The Ultimate Jordan "Skate Shoe" Is Born
After cooking up its own Hydrip "Crocs" and Lor "dad shoes," the Jordan Brand continues to expand its reach, introducing yet another skate-flavored sneaker.
However, the latest ain't like the RM and Flight Court models, which look skate-ready. The Jordan Session may be a legit skate shoe, judging by its appearance and build.
The name, Session, alone screams skateboarding. In the thrasher world, sessions are usually when skaters, well, skate, taking that dedicated time to perfect their skills, practice their tricks, or even simply just have fun with it.
At the same, the Jordan Session has the skate shoe look down pat. General chunky, padded build? Check. Low-top vibe? Also yes. Fat and flat shoelaces? Alright, this Jordan shoe is definitely a skate shoe, if not super heavily inspired by traditional thrash-able models.
The Session sneaker maintains a lot of its Jordan-ness, of course, featuring several classic logos throughout. Not to mention, the Session is complete with a flat and somewhat rugged sole that balances the line's basketball roots plus this newfound skate-readiness.
The Jordan Session is set to debut in a few nice colorways, including black, white, blue, and pink. And if I'm being quite honest, the pink pair looks very similar to Lanvin's Curb sneaker, the luxury label's once-everywhere, ultra-chunky, skate-coded sneaker.
But nah, this is a Jumpman "skate shoe."
The Jordan Brand hasn't officially announced its Session as its all-new skate model (actually, the brand hasn't yet formally introduced the shoe at all). However, the Jordan-branded steppers are expected to skate in sometime this year at Nike.
What's more, the Jordan Session won't break the bank. The shoes are anticipated to drop for a cool $90. Between its wallet-friendly price tag and trendy skate flavoring (a stylishly luxe look, too), the Jordan Session could be the brand's next hot-ticket item when it drops.
