Since introduction the Air Jordan Flipsyde as the first Air Jordan skateboarding shoe, we’ve seen large strides by the Jordan Brand in an attempt to tap in to the skateboarding market. With the likes of the Air Jordan I (1) Low Phat, skateboarding has played a major role when it comes to the design process. This Flipsyde appears to have been inspired by the Air Jordan III (3), although both feature a similar shape, this Flipsyde implements a black, true red and light graphite colorway. In addition, the upper is finished with embossing adding a little depth to this intriguing model. Now available at LTD Online.

The highly controversial Air Jordan Flipsyde is making its way into the market making it Jordan Brand’s first skateboarding based (or casual, it seems people are calling it, and labeled by Jordan Brand) sneaker.

We mentioned earlier the role the Air Jordan III has played in the design process of the sneaker, its the other elements that make it the ideal skateboarding shoe. A foam-backed lining adds additional comfort and padding, as well as the solid rubber out-sole which provides great traction. The cool grey/yellow ochre – black model seen above is now available at the NikeStore.
