Merix & Slim For Jordan Trunner O/S

09.17.2025

The release of the Jordan Trunner 'Magic Hour' and 'Lakeside' bring a fresh wave of energy, blending Jordan Brand heritage with a lifestyle-first approach. Each pair tells its own story – the 'Magic Hour' channels cool blues, light pinks and greys inspired by calm waters and city escapes while the 'Lakeside' pulling from warm, golden tones that nod to the fleeting beauty of sunset. Fans are creating a buzz that matches the sneakers’ striking aesthetics. The drop wasn’t just about new shoes hitting shelves – it was a moment that celebrated the culture of a beginning and highlighted the community and evolution of the Jordan Brand. Both pairs now stand as essentials for those who move seamlessly between performance and everyday style.
