Which Purple Jordans Should You Choose?
Purple Jordans cover a wide span of Jordan styles for everyday wear, including mid-top retro shapes, low-cut lifestyle pairs and a sandal. They come in men's, women's and kids' sizes. For the wider family, see Jordan sneakers.
- Jordan 12 Retro: The men's "Idols Become Rivals" pair sets a premium leather upper over Air Zoom cushioning.
- Jordan 4 Retro: The grade school "Imperial Purple" pair wraps its upper in premium nubuck and adds Max Air cushioning.
- Jordan MVP 92: A low-top that reimagines the AJ7 with a padded, low-cut collar, made in girls' grade school and men's sizes.
- Jordan Hydrip: A girls' slip-on sandal made from one piece of molded foam, with an adjustable strap that can be removed.
What Makes Purple Jordan Sneakers Unique?
The Spizike Low takes a remix approach. Offered in preschool boys' and women's sizes, it blends pieces of five earlier Jordans into one shoe and pays tribute to Spike Lee.
How to Pick the Right Jordans in Purple
Size group, fastening, upper and type of shoe shape the choice. For collar height, the purple Air Jordan 1 styles let you compare a mid and a low cut of the same classic, while the purple Air Jordan 4 styles fit when the nubuck AJ4 is the shape you want.
- Size group: Purple pairs for children run through toddler (US 1-10), preschool (US 10.5-3) and grade school (US 3.5-7) sizes, so place the child by a fresh foot measurement rather than by age.
- Easy on for young kids: The preschool Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn pairs a collapsible heel with a hook-and-loop strap, and the preschool Spizike Low also closes with a strap.
- Upper material: Pick premium nubuck on the AJ4 "Imperial Purple," premium leather on the men's Jordan 12 Retro, or suede on the men's Jordan Session, which Nike says gains vintage character with wear.
- Sneaker or sandal: The girls' Jordan Hydrip is a slip-on sandal of molded foam, so choose it for a quick-to-wear pair rather than a laced sneaker.
What Are the Purple Jordans Tech Specs?
Cushioning in Purple Jordan Shoes by Model
The men's Jordan 12 Retro uses Air Zoom cushioning, and the grade school Jordan 4 Retro "Imperial Purple" uses Max Air, which Nike describes as plush. The girls' grade school Jordan MVP 92 pairs Nike Air with a foam midsole, and the preschool Jordan Spizike Low relies on soft foam to cushion small feet.
Leather, Nubuck and Suede on Purple Jordan Uppers
The grade school Jordan 4 Retro "Imperial Purple" wraps its upper in premium nubuck, while the girls' grade school Jordan MVP 92 combines real and synthetic leather, which Nike says adds durability and structure. For adults, the men's Jordan 12 Retro uses a premium leather upper and the men's Jordan Session uses suede.
Molded Foam on the Girls' Jordan Hydrip Sandal
The Hydrip is made from a single piece of foam that Nike calls sturdy yet supportive, with an adjustable strap you can remove altogether and rubber pods on the outsole for durability.
What Colorways Do Purple Jordan Shoes Come In?
Deep purple leads on the Jordan 4 Retro "Imperial Purple," with University Gold hits, and on the girls' Jordan 1 Mid in Purple/White. On adult pairs, purple works as an accent: the men's Jordan 12 Retro "Idols Become Rivals" comes in Summit White/Gorge Green/Fierce Purple, and the women's Jordan 10 Retro "Hydrangeas" sets hydrangea purple accents on an off-white base. Grape and violet shades run through the girls' Jordan MVP 92 and Jordan 23/7.2 EasyOn, while purple-and-pink mixes appear on the Jordan 1 Mid SE and Jordan 1 Low.
Purple Jordan Key Terms
- Nubuck - Top-grain leather finished with a light sanding for a soft feel.

Purple Jordans FAQs
What Is the Difference Between Mid and Low Purple Jordan Sneakers?
A mid-top rises higher around the ankle, while a low-top sits below it. On the girls' grade school Jordan 1 Mid, Nike adds a padded collar at that higher cut.
Do Purple Jordan Shoes Run True to Size?
Sizing can vary from one model to the next, so check the Hibbett size chart before you order.
How Does the Purple Jordan Hydrip Sandal for Girls Stay on the Foot?
Nike says the Hydrip's textured footbed helps hold the foot in place, and its padded heel strap adjusts for a closer fit.
What Are Purple Jordans Designed For?
Nike presents these pairs as retro and lifestyle styles for everyday wear, and the men's Jordan Session takes its style from skateboarding.
How Do You Clean Purple Jordan Pairs?
Brush off dry dirt first, then work a small amount of mild detergent in warm water over leather and textile areas. Nike suggests a dry suede brush instead of soap on suede, and every pair should dry at room temperature. Skip the washing machine, as Nike's shoe care guide advises.
