Jordan Brand finally unveiled their fortieth mainline model this Summer, the Air Jordan 40. After making its debut in July, a new color scheme has emerged this week, dressing the shoe in a “Chicago” colorway with details paying homage to the AJ1.
At long last, Jordan Brand has finally unveiled the next evolution of their performance footwear; the Air Jordan 40. This year, obviously, marks the fortieth anniversary of Michael Jordan’s signature shoes with Nike and the creation of the Jordan Brand as a whole. The model was unveiled early this Summer, and has since launched in its debut “The Classic” color scheme, with more pairs on the way soon in “Blue Suede” and “Dusty Rose“. This week, another color scheme has entered the chat, with some new details celebrating the Air Jordan 1.
The latest pair of the Air Jordan 40 to cross our timeline brings a familiar look to the new performance model. The silhouette dons a “Chicago” style, mixing a white upper with black and red accents. However, several new details have been added to the shoe for this release, which subtly nod to the Air Jordan 1 from 1985. Starting at the top, the shoe features a Nike Air tongue tag in red, like the original Chicago AJ1. Swooshes have been added for this release, cast in a simple white leather to match the rest of the upper. Finally, the Jordan Wings logo appears on the inner heels to complete the look.
