As soon as sneakerheads hear the term “hybrid Jordans”, it’s often met with some pretty harsh words, but the truth is that there are some hybrid Jordan models out there that don’t look like Frankenstein creations. Do we even dare say that some designs could trump the OG styles that inspire them? These are the hybrid Jordans that could change your mind about the entire concept of hybrid sneakers.
Jordan Legacy 312
The Jordan Legacy 312 was created as a nod to the Chicago area code. It combines the AJ3, AJ1 and Air Alpha Force into one beautiful look. Of course, not everyone is a fan of the thick straps on the front, but they give the shoe a distinct feel.
Jordan Spiz’ike
The popular Spiz’ike hybrid design was created in honour of Spike Lee’s contributions to Air Jordan’s advertising legacy. You’ll see models like the Air Jordan 3, Jordan 4, Jordan 6, Jordan 9, and Jordan 20 all wrapped into one unique-looking silhouette. Some of the colourways can be a bit on the bold side, but that’s all part of the model’s charm. Go big or go home.
Jordan MVP 678
To celebrate the GOAT’s first 3-peat championship run, JB put together a hybrid Jordan featuring his 6th, 7th and 8th signature silhouettes. You’ll notice distinct features from the models, such as the AJ 6 sole unit, the AJ 7 overlays, and the AJ 8 splash print. We especially love all the fire colourways the Jumpman Team has been coming up with.
Jordan 6-17-23
This Jordan hybrid was inspired by the 2008 Air Jordan Legacy Collection Countdown Pack, launched to celebrate the brand’s 23rd anniversary. You can distinctly see the influences from the Jordan 6 and 17 models, and the combo is just a perfect mix.
Jordan 6 Rings
The Jordan 6 Rings was first released in 2008 and has become a mainstay in the Jordan lineup ever since. These hybrid Jordans combine the best features of all six signature models MJ wore when securing an NBA title; you get the back pull tabs of the 6s, the inner of the 7s, the tongue patch and cross strap of the 8s, the upper of the 11s, the eyelets from the 12s, the outsole of the 13s, and the toe box from the 14s. Not only do they convey an incredible story, but they manage to look good at the same time.
Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11
Another hybrid experiment that has a fond spot in many sneakerheads’ memories is the Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11. The design sets the Air Jordan 11 upper onto the Air Max 1 sole. We’re sure some sneakerheads would like to see these return for another lap, but for now, they’re only available on resale sites.
Jordan Flight Club ’91
The Jordan Flight Club ’91 is essentially a modified version of the Air Jordan 6. You’ll find some similar details, such as the transparent rubber outsole and cutouts, but they are also pretty distinct. The hybrid design has a boxier toe, reminiscent of the AJ4, and overlays reminiscent of the AJ7.
Jordan Point Lane
JB introduced the Point Lane in 2021 to honour the sneakers MJ wore during his most memorable seasons. But while you get familiar elements from His Airness’s third, sixth and eleventh signature Jordan shoes, they’ve been put together in such a way that this hybrid feels like something brand new. Definitely among the best Jordan hybrids out there.
Jordan 2/3
The Jumpman team’s Air Jordan 2 and 3 hybrid sneakers are surprisingly stylish. The design takes the low-cut version of the AJ2 and fits it onto the AJ3’s chunky sole unit, somehow magically addressing all the gripes we have with the OG AJ2 silhouette.
Jordan Spiz’ike Low
The Jumpman team gave the Spiz’ike silhouette a chop in 2024. It’s the same hybrid Jordan fans love, but with a lower profile. Plus, they’ve been releasing some pretty great colourways for the new lower-cut style.
