Men's Jordan Shoes & Sneakers

Which Men's Jordan Shoes & Sneakers Should You Choose?

Men's Jordan Shoes & Sneakers are mostly lifestyle pairs for everyday wear. A smaller set serves specific needs: basketball shoes such as the Jordan Triangle, baseball and football cleats for the field, and boots and a slide for other settings. For the rest of the brand, see Jordan sneakers.

• Air Jordan 1: One model in several collar heights: the Retro High OG, Mid, Low and Low OG. Choose by how much ankle coverage you want.
• Air Jordan 4: The Jordan 4 Retro, such as the "Comic," which Nike lists with visible Nike Air cushioning, or the Jordan 4 RM, which blends the side wings, lace area and heel into a flexible cage. Choose the Retro for the original look with visible Air, or the RM for a reworked shape.
• Jordan Spizike Low: Nike says it takes elements of five classic Jordans, with Nike Air underfoot and a solid rubber outsole. Choose it to wear several classic Jordan details in one low-cut pair.

What Makes Men's Jordan Sneakers Unique?

A few men's Jordan Retro models tie their design to Michael Jordan's career. The Jordan 6 Retro brings back the model he wore when he claimed his first championship, the Jordan 8 Retro returns a design that debuted during the 1992-93 championship season, and the Jordan Sixty Plus Low combines the classic Jordans he wore in his five 60-plus point games.

How to Pick the Right Pair of Men's Jordans

For a single model, compare men's Air Jordan 1 or men's Air Jordan 4 styles side by side.

• Everyday wear: Most pairs are lifestyle sneakers. A low-top keeps the collar under the ankle bone, while mid and high cuts give more coverage.
• Basketball: For the court, choose the Jordan Triangle, which Nike lists as a basketball shoe, with a lightweight mesh upper and a HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech) outsole.
• Field: The Jordan 1 Retro MCS is a baseball cleat, and the Jordan 1 Mid TD, Jordan 1 Low TD and Legacy 312 Low TD are football cleats.
• Boots: The Air Jordan 9 Retro Boot turns the AJ9 into a rugged boot with a high collar and reflective laces.

What Are the Men's Jordan Shoes & Sneakers Tech Specs?

Everyday Cushioning and Uppers in Men's Jordan Sneakers

For a springier step, the Jordan 12 Retro and Jordan 13 Retro use Air Zoom cushioning, which Nike links to a quick-off-the-ground sensation, while the Jordan Sixty Plus Low uses Max Air. For a structured leather upper, the Jordan DMSN 95 sets leather around a flexible comfort collar and the Jordan Flight Court combines leather with textile panels. For a mesh build, the Jordan Trunner O/S mixes mesh with molded plastic wings at the midfoot.

Outsoles and Traction on Men's Everyday Jordans

The Jordan Spizike Low rests on a solid rubber outsole for durability and traction, and the Air Jordan 1 Mid uses a rubber outsole with a pivot circle.

The Jordan Triangle for Basketball

Nike lists the Jordan Triangle as a basketball shoe, with Cushlon 3.0 foam, ZoomX and Air Zoom cushioning, a lightweight mesh upper for airflow and a HART outsole.

Cleats, Boots and the Slide

The Jordan 1 Retro MCS baseball cleat pairs a synthetic leather upper and a foam midsole with a cleated TPU plate, and the Jordan 1 Mid TD football cleat has wide stud placement. On the Jordan Hydro 4 Retro slide, flex grooves are cut into the sole beneath a dual-injection foam footbed.

What Colorways Do Men's Jordan Sneakers Come In?

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG shows two directions: Black/Game Royal/White as the "Royal," true to the 1985 debut pair, and Shadow Brown/Team Red/British Tan as the "Love Letter," in nubuck leather and soft suede. The Jordan 4 Retro adds lighter looks in White/Tour Yellow/Dark Blue Grey/Black and Off White/Fire Pink/Anthracite. The Jordan 7 Retro "Tennis Day" sets Lime Blast and Pink Blast on Phantom/Anthracite, and the Jordan 12 Retro "Fireside" sets Cacao Wow overlays on a Light Orewood Brown base.
