Nike Basketball and Jordan Brand continue to deliver premium performance sneakers and the latest to be highlighted is the Jordan Zion 2 sneaker in a Hyper Royal colorway palette. The shoes are made from a mixed material throughout the upper with Duke Navy Blue detailing most of the shoe.
This celebrates Zion Williamson's time at Duke University and it starts with the signature strap for support. Additionally, there is a crackled elephant print as a textural touch seen along with black details making up the collars, tongue, rubber outsole, and heel section. White adds a brighter touch of contrast by the tongue branding and the Jumpman motif on the heel to round out the sneaker.
