Jordan Chiles [1] is en route to Tokyo for the Olympics, and we can guarantee she's got a suitcase filled to the brim with exclusive sneakers. The 20-year-old athlete is part of the four-person women's artistic gymnastics team [2] representing Team USA in the Games, and when she's not flipping alongside teammates Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Grace McCallum, she's rocking some seriously cool kicks. Some might think of it as a coincidence, or some might say the stars were aligned from birth, but Jordan's love for Air Jordans simply cannot be ignored. It makes perfect sense that her mom named her after Michael Jordan [3]! She even wore a pair of patriotic low-tops after competing at the 2021 US Gymnastics Olympic Trials in St. Louis [4].
Jordan is an inspiration for so many young girls who admire her tenacity, athleticism, and talent [5], but her sneaker closet is an inspiration as well. She's often pairing apparel from her Melanin Drip Clothing Co. company [6] with stylish shoes, and Jordan takes many of her TikTok videos [7] in front of her shoe collection, so you know we're pausing for a closer look. Check out some of her best sneaker style ahead, and get excited to see Jordan flaunt her footwear and her incredibly impressive skills in Tokyo.
