In 2019 RJ Barrett told reporters when Duke suits up in their black uni’s, it’s signaling the opposing teams funeral. During those precessions, few things were as daunting and doubly exciting as Barrett’s teammate, Zion Williamson, rising to the rim with ease in the darkly shaded jerseys and throwing down monstrous dunks any chance he got. For the latest offering of his second signature silhouette, Jumpman is dressing the Jordan Zion 2 in an homage to those black and “Royal” Blue Devil uniforms worn throughout the 2018-19 season.

The forefoot of the model is dominated by the University’s staple “Royal” blue tone gracing the mesh construction while a cracked elephant print is placed along the quarter overlays and “ZOOM AIR” branded forefoot strap. Blue hues continue across the perforated panels of the quarter and two-thirds of the AIR STROBEL housed midsole and mudguard before transitioning into the darkened latter half of the model. A mix of textiles round out the rear with a black suede heel counter and matching upper collar presiding above the underlying mesh base. Underfoot, the tread is treated in pitch black while the ZION logo is done in the second sampling of white after providing a seldom touch on the heel’s Jumpman logo.

For a closer look at the Jordan Zion 2 “Blue Devils” enjoy official images of the pair below while we anticipate further release before the onset of the 2022-23 NBA season in October.
