How to Wear Jordans with Shorts Pick a pair of Jordans with some color variation for a textured look. There are tons of Jordans on the market that have elegant color variation that make the shoes stand out. Jordans with a vibrant color scheme will pop even more than they normally do when you’re wearing shorts since there won’t be any pant legs to draw the eye away from the shoes.[1] Unlike Converse or Adidas, most Jordans incorporate more than 2 colors in their designs. Don’t worry about matching with the tertiary colors and minor accents, since they provide some texture for the shoe but don’t create a big impression on their own. Jordans that are mainly white and have two accent colors are popular and versatile choices. Jordan 3s are a classic choice that will work with a variety of short styles. Jordan 9s come in a variety of colors and can make any outfit pop.
