The Jordan Sophia Slide "Rattan" Features Jacquard Details

Despite its focus on performance basketball, Jordan Brand has become a global lifestyle brand throughout its 40-year history. As such, it's constantly looking to bring His Airness' winning legacy and influence to products for other sports and fashion. The Jordan Sophia Slide forms part of the latter group, delivering off-court style for longtime and new fans of the NBA legend.

Recently, the Women's-exclusive design emerged in an understated "Rattan" makeover. While unassuming in color scheme, the pair features an eye-catching, near-mesmerizing jacquard fabric around the forefoot cover. At quick glance, the component resembles the iconic all-over monogram prints often associated with Gucci, Fendi, and other luxury brands. The Jumpman team's proposal might not be as premium as those of these brands, but it's of high-quality and style.

Air Jordan text appears on the patterned fabric, cementing the pair of slides in the storied legacy of Michael Jordan. A diamond-like shape appears all throughout the textile piece, with the single-piece footbed also featuring the shape. It's likely the latter element includes the raised pattern to help with grip.
