Way back in August of 2017 we reported that the Jumpman Pro Strong would be returning in 2018. Well, it looks like one colorway has arrived early.
2018 marks twenty years since the Jumpman Pro Strong originally released. While tech specs are still unknown, the original version of the shoe was an Air Jordan 13 clone.
The Jumpman Pro Strong featured heel and forefoot Zoom Air, a carbon fiber midfoot shank, and a leather upper. It was heavier than the Air Jordan 13 and geared towards “strong” power players on the court like Vin Baker, the shoe’s signature endorser.
The Air Jordan Jumpman Pro Strong ‘Black/Varsity Red/White’ is available now at Shoe Palace for $140.
Are you excited to see the Jumpman Pro Strong return? This writer is waiting on the white/green/black colorway…

I never understood this shoe….stepped on the 13’s toes by being the same shoe per se.
But did they gut the tech like so many other Jordan retros?
Uhhh…they retried like five years ago…this is not the first time in twenty years…
I don’t believe I said they re-released for the very first time, I remember the last release quite well. Just mentioned that this is the 20th anniversary of the shoe.
