During the official unveiling of the Air Jordan 40 early this week, the brand teased a number of colors slated to arrive in the next few months. Among them was a lovely “Blue Suede” edition, dropping in August 2025.
Jordan Brand’s unveiling of the AJ40 finally went down this week, with the brand inviting a select group of journalists to a showroom in new York City to launch the new performance model. During the event they discussed some of the design choices behind the shoe, announced Trae Young and Paolo Ranchero as the main athletes who will wear the shoe, and shared release plans for new colors. Some of the inspiration for the fortieth edition of Air Jordan came from its early predecessors, including tongues are inspired by the AJ5, a heel counter inspired by the AJ3, and other small nods to the 13, 14, and 18 models.
During the event, JB stated that there would be about 10 pairs arriving within the next year, and shared an early look at the first few releases, “The Classic“, “Dusty Rose“, and a “Blue Suede” edition. The latter is one of our favorite new styles for the model, and build the silhouette’s entire upper in a soft but durable micro suede. The pale Armory Blue shade covers the entire toe box and side walls, while black suede frames the collars and eyestays. Tongues feature a 3M reflective panel at the top, while a white midsole completes the look.
