Air Jordan XXXIX "University" Basketball shoes

Before MJ stepped onto the court in red and black, he was wearing blue and white and draining championship-winning jumpers. We honored MJ's college days with a crisp blue that might look better today than it did 40 years ago. While the design of this AJ39 has a retro vibe, these shoes are anything but old-school. They're built for today's game and loaded with court-ready technology to help you start building your own legend.

Play without Crashing

We added a crash pad to the instep to help keep your foot in place and prevent your toes from hitting the toe box. After all, just because MJ lost a few toenails doesn't mean you have to.

Zoomed Comfort

ZoomX foam is Nike's lightest, efficient foam that molds to the natural shape of your foot, giving you soft, springy cushioning without weighing you down. We paired it with a full-length Air Zoom unit for fast energy return.

Solid as a Rock

Remember MJ's crossover step? Of course you do. It influenced this shoe, starting with the sole. Built-in sidewall cupsole helps provide stability during lateral movements and allows for full underfoot cushioning.
