The Men’s Jordan Pro Strong is the retro edition of the classic Jordan Brand basketball shoe. Originally from 1998, the Pro Strong was one of the very first models released under the then-new Jordan Brand, which placed the Air Jordan line as its own standalone brand. The Pro Strong resembles the look of the Air Jordan 13 — you could think of it as a beefed-up edition of the iconic silhouette, designed with a more substantial upper that supplies more support for forwards and centers. The design is constructed in an accurate representation of the original pairs, in full-grain leather with a textile-covered midsole and a rubber outsole that bears a similar appearance to the panther-paw-inspired sole design of the AJ 13.
