Air Jordan Esterno for June & September 2008

Left: June 08 Releases | Right: September 08 Releases

This year seems to be THE year for Jordan Brand, as they’re definitely taking huge steps away from their core products, Air Jordan 1 through Air Jordan XX3. In doing this, Jordan Brand has created many new models, including the Air Jordan Esterno. The Esterno is, as Jordan Brand puts it, “a team shoe crafted for the rugged nature of outdoor basketball.” It appears to be a very heavy, durable shoe; this is definitely no Hyperdunk, at least in terms of weight. However, the trade-off in durability is more than worth it- for those out there who love outdoor basketball, but are tired of replacing worn-out kicks, these shoes will be worth their weight in gold.
