First Look: Air Jordan True Flight

1259 days ago - by Matt Halfhill - 203 comments
Air Jordan True FlightHave you ever wondered what it would be like to have retro  Air Jordans updated to perform to today’s standards? What if your favorite Jordan shoe that came out in 1992 could perform on the court as though it was designed with the pallet of today’s technology? Michael Jordan was the greatest that ever lived, but performance wise, many of his shoes have been out shined by the advancing technology that comes year after year.

Jordan Brand will be doing just that coming in January of next year with the introduction of the Air Jordan True Flight. This shoe clearly looks much like the Air Jordan 7 but is updated wish a flatter sole with herringbone traction for a better grip and Zoom Air for higher performance cushioning.

Some blurry catalog scans have leaked, but these shoes deserve to be seen properly for a first impression. The Air Jordan True Flight will take off January 17th for $140.

The concept of a retro Jordan with the performance of today’s has been a hope of mine for quite a few years. While the thought and concept of the Air Force 25 was solid, the marketing and execution wasn’t what I hoped to see. I applaud Jordan Brand for taking on this task while maintaining the integrity of the design of the shoe and keeping the upgrades in performance most noticeable to those putting the shoes to the test on the court. Many thanks to Opium Barcelona for giving us a preview of the Air Jordan True Flight.

    i hate team jordans but i have to get these

  • bulletproof617

    i love em.. i just dont like the high tops id rather mid. ill probly get 2 pairs one for ballin one for dress.

  • aj-23

    these are fire would wear they should have called them Air jordan Retro 7 instead of true flight maybe say theyre the 2008 version of the shoe

  • Stoj23

    I am very surprised to hear what many “shoe heads” are saying, especially the positive reactions to this particular shoe. I had many J’s growing up, I am old enough to have had them when they originally released, including the Air Jordan I.

    However, PRICING is not on par with the industry. I am sorry to say that, especially since I am a Jordan Head. HYPERDUNKS are in a serious lead over these, no doubt about it. Let’s not ignore this.

  • http://www.nicekicks.com Kris

    it’s like they remodeled the Air Jordan 7′s in a new era lookin’ way. they look nice tho

  • ACE HU$TLA

    THESE ARE 7′S ON STERIODS…
    IF THEY DID THIS TO THE XIII (13′s), I WOULD GET EVERY SINGLE PAIR AVAILABLE…
    NO QUESTION.

  • RON D

    they are dope, just dont like the tongue…

  • greenmaker24

    dont like them

  • oldjumpman

    ARE YOU ALL SERIOUS? SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU U CAN’T WAIT FOR JB TO UPGRADE OTHER RETROS. GIMME A BREAK! IF JB UPGRADES RETRO 5′S OR 11′S, OR WHICH EVER RETRO YOU PREFER, YOU’ALL WILL START CRITIZING THEM. REMEMBER THOSE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT NO “NIKE AIR”, YES, I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU!!! BE CAREFUL WHAT U WISH FOR. I SAY LEAVE THE CLASSICS ALONE, IF YOU WANT BETTER COMFORT ON YOUR J’S, BUY THOSE NEW INSOLES WITH THE ARCH, THOSE DARN INSOLES THAT JB PUTS IN THEIR SHOES, THEY’RE ALWAYS FLAT, HURTS MY FEET EVERYTIME. PEOPLE PLZ…!

  • oldjumpman

    TO THOSE WHO LIKE THIS SHOE, THEN STICK WITH YOUR SPI’ZIKES, 6 RINGS, DUB-ZEROS AND SO FORTH… THERE’S NO RIGHT OR WRONG, WE ALL JUST HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES…!

  • still kickin it

    wow i was surprised to see people liked these…..these look HORRIBLE

    what was JB thinking?

    look like B loyals and fake 7s fusion EW!

  • peopleschamp0812 aim

    these remind me of the B’LOYALS so much…

  • BKost

    You know these have grown on me, I might wait to see if some other shoes get remade with better technology because 7s arent one of my favorites, but these might be my first jordans in a while.

  • http://www.repcodes.com RepCodes

    One of the few Team Jordan models I’ve seen so far..but I need to see this in more colorways

  • BK BOY

    YO these is fire. Im for sure gonna cop these but they would look EVEN hotter if JB brought them out in either the Raptor VII and Chambray VII colorway….. MAYBE even the olympics???

  • willie

    these ok but i dont really like 7s soi dont no if i would rock on my chicago streets

  • 716′sfinest

    THESE IS CRACK. EVERYONE THAT HATES ON WHAT JB IS DOING..REALIZE THIS: THE MARKET IS CHANGING, AND TO EVEN BE A COMPETITOR IN THAT MARKET, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE. ALOT OF PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT. YEA I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS THE TYPICAL RETRO, WITH THE SAME TYPICAL COLORS, BUT EVENTUALLY THAT GETS BORING. THAT’S LIKE RE-RELEASING THE SAME MERCEDES S-CLASS EVERY YEAR. THINGS CHANGE, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF CHANGE. I PERSONALLY HAVE MY OWN STYLE, AND I PURPOSELY GET SNEAKERS THAT NO ONE WILL GET, JUST SO I CAN STAND OUT. THE 80′S, AND 90′S WERE A GREAT ERA……BUT LET’S FACE FACTS….IT’S 2008! NEW CONCEPTS, NEW DESIGNS, NEW INNOVATION! IT’ THE JB OF THE FUTURE…LIKE IT OR NOT….CHUUUUUUCH

  • InFamous Gio

    these shoes right here are sick
    u can hoop and wear these right def goin to buy these

  • princeofthecity

    these shoes are great, OLDJUMPMAN i dont know what you are talking about, overall i think the comments are positive.

    NICEKICKS made the point that if jb wants to stay in business past 5 years from now they have got to “recreate” themselves so to speak. that could mean updating a classic, or maybe trying a little harder to design flagship sneakers the likes of their first 15 or so years in existence. not fusions, and retros well you can only retro a shoe so many times you know.

    thumbs up on these for the effort, idea, and it is a step in the right direction.

  • sneakerfittedguy

    DEFINITE cop, I know these are gonna be sold out though still. I was thinking the same thing, it was only a matter of time before Nike / JB started making their Retro releases more modern to keep up with today’s changing sneaker technology. They need to make different variations of more models like the 5 instead of wasting material and money on their corniest marketing gimmick by far: Fusions.

  • Jay Fanatic

    Love the shoes… But Jordan needs more color scheme.. other than black,white,red… He needs to come up with some crazy colors… not the gay ass fuzion look… hate those shoes… worst jordan ever in my book….

  • ShaBoogie
