Air Jordan XXXIX "Baron"

When MJ traded in the hardwood for the baseball diamond, he was returning to one of his first loves. We're celebrating that dedication to sport in this AJ39. Black and ivory nod to the jersey he wore while light gray accents on the upper evoke dirt settling on cleats—a visual reminder of MJ running the bases in pursuit of a lifelong dream.

All Play With No Crash

We added a crash pad at the instep to help hold your foot in place and keep your toes from slamming into the toe box. After all, just because MJ lost a few toenails doesn't mean you should have to.

Zoom Into Comfort

ZoomX foam, Nike's lightest high-efficiency foam, conforms to the natural shape of your foot to give you soft and springy cushioning without weighing you down. We paired it with a full-length Air Zoom unit for snappy energy return.

Rock Solid

Remember MJ's cross step? Of course you do. It influenced this shoe from the sole up. A built-in sidewall cupsole helps provide stability during lateral movements and allows for full engagement of the underfoot cushioning.
