The Air Jordan 31, designed by Tate Kuerbis, made its debut in Las Vegas in July 2016 as the 31st installment in the Air Jordan line. Drawing inspiration from the Air Jordan 1, the silhouette features a classic profile and is constructed with a Flyweave material for enhanced flexibility and comfort. The midsole incorporates FlightSpeed technology, which ensures optimal energy and response by evenly distributing the foot's weight on the ground. The 'Chicago' colorway of the Air Jordan 31 pays tribute to MJ's longstanding home with a color scheme that fades from red to white across the upper, representing the Chicago Bulls team colors. Furthermore, the interior of the tongue showcases an homage to the Windy City, featuring a silver skyline and four stars symbolizing Chicago's flag. The Air Jordan 31 'Chicago' was released in November 2016.
