Nike Turned a Jordan Dad Shoe Into a Cutesy Ballet Sneaker

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

The Jordan Brand's dad-shoe era has officially taken a cutesy turn, with the latest model arriving as a Jumpman sneaker gone full ballerina.

Aptly named the Jordan Pointe, the newest sneaker is essentially a cross between a chunky training sneaker and a ballet shoe.

It even features silky ribbon laces that loop around your ankles, similar to those prima-level Air Rift shoes. There's also a classic Mary Jane-style closure, sealed with Jumpman branding, of course.

Elsewhere, expect a classic Jumpman trainer complete with creamy uppers and a thick cushioned sole.

It honestly resembles the brand's Trunner models, which are also known for their pure dadcore energy.

The Jordan Pointe sneaker is set to debut in "Royal Blue" sometime in 2026. According to sneaker leakers, it will drop on Nike's website for around $125.
