulls Over Broadway” iteration features a Toro-esque look, boasting a vibrant red leather upper. A cement-shaded midsole plays complement accordingly, as black laces then accompany the Air Jordan kicks. We also note Jordan Brand branding implemented at the tongue and on the heel.

The “Lady Liberty” rendition is a direct nod to — you guessed it — the Statue of Liberty. Premium dust-colored leather drapes the shoe which also bears a cement midsole. Teal accents liven the sneaks up via the lining and the sole detailing, while a gold Jumpman logo provides added entice at the heel.

Look for both the “Bulls Over Broadway” and “Lady Liberty” 10s to land at select JB providers such as Livestock on February 14.

With players from many sports taking their fashion statement infront of the camera more serious, we start to see a pattern of designer and players collaborating more than ever.

This German basketball giant has unveiled recently news of a collaboration with sports brand PUMA ahead of All-Star weekend. Using one of PUMA’s most storied silhouettes, Frazier’s ability to steal the ball earned him the referential moniker, which pays homage to the infamous crime duo Bonnie & Clyde.

The celebratory sneaker features an all-gold upper, offset by a New York City heel tab and packaged in a limited edition illustrated shoe box. This collaboration is a direct display of the artist and athlete relationship that has become so commonly exhibited.
