Fans cannot wait to witness Zion Williamson‘s high-flying dunks and electrifying performances on the basketball court again, and while he remains sidelined due to injury, the young hoops phenom is putting forth efforts into building up his signature sneaker catalog. Rumors of the Jordan Zion 2 have already started to circulate, but before he gets to that unveiling, the athletic forward has brought light to an upcoming Naruto x Jordan Brand collaboration.
Williamson took to social media to announce the upcoming partnership and has confirmed in the caption that it will entail a team-up atop his Jordan Zion 1. It’s likely that apparel pieces will accompany this release, but that has yet to be revealed. In his social post, Naruto Uzumaki is displayed doing a between-the-legs basketball move, and this sits adjacent to the traditional Jumpman logo.
More information regarding photos, release dates and pricing should start to pop up in the coming weeks.
While Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans star player has yet to step foot on the court during the 2021-2022 NBA season, the Jordan Brand has already looked into expanding the player’s signature shoe line.
The Jordan Zion 2 follows the first iteration and has surfaced in a crips white colorway, highlighted by a psychedelic, multicolored design that wraps around the tongue, ankle and heel areas. The shoe takes inspiration from the ’90s silhouette, which can be seen reiterated in the Zoom Aire forefoot straps. Williamson’s signature logo and initials are carved into the toe of the outsole as well as seen on the tongue.
There is no set release date currently announced for the Jordan Zion 2 but it is slated to release later this year. The news comes just in time after videos of Williamson practicing in the gym have surfaced. Check out the official images above and stay tuned on Nike (NYSE:NKE -0.80%) for more information.
