A Whole Lotta Grey Appears on This Air Jordan 40; Releases Jan. 8

Jordan Brand's latest and greatest basketball sneaker, the Air Jordan 40, has been proving itself at every level of the sport over the last half-year. With 2026 fast-approaching, the silhouette is positioned to remain relevant in the new year.

Recently, the Zoom Air-cushioned Air Jordan design emerged in an understated, but versatile "Photon Dust/Flint Grey/Wolf Grey" color scheme. The model's toe cap opts for the darkest shade of the bunch, allowing the remainder of the sneaker to softer tones. A medley of different materials come together across the upper, but their light grey finishes create a uniform look.

Underfoot, the multi-directional traction pattern is divvied up between different presentations, with some sections donning semi-translucent, gum styling.

Enjoy a closer-look at the grey-heavy AJ40 ahead. Pairs are expected to hit Nike.com/Jordan and retailers like Foot Locker on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026.
