The Air Jordan 40 is ready to launch a brand-new era for Jordan Brand. Built for performance and packed with innovation, this model looks to the future without forgetting its roots.

NBA star Trae Young was recently seen training in a black and white pair. His early wear test hints at how serious Jordan Brand is about blending tech and style. This Jordan performance sneaker uses lightweight materials and has a sleek, low-cut frame built for speed.

Air Jordan 40 Tech Specs

Tech upgrades include a ZoomX midsole with Zoom Strobel cushioning for extra bounce and energy return. A cup-shaped heel adds stability, while the upgraded lacing system—borrowed from the Air Jordan 10—improves lockdown support.

The upper features seamless eco-leather, giving it a premium yet sustainable finish. Inside, the comfort-fit liner keeps things snug during intense action. The dynamic toe flex also follows your natural foot motion, making cuts feel smoother than ever.

Other features include a TPU frame for lateral support and a refined tongue made with premium leather. From top to bottom, this Jordan basketball shoe is built for the modern game.

Air Jordan 40 Release Date

The Air Jordan 40 is expected to release in Fall 2025 between July and September. Look for them at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $205 USD.
