At the start of the year, Jordan Brand announced it would be marking its 40th anniversary by releasing several new silhouettes and colorways as well as reintroducing some of its most iconic grails. With excitement ramping up, Footlocker has just dropped a specially selected line-up in its stores and online.
Amongst the releases, the footwear retailer has launched two past silhouettes: the hotly anticipated Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shattered Backboard” and Air Jordan 3 “Starfish”. Having undergone a number of upgrades over the years, the first celebrates its own 10-year anniversary with a close-to-original combination of premium materials. Meanwhile, the women’s Air Jordan 3 “Starfish” introduces a fresh mix of perforated leather, suede, and canvas, inspired by Nina Chanel’s Air Jordan 3 Retro.
Adding to its mainline offering of Flight Courts, Retro 11s, and other Air Jordan silhouettes, the sportswear retailer has also welcomed the arrival of the new Air Jordan 40. The innovative sneaker, which made its official debut last month, has already been favored by fans for its full-length ZoomX midsole – the first of its kind in Nike history – and Zoom Strobel. In terms of the shape, it delivers a sleekly sculpted form similar to that of its predecessor, but swaps a webbed overlay with a three-panel upper made up of supple leather.
Take a closer look at the three drops in the galleries above.
The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shattered Backboard,” Air Jordan 3 “Starfish” and Air Jordan 40 is now available to shop at Footlocker’s website.
