The Air Jordan XXXVI, the latest Jordan Brand signature shoe, is set to hit shelves in September

Jordan Brand has officially introduced its latest basketball sneaker under Michael Jordan’s iconic signature line, the Air Jordan XXXVI.

Designed by experts at Jordan Brand, who combined their specialties to make the “best basketball shoe in the world,” the Air Jordan XXXVI features a jacquard leno-weave upper, a full-length Zoom Air Strobel unit that is double-stacked with a forefoot unit, and a refined plate system.

The Air Jordan XXXVI’s game-changing lightweight material and cushioning set-up was designed for the athleticism of the Jordan Brand’s elite young roster that includes NBA stars Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, and Zion Williamson, as well as WNBA standouts Satou Sabally and Kia Nurse.

“The Jordan Brand Design team really did their thing,”

said Sabally, forward for the Dallas Wings in the WNBA.

Aside from the unique innovations that make the shoe as light and comfortable as it could possibly be, the Air Jordan XXXVI also features an infinity symbol-like foam ribbon design through the midsole which represents Michael Jordan’s infinite influence on the sport of basketball and beyond.

Moreover, the lace cover, cutouts on the outsole, and embellishments on the heel are tributes to the Air Jordan VI, the shoe in which Michael Jordan won his first NBA title in 1991.

“We wanted to connect the ribbon and cover up the plate system. In doing so, we brought in subtle details from the Air Jordan VI and created a tooling that conveys Michael’s lasting influence in worldwide culture,”

said Jordan Brand footwear designer Tate Keurbis.
