TLDR: On 20 August 2025, the Air Jordan 40 ‘Blue Suede’ will be released for €200. The signature silhouette combines luxury materials with high-performance technology and references iconic Air Jordans from the past. For Michael Jordan's 40th signature model, Jordan Brand is raising the bar both technically and visually. Following its debut in ‘The Classic,’ the ‘Blue Suede’ now takes centre stage with its striking blue hue and velvety upper material. Black nubuck leather overlays provide subtle contrasts, while the shiny tongue and visible ‘bone line’ stitching add additional accents.
The design combines subtle references to earlier Air Jordans: the heel area is reminiscent of the AJ3, the tongue of the AJ5, the reflective elements of the AJ13, and the details on the outsole and heel tab reference the AJ12 and AJ14. Under the hood, a performance package ensures maximum performance: full-length ZoomX combined with Zoom Strobel offers maximum energy return, 360° containment through internal webbing guarantees stable support, and the 40° herringbone outsole delivers uncompromising grip.
With this mix of premium materials, technical innovation and homage to Jordan history, the ‘Blue Suede’ is made for both the court and street style.
