The Air Jordan lineage is getting ready to release the 39th signature Air Jordan sneaker. Pretty epic, right? Making its debut in a few months, Jordan Brand and rising star of the Orlando Magic Paolo Banchero have official unveiled the Air Jordan 39.
The Air Jordan 39 was worn by Banchero over the weekend during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
?It?s a privilege to represent the Jordan legacy by sporting the Air Jordan 39s for our inaugural playoff series,? expressed Banchero. ?MJ?s legacy shines brightest in the playoffs, and unveiling the 39?s in this setting is truly special for me.?
Jordan Brand states that the Air Jordan 39 is infused with Michael Jordan’s signature style of play, as it is designed to enable athletes for their best game experience with new technology that enhances the ability to change directions. The model is diligently crafted to be the ultimate hybrid of speed and flight with performance benefits for staying low to the ground and changing directions. For the first time in Jordan Brand, this shoe has full-length Nike ZoomX foam on a basketball shoe providing an 85% energy return and a propulsive, cushioned feel. The sneaker also features a herringbone traction pattern enhancing quickness and control. The Air Jordan 39 also draws inspiration from Jordan?s iconic movements on the court, while also incorporating elements that are reminiscent of the Air Jordan 9.
