Jordan Air Mae “Celestine Blue” Arrives October 6th

Despite the heavy focus on Jordan Brand’s heritage line, the Jumpman has never been afraid to break the shackles of their retrospective roots with modern, forward-thinking design. Of course, the brand still can’t completely break free from its past, with the brand’s DNA seeming to always find a way to shine through (just look at the recently-revealed Point Lane silhouette). This new women’s model, the Jordan Air Mae, is another example of how Jordan’s future and past often collide, with an obvious focus on the brand’s recent Flight Utility format infused with Air Jordan 3 ancestry.

Starting with the 1988 inspirations, the pair brings in a similar shape, with more obvious callouts at the perforated collar and sweeping mudguard. Rear overlays take a familiar form, mimicking the 88’s signature’s back tabs, too. From there, we can see Flight Utility themes roll in through lightweight, technical uppers, militaristic tongues, laces, and pulls all of which arrive in the titular coloring — and external text and numerals that channel FU models past. Underfoot is a moon boot-like tread, with heavy-duty traction, and Air Max Plus-like 7-bubble Air systems beneath.

A release date for this Jordan Air Mae “Celestine Blue” has been confirmed by Nike US for October 6th, so if you’re planning on picking up a pair on the day, make sure you head to our dedicated Jordan Release Dates Calendar to set yourself a reminder for the drop.
