The Jordan Trunner has always lived at the intersection of performance and possibility. First introduced in the late '90s, it was the Jordan brand's bold step beyond basketball—a slip-on cross-trainer with midfoot straps, layered uppers, and a design language that looked more like the future than the present. The latest Trunner carries that same DNA, fusing breathable mesh and suede for flexibility, molded wings for support, and responsive foam for all-day comfort. Still versatile, still unmistakable, the Trunner remains the rare shoe built to keep pace with training while doubling as a lifestyle staple grounded in Jordan's restless drive forward.
