Jordan Brand Unveils the Triangle Basketball Shoe

The Jordan Triangle is a new basketball shoe engineered for the modern game.

Jordan Brand has a star-studded roster of signature athletes in addition to the iconic Air Jordan flagship line. But a new generation of hoopers playing at a faster pace than ever demands a new shoe that is built on the ideals that helped Michael Jordan take flight.

Today, Jordan Brand unveiled the Triangle basketball shoe. Legendary coaches Phil Jackson and Tex Winter's principles of the triangle offense inspired the shoe—a free-flowing system rooted in movement, spacing, and trust.

Design Inspiration

While the game has changed a lot since Jordan ran the Triangle Offense to perfection, the key elements of the revolutionary system are more important than ever. The shoe supports players who create with and without the ball. Positionless by nature, Triangle is made for all five spots on the floor and every level of competition.

The silhouette is more than an homage to Jordan and Jackson; it is an innovative model that sustains athletes through the rhythm of the game. It is built for energy efficiency and long-lasting responsiveness.

Performance Technology

At a $140 price point, Triangle stands apart by combining two of NIKE, Inc.'s most elite cushioning technologies: ZoomX foam in the forefoot with Air Zoom in the heel. The result is a ride that balances explosive responsiveness with plush comfort.

A carbon fiber-inspired woven upper delivers lightweight structure and durability, while a lateral shank provides stability. Underfoot, Hart Rubber 2.0 traction ensures reliable grip across a variety of court surfaces. The low-cut profile offers freedom of movement without sacrificing support, making it a true all-position option built for versatility.

Release Information

The Jordan Triangle launches globally on July 2 in three bold colorways: Volt-Infrared, Baltic Blue, and Hyper Punch. The retail price is $140 in adult sizes at Jordan.com. Each of the three launch colorways takes inspiration from high-visibility expression. 

The new shoe will also play a role in exclusive grassroots-inspired colorways tied to iconic streetball tournaments, Quai 54, Next Stop Dongdan, and NY vs NY (and those colorways will be available for sale in their respective markets).
