Flight 23, First Jordan Brand Flagship Store, to Open in NYC

Jordan Brand has been precisely plotting the past couple of years and with a spike in interest and continual growth of their product, the Brand thought it appropriate to open up their first ever flagship store to sell strictly Jordan Brand products come 2014. The store, called Flight 23, is currently under construction in New York City and will be located on West 34th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. If that address seems familiar it may be because it’s rather close to where Carmelo Anthony laces up his Jordan Melo M10s for home games at Madison Square Garden. The store is a collaboration between Footaction and JB and while there isn’t any more information up to this point on when exactly it will open, we imagine that the store will feature exclusives in both product and releases.

In a town accustomed to both construction and unusual sights, New Yorkers on West 34th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues—one block from Madison Square Garden—on Friday morning noticed a new 18-foot tall classic Jordan shoebox serving as a construction barrier. Behind that barrier, the Jordan Brand and Footaction teams are hard at work creating a Jordan-only retail store, the first in a series of planned premium Jordan retail experiences coming to North America.

“We’re excited to launch North America’s first Jordan Brand exclusive retail experience for athletes at the top of their game who demand the absolute best in both performance and style,” said Larry Miller, President, Jordan Brand. “We will work with Footaction to bring Flight 23 to markets across North America, and can’t imagine a better place to start than one of the best basketball cities in the world, New York.”
