Air Jordan 39 Colorways + Release Dates (Complete Guide)

The Air Jordan 39 expands on Michael Jordan’s signature line and will be released on July 23, 2024, in the “Sol” color scheme. Multiple color schemes will arrive at retailers throughout 2024 and well into 2025 and retail for $200. This section will compile all upcoming Jordan XXX9 colorways and release dates.

Jordan Brand has unveiled the Air Jordan 39 to officially start the NBA Playoffs, furthering the Air Jordan line. Michael Jordan has the most signature shoes for any athlete and is slowly approaching his fourth decade of shoes. Although it has been 21 years since Jordan played basketball professionally, the line continues with the help of younger talent. To help unveil the latest signature shoe, JB had Orlando Magic All-Star forward Paolo Banchero and Jordan Brand team member lace up the kicks to start the postseason. Banchero had a solid outing, racking up 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, but ultimately fell short against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In a recent interview, Paolo Banchero said the following regarding the Air Jordan 39:

“It’s a privilege to represent the Jordan legacy by sporting the Air Jordan 39s for our inaugural playoff series.” “MJ’s legacy shines brightest in the playoffs, and unveiling the 39’s in this setting is truly special for me.”

Like previous models, the Air Jordan 39 is inspired by Michael Jordan’s playing style. Furthermore, the shoes were inspired by the Air Jordan 9, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the shoes. When designers came to the drawing board, they wanted a signature shoe you could wear on and off the court for performance and lifestyle use.

The brand went above and beyond with the Air Jordan XXX9, combining speed and flight, two elements MJ had while playing, and future athletes. For the first time in Jordan’s history, the model will have full-length Nike ZoomX foam, resulting in 85% energy return and a cushioned heel. The herringbone traction pattern on the outsole aids in speed and cuts.

Upon its revealing, a total of nine colorways were announced. Each features a unique color palette and a combination of player exclusives, general releases, and regional exclusives. Here is a list of confirmed releases and a description of the inspiration:

• Sol: The first colorway to be introduced is dressed in all-White and pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s game and the blueprint for greatness going forward.
• Lumière: Inspired by Paris, specifically the lights and city’s skyline at night, consisting of Black and White.
• University: The shoes are highlighted in University Blue, harkening back to Jordan’s college days at the University of North Carolina.
• Croix: Inspired by Michael Jordan’s on-court performance and signature cross-step move, this Black and White colorway draws design cues from the Air Jordan 9.
• Baron: Crafted for optimal on-court performance, this neutral tri-color palette draws inspiration from Michael Jordan’s early passion, honoring his time spent on the baseball field.

• Noir: This stylish Black color scheme, paired with a Grey sole, takes cues from Michael Jordan’s moniker, “Black Cat.” Reflecting his on-court movements reminiscent of a feline, MJ demonstrated a blend of power and graceful agility.
