Air Jordan 40 "Light Arctic Pink" HM9931-600

The Air Jordan 40 “Light Arctic Pink” arrives as a milestone release, marking four decades of Jordan Brand with a design that pays tribute to the past while pushing innovation further than ever. Premium patent and tumbled leather dress the upper in bold shades of pink, setting a high-energy tone that instantly turns heads. Subtle nods to heritage run throughout: the heel counter references the AJ3 and AJ4 with the iconic “Nike Air” callout, while the tongue construction draws inspiration from the Jordan 5.

Where the AJ40 truly breaks new ground is underfoot. For the first time, Nike stacks a full-length Zoom Strobel unit directly on top of ZoomX foam. This unprecedented cushioning setup creates a ride that’s both responsive and plush, made to withstand marathon sessions on the hardwood. Internal straps help lock the foot in place, offering secure containment without compromising flexibility.

Traction also gets a rethink, with a unique herringbone pattern engineered to support quick cuts and sudden stops. Whether attacking the basket or pulling up for a jumper, grip stays consistent. The double-layered cushioning ensures energy return with every stride, while the sturdy build reinforces durability for heavy use.

The Air Jordan 40 “Light Arctic Pink” isn’t just a celebration—it’s a statement. It blends legacy details with groundbreaking technology, showing how far the line has come since 1985 while hinting at where it’s heading next.
