Air Jordan 39 No Alteration
Buy at Nike
Even well past his retirement, Michael Jordan still blesses the world with new performance basketball sneakers under Jordan Brand. No, we’re not talking about the various signature athletes or inline releases, but numerical Air Jordans that began with the Air Jordan 1 in 1985. While we’re awaiting info on the Air Jordan 40, which will fittingly be released during the brand’s 40th Anniversary in 2025, new colorways of the Air Jordan 39 have emerged, including the No Alteration rendition.
Like other pairs of the AJ 39, this iteration sees a neutral color scheme with pops of color on select portions of the upper. For the base, Jordan Brand applies a sail-shaded knit with a tonal camouflage-esque pattern derived from wear-testing a painted Air Jordan 29. More sail hits come on the leather paneling near the toe, the perforated tongue, and the collar and sockliner.
