Nike and the Jordan Brand are dropping two new Michigan basketball shoes today at 10:00. They will be available at MDen and probably online at Nike.com.
It's rare for Jordan to drop two Michigan shoes on the same day, but they are hoping that March Madness will open your wallet. It's a little taste of the new and a little taste of the old. We will take a look at both shoes in todays post.
These shoes are the newest in the Jordan line. It's Russell Westbrook's first signature basketball shoes (he has done a few lifestyle shoes for Jordan) called the Why Not Zer0.1. The first Why Not's sold out quickly, but the second and the third releases around the All Star Game are still available.
I believe I saw Charles Matthews wearing these this past weekend in NYC as the Wolverines ran the table. As you can see there are no laces on these and very lightweight. Retail is $125
These are the Michigan edition Jordan 32's low. If you ask regular sneakerhead's they would've preferred a release in a much lower Jordan version number. We didn't get that and today we have the 32's. Which seems to be a trend as the last Michigan Shoe was the Jordan 31's. This isn't your fathers Jordan's and crafted for today's marketplace with the flyknit uppers and leather heel panel. Retail is $160. Update: Sold out at MDen - still available at Nike.com
- Looks like David Brandon will be looking for another gig as Toys-R-Us isn't going to make it out of bankruptcy and are starting the liquidation process. Another major retailer dying as our shopping habits continue to change.
- Coach B will being running a full game inter squad scrimmage today with officials to keep his team sharp during the break.
- ESPN recently removed Jemele Hill from Sports Center and this morning it was announced today will be Michael Smith's last day on the show as well. Both still remain under contract with ESPN.

Seems like Michigan is starting to become known because of all the recruiting misses lately
