Jordan Brand expands the Air Jordan 40 lineup with the “4028” colorway, a design that draws a direct link between the Air Jordan 40 and the Air Jordan 28. The shoe continues the broader rollout that marks four decades of the Air Jordan series. Over forty iterations, the line has shaped one of the most recognizable signature sneaker catalogs in sport and fashion.

Recent releases within the Air Jordan 40 series already connect past and present. A hybrid design referencing the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” introduced one interpretation of this approach. Another pair referenced the Air Jordan 14 “Ferrari,” drawing attention through its bold visual direction. Each release revisits familiar elements and translates them into the structure of the current model. The “4028” edition continues this strategy by pairing the Air Jordan 40 with design cues drawn from the Air Jordan 28.
The defining feature of the “4028” colorway appears through the zippered shroud that covers the upper. This element references the Air Jordan 28 and introduces a distinctive structural component to the sneaker. The shroud carries a “23” marking that connects the design to Michael Jordan’s iconic jersey number.
The zipper shroud features a Barely Volt green tone that contrasts with the rest of the shoe. Metallic Silver Jumpman branding appears on the exterior of the shroud and adds another visual element to the construction. Beyond the shroud and branding elements, the sneaker maintains a largely black build. The upper remains consistent in tone across most surfaces, allowing the Barely Volt and Metallic Silver accents to stand out. The outsole introduces another material contrast through an icy translucent finish.
Jordan Brand continues to build anticipation around the Air Jordan 40 lineup through these hybrid interpretations. Each release connects the current silhouette with elements drawn from earlier models. The “4028” edition highlights the influence of the Air Jordan 28 and incorporates one of its most recognizable design features into the Air Jordan 40 structure.
At the time of writing, Jordan Brand has not confirmed an official release date for the Air Jordan 40 “4028.” Current expectations point toward a Summer 2026 launch. The sneaker is expected to arrive through Nike SNKRS and select retailers. The Air Jordan 40 “4028” will carry a suggested retail price of $205 USD. Additional details and official imagery are expected to arrive closer to the release window as Jordan Brand continues to expand the Air Jordan 40 series.
