The White Air Jordan 1 Pinnacle is at Jordan Flight23 store on July 25th. The only problem is that it will be close to impossible to grab a pair unless you know people in high places or you live in the right place and you may have some luck on your side with the raffle placed on Monday and Tuesday. Retail is set to be $400 for White Air Jordan 1 “Pinnacle”. GOOD LUCK!

Kevin Durant’s childhood dream of being a meteorologist has been a factor in the numerous colorways throughout his association with Nike. Now the What The KD 7 is back to reference a total of 18 different releases throughout 2014 and 2015 in one sneaker. It starts with the generous use of 3M material on this special edition Nike KD 7. Further references to his childhood are the midfoot straps that pay homage to his Aunt Pearl. The sneaker will release on Saturday June 20, 2015.
