While we stand in complete awe of Jordan Brand’s breathtaking hybrids like the Air Jordan 4016 and Air Jordan 4014, we can’t forget the main drops of the primary model. Boasting a full-length Zoom Air strobel and full-length ZoomX foam footbed, the Air Jordan 40 is easily the most advanced Air Jordan sneaker of all-time on a cushioning standpoint; does the design live up to those performance specs?

Our simple answer: yes. It’s got the clean-cut, elegant, and upscale aesthetic that mirrors Michael Jordan’s finer tastes. It’s not here to compete with past designs; it exists to provide the best in-game capabilities fit for today’s Jordan Brand athlete and ballers worldwide. Minimal in branding but maximal in its nuance, the Air Jordan 40 gets dressed in a bright green and light-pink accent in continuing Ailun’s Air Jordan PE display. The Chinese basketball star’s PE style logo sits on the tongue, while additional Chinese text is scribed behind the tongue.

It’s likely these these are dropping in Spring 2026 exclusively in China, so stay tuned to our Jordan Release dates page for hard updates.
