Air Jordan Flipsyde (Flipside) Jordan Brands First Skate Shoe
(171 votes, average: 2.74 out of 5)
Loading ...
Michael Jordan has taught us many things over the years, but one thing that always lingers is you have to try hard and work hard to become the best at anything. Jordan Brand is taking a new step to revolutionize the sneaker world, by issuing the first ever Air Jordan Skate shoe.
We have heard rumors about this, and then put to rest when Gentry Humphrey talked about this sneaker in a youtube video, but now we present you pictures, these three colorways are in fact the Air Jordan Flipsyde or Flipside.
Like many Skate Shoes, the Air Jordan Flipsyde features a thick sole and outsole, padded liner for those hard to land kick flips, and a padded tongue. The three color ways pictured are Light Graphite / Varsity Maize-Black, Black / Dark Charcoal, and Black / White - Varsity Red.
The first pair is scheduled to release is July 2008, and expect a load of color schemes to drop, which we will update you with a exact release date. Big thanks to our good friend Jason.

Keep in mind that the first JB releases were absolutely horrid in design and craftsmanship. They’ll get there in the skate world!

JB could do a lot betta I’m dissapointed

am May 3 2008 @ 7:52 am
let’s be honest… i’m ignoring the fact that it’s a ’skate’ shoe. That blacked out joint in the middle is pretty nice. It has a classic look which is what i fukks with. I very rarely dickride any NEW product. But honestly, I might grab up those jet black shitz. I don’t like the jumpman symbol on the midsole, and the symbol on the heel is kinda wack too. But these things surprised me… I thought they would be HORRIBLE. Ima have to see these in person. The materials look good (imo)

WTFFFF said
am May 3 2008 @ 1:26 pm
i dont get it…skate shoes…so uhhh how much is it gonna cost…it should be like 60 to 70 bucks for these..cuz if i was skate boarder i wouldnt want 2 skate on these if it was the price of any other jordans n plus hearing a jordan skate shoe doesnt feel right to skate on them but jus for going out i guess..im confused T_T
Rob528 said
am May 3 2008 @ 1:43 pm
I’d skate in them.If they got zoom air i’ll cop,but I don’t see Jordan SB’s going very far unless black people start skating more.
sam said
am May 3 2008 @ 1:45 pm
I would sk8 with these, but if these cost more than $90, I wouldn’t buy these
youknow said
am May 3 2008 @ 2:08 pm
these are hideous.
jordan brand needs to keep its greasy paws away from the sb market.
stick to designing good looking bball shoes, and not put out this flipside, XX3, braggin’ rights, ol’school garbage.
you herd.

this better be the only skate shoes. theres no reason they should kill a basketball shoe brand. i mean do you see DC making b-ball shoes. nike is a whole nother story cuz theyre not only meant for ballin they just make good basketball shoes. but air jordan represents the greatest BASKETBALL player in the history not skater.

wow…this is really gay….this is how you can tell that jordan is a complete a sellout and is really desperate for money…JB switching to skateshoes from basketball sneaks is like a brand like…vans lets say, switching over to basketball shoes or running shoes or something gay…you jordan dickriders saying that you will actually pay for this bullshit are just….stupid and your completely overlooking this…
and this is exactly why i lost respect for the jordan brand..

These are a good start to his skating shoe line. They are not the best, but they are FAR from worse. I would like to see better and more clear pics and also different colors. I rate the 3 out of 5 stars. Hopefully they perform better than they look and I hope they are very comfy.

they don’t look all that ugly. i’ve certainly seen worse looking skate shoes, and MUCH WORSE looking jordans. but the AJF3 fusions are the only shoes that can steal from the 3 without bastardizing the look, so…puff puff PASS.
Bitchassness said

They should have just dropped some 3s and altered them a lil bit and called it a day…I love skatin in Jordan IIIs but these shits are horrible

Stevie should’ve stayed with DGK/Rbk. The work out lo DGK’s are the best skate shoe. And for the guy above saying he left DGK, no way. That shits his company. As far as the jordan shit goes. They do look hot i gotta admit. but i kow they’re gonna coast and arm and a leg. I also heard antwon dixon is on the team.

this guy is just as dumb, I suppose he hates all the packages too!!! anyone who is an IDIOT please stop trying to tell everyone else what they should wear, if you like em, cop, if not, dont. but everyone who says jordan is selling out and only nike SB’s should be made are all sell outs, nike is viewed as a sell-out in the skating community as a whole.
Air jedi said

Nice….remember this is a shoe not to play ball just run skate!!!! the black and red they are hot!!! i would copp def…

Tha all black can get snatched and the cool grey is good for the true skaters, I jus cant wait to see how many men between the ages 40-55 come to my store n get em. JB really needs to slow down… Keep comin with the ideas, jus hold some stuff back for later. Its makin the true Jordan fans sick.

djjbras said
am May 5 2008 @ 9:01 am
I hate top say it, but if Nike SB wasn’t doing so well, JB would have never jumped into skate shoe world. Too bad no skate shoe will do what Nike SB has done. Something for the sneakerheads and something for the skaters, doesn’t get any better than that.
tru balla said
am May 5 2008 @ 12:31 pm
so yup they do look like 3’s but hey, they better than any jordan line baller shoe ive seen in a long time. why cant they do this for the bball shoes?
scout said
am May 5 2008 @ 12:35 pm
copped. he just need a black grey and cement print og colorway and its a done deal.
stop hating on new ideas, some are garbage, but these are pretty deso
jSTEEZEnuT said
am May 5 2008 @ 4:53 pm
Man, this whole thang is gettin rediculous. Skateboarding is getting to popular. No offense to JB but come on now. A skateboarding shoe? As if skatebaording wasn’t mainstream enough, now kids are finna buy these up. Why do people gotta try and make paper off everything. Skateboarding is being way to exploited these days. People who don’t skateboard but where skateboard gear is just like white kids who wear FUBU. IF YOU DON’T SKATE YOU CAN’T RELATE!

They are going to ruin the skate shoe game!!! Skates shoes are 39-79 dollars on average. JB goin to have a 150 dollar shoe and skate shoes are going to be exspensive

Imma skater and Im happy that theres finally a hot shoe on the market thats a skate shoe. Theres nothing wrong with DC’s but when you can skate in Jordans. Then why not? And just because you wear these shoes doesnt mean youre a sellout. Because majority of yall probably cant skate anyway.
daryl said
am May 15 2008 @ 8:51 am
hey im daryl from indonesia
think jordan retros more better than jordan flipside,jordan brands should make a skate shoes from jordan retros….like jordan 1 turns into jordan skate brand,with zoom air or air system on it…
Seray said
am May 16 2008 @ 3:32 am
It dont matter about the clothes and shoes it’s the person wearing them!!, Why do you kids get so caught up on skating, skating is a real underground lifestyle, go do your homework and stop this nonsense, shoes arent that important knowledge is!!!!.
Drex said
am May 16 2008 @ 5:10 pm
There is a rare minority of white people, who skate or ride bmx and also wear jordans… I happen to be one of them…
Right now when I ride I wear some SBs or any jordans that are flat bottomed… so this is a pretty cool idea.
It would be cool to see some SB/AJ fusions kind of like what they are doing with the AF/AJ
and I highly doubt these will be very expensive, maybe 80$s at the most…

also (black) white accent colorway retro 13’s wouldnt hurt either?
