Jordan Brand has always stood at the intersection of innovation and heritage, with each new silhouette taking inspiration from its rich history while introducing groundbreaking performance technology. The Air Jordan 38 in the “FIBA” colorway is no different. This pair acts as one of the launch colorways for the model and pays tribute to the global stage of basketball – the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
The Air Jordan 38 "FIBA" showcases a white finish throughout its leather, textile, and mesh construction. Complementing pure platinum accents adorn the textile portions near the midfoot and collar while striking embroidered details across the shoe recall Michael Jordan's iconic stat line. Forty-one cross stitches on the collar are a nod to his incredible 41 points per game average in the ‘93 NBA Finals, while three diamonds on the medial side symbolize the Bulls' third championship in that same year.
Golden accents embellish the tongue tag, reminiscent of the AJ 8, and the heel tab's Jumpman logo. An embroidered trophy adorns the tongue, and the insole displays a vibrant multi-color graphic. Below, the performance-driven design boasts a full-length Zoom Strobel unit and Cushlon 3.0 foam nestled within a black and pure platinum midsole. A semi-translucent outsole houses an X-plate, enhancing footwork and court mobility – perfect for those aiming to emulate Jordan's agility and precision.
The Air Jordan 38 FIBA will release September 7, 2023, through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s and GS sizing, the retail price is set at $200 and $140.
