Jordan Flight Court: Where Hoops Culture Meet Skater Culture

Jan 27, 2025

Its name derives from the Jumpman’s hardwood origins, but this newest Jordan shoe reimagines Flight in a different way — with the skater crowd. Here’s everything you need to know about the Jordan Flight Court, from its brief history and inspo to standout colorways. 

The Jordan Flight Court Gets Its Fashion Debut

The Jordan Flight Court Gets Its Fashion Debut

The Jordan Flight Court release date wasn’t until late 2024 when it first surfaced during NYC’s Fashion Week, and sneakerheads hyped the new model. In fact, the New York-based brand WHO DECIDES WAR unveiled their take on the Jordan Flight Court during this event — a black shoe with a plush, velvety sockliner, Varsity Red appointments and an embroidered inner label proclaiming “The World Is Your Court.”

A Technical Mashup of Influences

The Jordan Flight Court series builds on the legacy of the Air Jordan line, focusing on performance-driven design tailored for basketball players and sneaker enthusiasts. With a lineage inspired by Michael Jordan’s game-changing influence on and off the court, these sneakers aim to deliver the perfect balance of aesthetics and utility. Specifically influenced by basketball shoes and skater shoes from the early 2000s, the Jordan Flight Court relies on the following features: 

Inspo from Previous Models 

Plenty of Jordan heritage comes packed into the Flight Court, with subtle nods to the Air Jordans 3, 4 and 5. 

Padded Silhouette 

Inspired by early 2000s skate shoes, the bulked-up padding offers a throwback vibe that keeps feet comfy for all-day wear. 

Durable Materials 

The Jordan Flight Court relies on materials such as premium and synthetic leather, suede and textile panels that make it tough enough for the court or the skate park. 

Cushioning & Traction 

Lightweight foam cushioning infuses the shoe with comfort, while a flat rubber outsole provides the grip anyone needs on the paint or the half-pipe.

The low cut Flight Court series lands in a variety of colorways, whether bright and bold is your thing or you prefer the look of delicate pastels. Plus, these Jordans are a bit easier on your wallet compared to some of the brand’s other silhouettes. Here are a few street-ready color schemes: 

  • A richly saturated green upper is the star of any outfit when you lace up a pair of the “Malachite” Jordan Flight Courts. The Sail and Muslin midsole and outsole combo gives the sneaker a distinct vintage look, while Infrared stitching and eyelets add to the boldness of the colorway. 
  • For a lighter touch, try a pastel “Hydrogen Blue/University Blue” makeup with its soft suede, smooth leather and textiles that give that cozy vibe. 
  • With its black upper featuring red appointments and a gum outsole, the Jordan Flight Court “Black/Varsity Red/Gum Med Brown” shoe has a similar aesthetic to the WHO DECIDES WAR launch.
