Jordan Brand bet big on Zion Williamson, signing the then-undrafted phenom from Duke to a five-year $75 million deal in 2019. Since being taken number one overall in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Pelicans, Williamson’s career has been rocky, plagued with injuries and controversies. Even still, Zion has been receiving updates to his signature sneaker line with Jordan Brand since its debut in 2021, with the duo currently onto the Jordan Zion 3.
While no official word has emerged regarding a follow-up to the model that debuted in late 2023, an image of the Jordan Zion 4 has appeared online. The image shows a poster inside a Nike store overseas, with an on-foot shot of the Jordan Zion 4 front and center. The silhouette retains the low-cut appearance of the Zion 3. Still, it comes with updated paneling that utilizes multiple layers of different materials and incorporates a midfoot panel similar to the Isoplate found on label mate Luka Doncic’s Jordan Luka 3.
A nod to Jordan Brand’s heritage is found on the elephant-print-inspired overlay near the toe and forefoot, while we see multiple hits of Jumpman logos, found on the sole and heel, and Zion’s logo on the heel tab. As for cushioning, we know the silhouette contains Air Zoom within the sole unit, as branding for the technology is found on the midfoot. What’s unknown now is how the cushioning is set up within the sole and whether or not the model features a drop-in midsole like its predecessor. For this Damascus Steel colorway, Jordan Brand gives the model a futuristic metallic silver makeover grounded by black hues and barely green accents.
The Jordan Zion 4 will debut in Spring 2025, with the Damascus Steel pair kicking things off on February 6 after a slight delay from their initial January 28 date. They will be released through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $140.
