As we said, the Jordan Brand Flight Tour will also introduce China-specific editions of the trio’s signature shoes, taking inspiration from Chinese Opera Masks as well as each athlete’s style of play. These three performance silos within the newly launched “Flight” architecture include Air (Dwyane Wade), Quick (Chris Paul) and Explosive (Carmelo Anthony), otherwise known as Fly Over (Air), Fly Around (Quick) and Fly Through (Explosive).
The Jordan Fly Wade is Dwyane Wade’s first signature shoe with Jordan Brand. The Flight Tour edition captivates Wade’s sophistication, craftiness and unassuming ability to create space over any competitor. The shoe features a purple, red and black colorway. The purple used represents Wade’s sophistication of the game. The red symbolizes the courage and devotion Wade puts into his game each and every day. Black represents Wade’s bold and fierce characteristics while the yellow accent portrays Wade’s never-ending ambition. With panther-like sense, Wade soars smoothly in air and is ready to “pounce” with force and ferociousness while playing his game.
The Jordan Fly Wade Flight Tour edition will be available in Hong Kong (7/27), Chengdu (7/29), Hangzhou (7/31), and Beijing (8/2), for a suggested retail price of ¥ 1199.
The Jordan CP3.IV is a state-of-the-art performance basketball shoe built to aid CP’s quickness and agility on the court. The Flight Tour edition features a blue, yellow, white, and red colorway that highlights Paul’s crazy handle and smooth, but quick characteristics. The white in the shoe represents CP’s crafty yet sinister element of his game. The blue is used to exhibit CP’s astute yet fierceness on the court. Yellow symbolizes CP’s ambition but ability to stay cool-headed and the red accent shows CP’s continued loyalty and courage to the development of his craft. CP is crafty, smart and intense and with a colorway match such as this, CP will surely burn past any competition.
The Jordan CP3.IV Flight Tour edition will be available in Hong Kong (7/27), Chengdu (7/29), Hangzhou (7/31), and Beijing (8/2), for a suggested retail price of ¥ 999.
The Jordan Melo M7 Advance is Carmelo Anthony’s seventh signature shoe with Jordan Brand and first Jordan performance shoe to feature Flywire technology. The shoe represents versatility and mimics Melo’s senses of knowing when to attack and take advantage of a situation. With a green, black and white colorway for the Flight Tour edition, the Jordan Melo M7 Advance takes Chinese inspiration to capture Melo’s persona into the shoe. Green represents Melo’s impulsiveness while the black represents Melo’s fierce and rough nature on the court. The white detail in the shoe portrays the craftiness of Melo’s game. The red is used to accent the shoe and symbolizes Melo’s courage and loyalty to the game. With a color combination such as this, fire will definitely explode through an explosive game.
The Jordan Melo M7 Advance Flight Tour edition will be available in Hong Kong (7/27), Chengdu (7/29), Hangzhou (7/31), and Beijing (8/2), for a suggested retail price of ¥ 1099.
