Jordan Brand has officially unveiled the Jordan Ultra.Fly, a shoe made for Jimmy Butler and his upcoming Playoff run.
The shoe looks like it’ll be a beast on-court, and that’s sort of what it’s inspired by. Not a beast per say, but the black cat that MJ was known to be called on-court. The Jordan Ultra.Fly shares some material similarities with the Nike LeBron 13 Elite, which I found to be interesting, and they’re moderately priced as well.
If you wanted to know all the details on what the shoe is about, when it will release, and its retail price then make sure you check out the press release below. WearTesters will be doing a performance review on the shoe as well so make sure you stay tuned for that.
Anyone interested in the Jordan Ultra.Fly? We’ve got a couple of new colorways below that don’t look half bad. Let us know what you think in the comment section.
Press Release Via Jordan Brand
Michael Jordan heightened his intensity during playoffs. His agile, graceful, and ultimately deadly play earned him the nickname ‘Black Cat,’ a nod to his unmatched capacity to assess the flow of the game and strike with purpose when the time was right.
Inspired by MJ’s infamous nickname, Jordan Brand unveils the Jordan Ultra.Fly, featuring a Kurim material overlay which takes cues from the black cat. This overlay forms a cage-like upper delivering a custom fit with flexible structure. Its design follows a pattern that mimics the coat of a spotted leopard.
Jimmy Butler will debut the Jordan Ultra.Fly on-court this week.
The Jordan Ultra.Fly will be available in three colorways on Jordan.com and in select retail locations April 2 for a suggested retail price of $125.
I’m loving the look of the shoe! Should be a good performer.
Waiting on the review on these. They look like a replacement for my XX9’s and at that price it makes it look even better.
2010
great looking shoe. waiting to see how these review on court
Yeah pretty interested in these. The space jams look money. Keen to know more about the midsole/heel cushion tho
The space jam cw is clean. Def pick up when I get some coupons
If they have the same cushioning set up as the CP3.9 Hopefully they’re not a let down, that articulated zoom looks good but being bottom loaded you don’t feel the bounce
I gotta be honest, if they gave this at least a synthetic leather upper, nubuck tongue, some patent overlays, this could be a main sig for someone. This is a classic silhouette.
Looks like the Kyrie 2 without the strap, and I really like the Kyrie 2s. Maybe this shoe has the cushion that is lacking in the Kyries. If these perform, I’m in.
These look like a workhorse of a shoe if the traction works.
I love the idea of articulated zoom, but from reports of the CP3, the execution leaves something to be desired. Hopefully they improved it with this one- maybe made it thicker and raised it on the outsole so it compresses better.
These look interesting. Not excited about the cushioning setup. Why can’t we get an M11 forefoot bag with a nice heel zoom bag? I’d pay $150 for that (similar to the XX8 SEs)….
looks interesting. the upper texture kinda reminds me of freddy kruger’s face…
Looking forward to seeing you fellas review these
Very interesting. The forefoot zoom appears to be yanked straight out from the CP3 IX. But like the review of the IX noted, what good is bottom loaded zoom without the flight plate?
The outsole looks wicked in its simplicity. However, the herringbone is very close together and shallow from the pictures, which will make them awful on dirty courts, and wear out very fast on outdoor courts.
The upper doesn’t do anything for me, and its just another shoe from Nike with a cartoon sized logo on it.
Until the review comes out, I’ll pass.
Dope as hell reminds me a little bit on the jordan 2011 and 2012. These already sold out in a few minutes in germany.
The shape of the shoe and midsole look just like the Jordan 2011. Obviously the tooling is different. So far I have not been a fan of the second generation of the big Zoom units, no bounce to them. This shoe has potential but I sense it will be a disappointment. I also wish JB continued something along the lines of the 14.5. It was nothing special to look at it but the cushioning was awesome.
