If you’re a fan of more obscure Jordan Brand silhouettes, the upcoming Jordan Trunner LX Corduroy W should definitely be on your radar. Sure, it’s nowhere near as hyped as the Air Jordan 1 High or the Air Jordan 4, but OG Jumpman fans will immediately understand the significance of this mythical model and why its comeback matters.
First introduced in the late ’90s, the Jordan Trunner was originally touted as a cross-training shoe and famously worn by boxing star Roy Jones Jr. during workouts. Designed to blur the line between performance and lifestyle, it quickly developed a cult following. Despite disappearing from shelves for years, it briefly resurfaced in 2017, including an ultra-limited Travis Scott friends-and-family collab.
Jordan Trunner LX Corduroy W
This Trunner LX swaps its usual rugged construction for softer, friendlier materials. A breathable mesh base is overlaid with quilted fabric across the midfoot, while minty corduroy wraps the tongue and collar sections for a tactile twist. Canvas pull tabs make on-and-off a breeze, and the model’s signature Velcro straps return to deliver that signature lockdown fit. bright ceramic “Jordan” branding is also stamped throughout for a subtle pop.
Down below, the chunky midsole comes in clean summit white, supported by a Gum Medium Brown outsole for durability and grip. To finish things off, 3M reflective accents ensure the sneaker shines even when the lights are low.
What really makes this pair exciting is how well it works as a modern lifestyle shoe. The Trunner LX was always designed with versatility in mind, and this special edition proves it still holds up decades later. By softening its fabrics and refreshing the palette, Jordan Brand has reintroduced a model that feels retro yet completely relevant for everyday wear – the kind of sneaker you can train in, lounge in, or style up without compromise.
The Jordan Trunner LX Corduroy W is scheduled to release during Holiday 2025. Made exclusively in women’s sizes, it will retail for $130 at Nike online and select retailers worldwide. For your best chance to cop, make sure you grab Sole Retriever's mobile app.
