Air Jordan 40: Release Date & First Look | GQ Japan

Pursuing new innovation from 40 years of history

A new model number has been released by the Jordan brand. The Air Jordan 40 is an innovative basketball shoe that was born from a 40-year history, and is an ambitious shoe that aims to infuse new innovations rather than evolve from the old model.

Air Jordan 40 ¥30,800

The biggest feature is that it has been the first time in Nike’s history to use a full-length Zoom Strobe on the midsole, just like the full-length Zoom X-form. A strobell is the base part where the upper can be sewn on, and by installing a full-length Zoom X foam just below the sole of the foot, it has benefited from cushioning, high rebound, and reduced weight. This contributes to improving the player’s reactivity and propulsion. The inner has a full-length booty structure. Six webbing tapes improve the fit.

The heel counter logo is a homage from the Air Jordan 12.
