The Air Jordan 40 is a landmark model for Jordan Brand. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the brand and putting a round number on the ongoing legacy, the AJ 40 has been one of the most successful modern numbered models in recent memory, thanks in large part to a series of self-referential hybrid pairs. Continuing the fold-over 4028 hybrid heat, the latest colorway is covered in a mix of black patent and stretchy knit.
The Air Jordan 4028 Black Metallic Gold follows an on-court debut of a Paolo Banchero PE pair, followed by a Black and Volt colorway that made history on the feet of Bam Adebayo during his historic 83-point game. Finally, the latest 4028 we’ve seen is another PE, this time in denim for Rui Hachimora.

Beneath the shroud is your normal Air Jordan 40, featuring a mesh tongue, its traditional construction, and cushioning setup including ZoomX and Zoom Strobel.
