Back with a new twist, the Jordan Alpha Trunner revises one of Jordan Brand’s most successful training shoes and emphasizes a renewed push towards high performance off-season footwear.

The now classic silhouette remains, bolstered in 2010 with advanced cushioning and stabilizing technology to strike the perfect balance of lateral training and running.

We spoke to Justin Taylor, seasoned Jordan Brand designer, about the process behind his innovations for the shoe.

The first Undefeated for Converse Poorman Weapon shoe launched exactly one year ago today, January 24, 2009, in black. It was then followed-up with an olive version in May 2009 as UNDFTD’s celebration of US Armed Forces Day. This is the third installment of the shoe in navy that features the same bomber jacket nylon upper, removable velcro logos and orange lining. Again, the midsole carries an UNDFTD logo and the overall look is perfect. This time around the sneaker is accompanied by both a matching MA-1 Flight Jacket and Flight Helmet Bag.

The navy UNDFTD for Converse Poorman Weapon shoes launch globally on January 29, 2010.
