Jordan Jumpman Pro - Men's

The Beginning of a New Era

The Men’s Jordan Jumpman Pro is a historic model in Air Jordan sneaker history. Released in 1997, it was the very first model under the newly-founded Jordan Brand, after Michael Jordan and Nike decided to create a stand-alone brand for all Air Jordan products. It was also the first non-numbered Jordan shoe released in the “Team Jordan” line of models to complement the annual flagship Air Jordan. With its clean look and great performance, the Jumpman Pro was a popular model in ‘97 on the court at every level of play. It remains one of the most celebrated Jordan team models to this day, eagerly welcomed by collectors any time it returns as a retro release.

Classic Design

If you know your Air Jordans, the Jumpman Pro will likely look familiar to you. In fact, its design is very reminiscent of one of the most beloved Air Jordan models of all time, the Air Jordan 12. Released in the same year as the twelfth Air Jordan, the Jumpman Pro also features a full-grain leather upper with Zoom Air cushioning and a midfoot shank for support. And just like the Air Jordan 12, it’s a classic, must-have piece of any Air Jordan collection. As a retro release, the Jumpman Pro is available in original colorways, as well as all-new looks for a fresh new spin on the silhouette. Don’t miss out on this important piece of Air Jordan heritage.

Court Feel & Traction

Reviewers frequently call out the grip, lightweight feel, and ankle support, giving the shoe a stable, controlled ride. The herringbone outsole helps keep traction consistent, while the heel Zoom Air adds impact protection for everyday movement and light runs on court.

Break-In & Durability
