The 15 Greatest Jumpman Jordans of All-Time

Year Released: 1999

Complex says: The team shoe concept was the go to move for Jordan Brand around the millenium. The Team Js used a design concept similary to Gary Payton's signature series. The minimal branding and lines on the side made these one of the cleanest pairs on the court during '99. They also unfortunately featured the most maddening clasp in the history of shoes.

Year Released: 1997

Complex says: More greatness from the Jordan Brand Class of '97. The Vindicates were then-All-Star Vin Baker's second signature model, following the beloved Pro Strong (which we'll get to much later). The forefoot Zoom Air unit and half/half design of these joints were a favorite among post players going hard in the paint.

Year Released: 2009

Complex says: The Jumpman Elite was technically designed as a basketball training shoe, but you can bet they saw some time on the court. The clear Air Jordan XI influence with the patent leather wrap is always a plus, and the stability of the soles helped break a few ankles — but not yours. Speaking of ankles, that Jumpman sure was little, huh?

Year Released: 2011

Complex says: Mr. 3000 has been swaggin' out in NYC bodying chicks and fastballs while wearing the Jumpman for a decade. It is pretty difficult to get excited over a "baseball"-type kick but with the latest Jeter Cuts, Jordan Brand was on point.

Year Released: 2010

Complex says: To be honest, Carmelo has always seemed like a dude with swag on and off the court, when he first started hitting the national scale he rocked the illest Jordans so when Jordan Brand signed him it seemed like a good look. Melo started off in retros and fusions, but once his own line got started, it was on. The M7 "Future Sole" is both the latest and greatest.

Complex says: Chris Paul's third signature sneaker was where it all came together. The midcut and spattered midsole screamed "RETRO!" while the overall sleek design, light weight, and Podulon cushioning put them right at the present. The New Orleans inspired colorway was tremendous.

Year Released: 1998

Complex says: Then-Lakers guard Eddie Jones balled hard in the Jumpman Pro Quick. A dope late '90s release from the Jordan Brand with guards — other than MJ — in mind that was low when Kobe was still rocking these. These will actually be returning next year at $110 price tag: a great deal for a great performance sneaker.

Year Released: 1999

Complex says: When these dropped in the late '90s Jordan, was killing it across the board. A true cross-trainer, the 3 Percent was something that they could have designed for Bo Jax. The midsole "wings" provided support, the figure 8 lace loop paid homage to the classic trainers of the past, and the Jumpman let you know where these came from. Jordan gave them a remix this year when Mike Bibby rocked the Air Jordan Alpha 3 Percent Hoop in Miami during the playoffs.

Year Released: 2000

Complex says: The Trunners were damn near the perfect hybrid sneaker, a great look for the track or putting in work at the gym. The laceless Trunner LX was super-low, and thus an even better shoe to rock to the airport — that way you could head straight for your next workout. The "woven" material off the Air Jordan XV worked even better on these than it did on the flagship joints.

Year Released: 1999

Complex says: After the success of the Pro Quick, Eddie Jones was blessed with a true signature shoe they dubbed the "Quick 6" after his jersey number. True to the name, the shoe even looked quick, with even bolder "air intake" styling than the Air Jordan XIV and a stylized "EJ" on the top lace loop. These all-but forgotten classics could use a comeback.

Year Released: 2011

Complex says: The lightest Jordan Brand basketball shoe ever, the Fly Wade was on the Jordan 2011 track before being adapted as Dwyane Wade's first Jordan signature model. And it was so well-received that it stayed in the line (with some changes to the upper) as the Fly 23.

Year Released: 1998

Complex says: The Pro Strongs were the big man team concept shoe released by Jordan Brand in the late '90s (alongside the Pro Quick), intended as the primary shoe for post players and worn by then All-Star forward Vin Baker. The XIII-like lines were stunning, and the sheer ruggedness was something not ordinarily seen in a shoe with the Jumpman logo. An all-time classic.

Year Released: 1997

Complex says: The Jumpman Pro did pretty well for itself, so Jordan Brand continued to drop team shoes and price them about $25-$40 cheaper than the flagship Air Jordans. In '97-98 you could catch them on a lot of player's feet including Kenyon Martin with the Cincinnati Bearcats and, of course, Eddie Jones.

Year Released: 2010

Complex says: An up-to-date take on the original Jordan Trunner (which can share this spot), the Alpha Trunner took the original's clean look and added an additional decade of research and development. That carbon fiber support wing still looks mean today.

Year Released: 1997

Complex says: These shoes were the rage when the first dropped in '97. They had a very similar feel to the XIIs at a more affordable price. (To be perfectly honest — and to risk blasphemy — these may have been a better shoe than the XII, with their lower cut and lighter weight.) The black and red colorway actually evoked the Jordan XI with the exposed carbon shank plate. A young Kevin Garnett put in work in these. A great performance sneaker with quality design — JB hit the first pitch out of the park.
