The Air Jordan 40 “The Classic” has officially arrived, ushering in a bold new chapter for Jordan Brand basketball shoes. This model blends heritage and innovation using premium materials and top-tier cushioning.
Designed by industry legends Jason Mayden and Leo Chang, the Air Jordan 40 balances legacy with performance. These two creatives have strong ties to Nike and Jordan history, and their return sets the tone for what’s next.
The upper is clean and modern, crafted with white leather, black overlays, and light suede at the toe. However, the real highlight lies underfoot. This is the first Jordan model to combine ZoomX foam and a full-length Zoom Air strobel, creating elite responsiveness and comfort.
While minimal in looks, the sneaker is packed with small nods to past Air Jordan models. The heel shape, tongue structure, and sole patterns subtly reference the lineage while pushing forward with tech advancements.
The Air Jordan 40 sneaker is also part of Jordan’s push to elevate performance designs beyond retro styles. It offers a refined shape and functional upgrades that appeal to hoopers and collectors alike.
Where To Buy
The Air Jordan 40 “The Classic” will be released exclusively on Nike.com and through select Foot Locker locations in-store and online. It will not be available via the SNKRS app.
