Jordan Access's design was inspired by the iconic Air Jordan 4, which was first released in 1989. The Air Jordan 4 was designed by legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield and was worn by Michael Jordan during the 1988–89 NBA season. The shoe featured several innovative design elements, including a visible Air Sole unit in the heel, a supportive winged design, and a unique lace locking system.

Jordan Access was designed to incorporate some of these same design elements in a modern and streamlined way. The shoe features a visible Air Sole unit in the heel for cushioning, as well as a supportive winged design midfoot for stability. The lace-up closure also features a locking system for a secure fit.
