The quality and performance of the Air Jordan basketball sneaker flagship models will ensure that even the youngest fans will know who His Airness is
Just the fact that a signature basketball shoe line has the number 37 attached next to it is mind blowing by itself. It’s even more impressive that each year Michael Jordan and his team continue to bring new elements that work and look great on basketball courts. Of course, this is also true for this year’s model and before we get into the technological details, let’s take a look at what the shoes look like and what the story is behind them.
Decades of dominance
The release of the Air Jordan 31s was the beginning of a celebration to honor three decades of unprecedented success that the entire Jordan brand achieved. This meant that each new shoe used elements from the one that was released 30 years before it so this time around the spotlight was turned on the AJ 7s. This model holds a special place in the legacy of His Airness as these were his achievements while wearing them:
- NBA title repeat
- NBA MVP
- NBA Finals MVP
- Olympic gold medal winner
On top of this, the 7s also marked a significant change for the entire Jordan brand as the shoe did not have any visible Air technology and there was no Nike/Swoosh branding on it. While the silhouette of the 37s has some similarities to its predecessor the biggest connection between them is the bold coloring seen inside the shoe and under it (as a bonus, the sole provides excellent grip). Speaking of looks, the biggest thing that stands out about this year’s model is that it is basically see-through and we think that’s great! Why? Well, this allows so many options for personalization by using various kinds of socks. In case you didn’t know, the best basketball gear we are famous for includes socks as well and the entire collection is right here.
Now, this kind of brings us to the tech segments and we will start with the upper that provides this opportunity to express your style while also giving you support, legendary breathability and ensuring that the shoe is extremely lightweight. The reason for all of this is the leno-weave material that proved to be a great success on some of the more recent Air Jordan models. One thing that did not make a comeback from the recent models is the Eclipse plate as it is replaced with a carbon fiber shank that so many love.

Then, underneath the forefoot there are two Zoom Air units and even though they are not visible, you will certainly feel them when you put the shoe on. And you will love it! Under the heel, the brand new Formula 23 is used and unlike the Jordan Luka 1 where this foam has space to expand, here it is completely caged in to provide advanced impact protection after coming back down to the court after a high flying dunk ;D
Another thing to keep in mind with the shoe is that, given its design and specs, it will allow you make it as loose or as tight as possible which also makes it a great option for players with wider feet. Of course, the best thing you can do is come to our stores in Zagreb, Ljubljana or Budapest to try them on to see for yourself that the Air Jordan signature line is ready to stay on top of the shoe game for a long time.
