Interest in Jordan Brand’s retro lineup has waned in recent years, as mesh runners and comfort-focused silhouettes have become increasingly popular amongst sneakerheads and fashion circles. Leaning into this trend is the Jordan Trunner O/S, an all-new dad shoe-esque lifestyle silhouette that has emerged in a handful of different color schemes over the last few months. Following an official look at the University Red pair that Jalen Hurts debuted, the Jordan Trunner O/S gets a stealthy Black makeover.
Part of the revival of the Jordan Trunner series, which dates back to the 2000s, when Jordan Brand began to experiment with cross-training and running sneakers, the model combines DNA from the Trunner lineup, performance basketball sneakers of the ‘90s, and more modern runners. The upper is a mixture of mesh and suede, all coated in black hues. Along the midfoot sits a textured cage derived from the Jumpman Team 1.
