For the first time since Air Jordan 1 was released in 1985, the Jordan brand has introduced its first running shoe. The Jordan Flight Runner shares some of the same technology in Nike running shoes, including increased heel support and cushioning. The Jordan Flight Runner debuted on the feet of Jordan Brand’s NCAA
teams – University of North Carolina, Georgetown University, Marquette
University, and University of California at Berkeley – before the
selections of the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament.
 
“The Jordan Flight Runner combines ultra-supportive Dynamic Fit technology and iconic Nike Zoom cushioning,” according to a press release. “Providing the ultimate ride for training and conditioning, the Jordan Flight Runner helps prepare top-flight athletes of any sport. This versatile running shoe features an advanced heat-and-pressure fusion process – creating a strong, exceptionally lightweight bond. Fused mesh in the forefoot provides ventilation, while the welded shroud creates a sleek, streamlined look. With an emphasis on heel support and responsive cushioning, the Jordan Flight Runner helps keep the foot in place upon landing and provides comfortable stability for bigger, stronger athletes.”
