Rui Hachimura may not be a household NBA name yet, but his Jordan Brand family treats him like a leader in the next generation. As such, the Japanese hooper has quickly gotten his fair share of collaborations, with the latest arriving in the form of an Air Jordan 37.
Akin to previous pairs made for the Washington Wizards forward, the upcoming sneakers indulge in a vibrant red color across most of its upper. No design inspiration has been revealed, but the Air Jordan‘s eye-catching graphics throughout the woven top-half and full-length Zoom Air strobel-donning midsole are surely rooted in Hachimura’s Japanese heritage. Branding on the top of the tongue is replaced with the 24-year-old’s own kanji-stylized logos, further cementing the small forward as a big part of Michael Jordan’s eponymous label.
Enjoy an extremely early look at the pair ahead, courtesy of Instagram user @spicychickenwings , as you wait for official Nike.com launch details.
