- The Air Jordan Ultra "Sail" introduces a new takedown silhouette built around Air Jordan 3 design cues, pairing a mesh and synthetic upper with simplified cushioning at a lower price.
- The pair follows the success of the 2024 Jordan 4 RM, which Nigel Sylvester debuted before launching widely in an avalanche of colorways and proving the takedown appetite.
- The shoe builds on Jordan Brand's long history of takedown models stretching back to the 2000s Team Jordan series, translating signature DNA into accessible team-friendly options.
Jordan Brand has been reworking some of their classics into more affordable options in recent years, like the Air Jordan 4 RM. After an extensive run with that model, it appears the AJ3 is next up, ditching the RM subtitle and simply called the Air Jordan Ultra.
Takedown models have been an important extension of the Jordan Brand lineup, offering more accessible versions of flagship performance sneakers tied to Michael Jordan’s legacy. Beginning in the 2000s, models like the Team Jordan series translated design cues from mainline Air Jordans into lower-priced options built for team athletes and everyday players. Later releases, including budget-conscious performance pairs inspired by signature models such as the Air Jordan 34, maintained visual DNA while simplifying cushioning and materials.
In 2024, Jordan introduced a new era of takedown models with the Jordan 4 RM, a low-top, simplified version of the iconic AJ4. The model was introduced in collaboration with Nigel Sylvester, before releasing widely in an avalanche of colorways. Last year, the Air Jordan 3 was rumored to get the RM treatment, and it has finally appeared this week, though it seems to be ditching the RestoMod subtitle. Instead, the silhouette will go by Air Jordan Ultra, and even without the number, we can tell it is heavily inspired by the AJ3. The shoe is seen here in one of its debut looks, a simple “Sail” style, with a mesh and suede upper with elephant print leather reinforcement. The best part is the $145 price tag.
