The Air Jordan 40 Arrives in Bold 'Dusty Rose' and Refined 'Blue Suede' Colorway
Name:Air Jordan 40 'Dusty Rose', Air Jordan 40 'Blue Suede'Colorway:Light Arctic Pink/Anthracite-Black, Light Armory Blue/Anthracite-BlackSKU:HM9931-600, HM9931-400MSRP:$205 USDRelease Date:September 20, August 20Where to Buy:Jordan Brand AsJordan Brandcontinues to build out the 40th signature model in Michael Jordan's iconic sneaker legacy, two new standout colorways are set to Air Jordan 40'Blue Suede' and 'Dusty Rose' will arrive just a month apart, each pushing the performance-driven silhouette in different visual directions while sharing the same tech-forward foundation. This marks the first Nike sneaker to pair full-length ZoomX foam with a Zoom Strobel unit, offering unmatched softness, responsiveness, and increased energy return — a major leap in cushioning designed for both explosive on-court play and long-wear comfort. Structural elements like 360-degree webbing, an asymmetrical collar, and a unique 40-degree traction pattern keeps the silhouette dynamic and performance-ready. The pairs offers subtle design nods to pastAir Jordan classics— from theAir Jordan 5inspired tongue to theAir Jordan 3style heel clip and reflective hits borrowed from theAir Jordan 13. The new '40' logo is stamped throughout, signaling the shoe's place in the evolving design. The 'Blue Suede', dropping August 20, leans cool and understated. It dresses the upper in a luxe Light Armory Blue suede that wraps the toebox and midfoot, paired with black nubuck overlays at the eyestays, collar, and heel. The contrast is sharp yet refined — sporty without being loud. Hints of blue gray bring subtle depth, while a crisp white midsole grounds the entire look and gives the blue standout. It's a clean, versatile pair that can be worn courtside or styled casually. While the 'Dusty Rose', set to release September 20, offers a bolder, more fashion-forward take. The upper comes fully saturated in a soft yet impactful Light Arctic Pink — applied across both patent and pebbled leather. The result is a rich, tone-on-tone finish that's monochromatic. The glossy patent elements catch the light and amplify the sculptural nature of the silhouette, while the textured leather adds depth. Black and Anthracite accents compliments the shoe, subtly grounding the design without pulling focus from the bold dusty rose hue. While both versions share the same structural DNA and performance benefits, they speak to entirely different aesthetics. Together, they show the range and potential of the Air Jordan 40 — a model that's clearly just getting started. The Air Jordan 40 'Blue Suede' is set to release August 20, 2025, followed by 'Dusty Rose' dropping on September 20th. Both pairs retail for $205 USD.
