The Air Jordan 40 finally landed over the Summer, and has quickly become our personal favorite of the more recent mainline AJ silhouettes. This week, we have an official look at a new “Bordeaux” style, coming soon.

The Air Jordan “Bordeaux” colorway first appeared in the 1992 Air Jordan 7, featuring a black and grey upper with Bordeaux accents. This unique design made it a standout, though Michael Jordan only wore it once during the 1992 NBA All-Star Game. The “Bordeaux” 7 retroed in 2011 and again in 2015, each time with slight variations in materials and construction. In 2021, the Bordeaux theme returned with the Air Jordan 6, combining black and grey tones with Bordeaux highlights, and was released in 2021. Later that year, the AJ1 OG “Bordeaux” dropped, offering a fresh take with Bordeaux overlays and metallic silver Swooshes.

Jordan Brand’s willingness to adapt their iconic colorways to different models has not dwindled. With the introduction of their new Air Jordan 40 this year, we’ve expected them to rehash some fan favorites, the first of which is coming this October. The latest pair of the AJ40 comes dressed in the classic Bordeaux theme, featuring the wine red shade across the shoe’s smooth, stitch-less upper. The laces, tongue, and midsoles come in their Burgundy Crush shade of red, while a dash of gold along the medial walls completes the look.
