The Air Jordan 40 Arrives With A Swoosh On November 1

Jordan Brand’s latest model, the Air Jordan 40, arrives this fall in a colorway steeped in tradition. This pair features a White, Black, Sail, and Varsity Red scheme — a palette that has defined the Air Jordan line since its inception.

The design pulls directly from the franchise’s roots, most notably the Air Jordan 1. The iconic Wings logo sits on the collar, nodding to the shoe that started it all, while the addition of a lateral Swoosh makes history as the first-ever Air Jordan to carry Nike’s hallmark branding. Combined, the two elements merge past and present, creating a link between the earliest chapter of the Air Jordan story and its newest.

The upper comes dressed in smooth white leather with contrasting black hits on the toe bumper, heel counter, and Wings logo. Varsity Red animates the tongue branding and outsole, while a Sail midsole adds a vintage touch. Underfoot, the sneaker is equipped with ZoomX cushioning, ensuring lightweight responsiveness and stability, with a faceted black heel piece giving the silhouette a sharp modern edge.

The Air Jordan 40 “Chicago” will release on November 1st via Nike and select retailers. By pairing a heritage-driven colorway with a historic design first, this debut sets a new tone for the next era of Air Jordans.
