Jordan Brand will officially debut Michael Jordan’s next signature shoe, the Air Jordan 40, in July 2025. The model combines elements from the Air Jordan 10, resembling a lifestyle shoe, but is equipped for the basketball court.
Trae Young, who recently signed to Jordan Brand, was spotted wearing the Air Jordan 40 in the White and Black colorway. Some initially speculated that the pair could be a different model, but it was confirmed to be Michael Jordan’s latest signature shoe.
Air Jordan 40 Technology
As expected, the Jordan 40 will be upgraded with various tech. The latest signature shoe features a Zoom Strobel built into the sole of the foot to help with change of direction, while the ZoomX foam midsole absorbs shock and overall helps with comfort. In addition, we have a cup-shaped heel for stability, and the lacing system is tucked away, referencing the Air Jordan 10.
Fit is a top priority for many, and the shoes are equipped with an inner bootie for a snug and lockdown feel. The Air Jordan 40 also has lateral support, a leather upper, and a partial semi-translucent rubber outsole.
Design Elements
What makes the Air Jordan 40 unique is that it pays homage to previous Air Jordans by borrowing elements:
- Heel clip and eyelets referencing the Air Jordan 3
- Tongue inspired by the Air Jordan 5
- The Jumpman on the toe of the outsole calls explicitly back to the Air Jordan 12
- Reflectivity was initially seen in the Air Jordan 13
- Bone line with stitching drawing from the Air Jordan 14
- The microwebbing contains MJ’s signature as a reference to the Air Jordan 15
- Iridescent window nodding to the Air Jordan 18

I can’t understand why we are still captivated by a player who hasn’t played in years, and a shoe that stubbornly refuses to be released in its most iconic colorway—black and red, the very colors this brand and its flagship shoe are known for. It’s incredibly frustrating and upsetting to see this brand continue to disappoint fans like me.
Trash. Air Jordan used to be the trendsetters, now they are the followers. No creativity here in the shoe, and the colorways are horrible.
