Sneaker News Zion Williamson’s fitting in quite nicely with the New Orleans Pelicans, earning his first NBA All-Star nod while averaging nearly 30 points a game for the second consecutive season. A string of “Bayou Boys” releases by Jordan Brand perfectly exemplified the connection between the powerful Zion and the culture of New Orleans as several Air Jordan silhouettes have been decorated in that signature reptilian skin texture and color, and it arrives once more on his first signature shoe – the Jordan Zion 1.
Featuring “Carbon Green” and “Asparagus” to achieve that crocodilian look, this Jordan Zion 1 combines that lux lifestyle appeal with the faux texture at the heel, while the engineered mesh package at the forefoot offers the lightweight breathability needed for in-game use. And while hidden, the special insoles of “Let’s Dance”, his infamous draft-night phrase, with a swampy background provide that perfect storytelling aspect that we’ve come to expect from Jordan Brand.
A release is coming soon to Jordan basketball retailers; MSRP is set at $130.
