Introducing the Air Jordan 38
The Air Jordan 38 (XXXVIII), released on August 18, 2023, represents a major step forward in Jordan Brand’s legacy, combining cutting-edge technology with a respectful nod to its historic roots.
Inspired by Michael Jordan’s precise footwork, the design introduces the X-Plate—a new plate system engineered to enhance court mobility and separation. This feature, echoing the strap details of the Air Jordan VIII, is paired with a full-length Zoom Strobel unit and a radial herringbone traction pattern, delivering responsive cushioning and superior grip.
Remarkably, the Air Jordan 38 is the most sustainably produced Air Jordan signature model to date, with at least 20% of its materials made from recycled content by weight.
