On the court, it hasn’t been the best of times for Zion Williamson or the New Orleans Pelicans. With the team staring down an “out in 4” fate against the Thunder and Williamson yet to play in the series, it’s almost time to shift your hopes to next season. That’s not the case, however, for the Duke alum’s signature shoe, continuing to impress as a tentpole silo alongside the Jordan Tatum 2 and Jordan Luka 3.

Though just gracing the upper of this Jordan Zion 3 would be noteworthy enough, the ombre hinted at in the title fully takes over the shoe. In that central section, it starts at aquamarine, hitting seafoam and soft yellow before landing at baby pink. All of those pastel shades are mirrored throughout the sneaker, that teal providing a backstop with leather that juts out from the heel cup. While the trademark mud print remains in place on the upper, it’s notably muted in this application, ceding space to this novel NRG pattern.

The Jordan Zion 3 NRG “Gradient” is set to release on May 16th in men’s and GS sizing. Take a look below at full images courtesy of Innvictus.

Shifting slightly to Air Jordans, the hotly-anticipated Military Blue 4s get a wide release on May 4th.
