Air Jordan Running Sneakers Are Here to Stay

Jordan jumps out the gym and onto the track with its latest Flight Runner.

Jordan Brand's forays outside the world of basketball sneakers will continue with the new Jordan Flight Runner 2.

The model doesn't appear to be as pure a runner as the Jordan Flight Runner from last year though. The silhouette this time uses the Flight Flex patterning that debuted on the trainer of the same name from 2014, and even the copy paints it as a shoe that can prepare athletes "for any kind of workout." This mention along with the new tooling would make it seem like the Flight Runner and the Flex Trainer are being collapsed into one model, but the Flight Flex 2 spotted last year goes against that notion. The new Jordan Flight Runner will launch in the beginning of February for $120.
