The Academy is a lifestyle offering from Jordan Brand which takes cues from the Jordan 3 and becomes a comfortable off-court option. I received my pair from Champs Sports.
It features a mesh upper and synthetic leather heel and tongue details. Hints of the Air Jordan 3 can be seen in the midsole and shape of the tongue. The Academy is a comfortable sneaker right out of the box. It is lightweight, and the mesh upper and foam midsole with an encapsulated heel Air unit offers exceptional comfort. If you are looking for a new lifestyle pair and don’t want to break the bank, you will want to look at the Jordan Academy.
You can grab a pair at Champs Sports (here) for $125.
IMO Looks more like they are taking cues more from Brandblack with the J.Crossover
I see what you’re saying. Actually I was thinking of the Kyrie 1 when I see the back section.
Kinda true but just the indentations in the leather is what makes me think brandblack since they both have similar setups of synthetic leather in the back and mesh/woven in the front.
+1
Looks li-ning to me.
For the same price i prefer the NMDs.
