Before MJ stepped on the court in red and black, he was making championship-winning jump shots wearing blue and white. We're celebrating MJ's college days with a blue so crisp it might look better today than it did 40 years ago. But while the design of this AJ39 throws it back, these shoes are anything but old-school. Engineered for today's game, they come packed with court-ready tech to help you start building a legacy all your own.

All Play With No Crash
We added a crash pad at the instep to help hold your foot in place and keep your toes from slamming into the toe box. After all, just because MJ lost a few toenails doesn't mean you should have to.
Zoom Into Comfort
ZoomX foam, Nike's lightest high-efficiency foam, conforms to the natural shape of your foot to give you soft and springy cushioning without weighing you down. We paired it with a full-length Air Zoom unit for snappy energy return.
Rock Solid
Remember MJ's cross step? Of course you do. It influenced this shoe from the sole up. A built-in sidewall cupsole helps provide stability during lateral movements and allows for full engagement of the underfoot cushioning.
