Nike just dropped the first look at Zion Williamson‘s newest shoe featuring a collaboration with Zion, Air Jordan 37, and one of the most popular Anime franchises, Naruto. If there is one thing the New Orleans’ All-Star forward loves more than basketball, it’s definitely anime. He has expressed his love for Japanese anime, especially Naruto. It’s very obvious now that he has two shoes that highlight the famous Japanese manga series. The new Jordan sneaker will arrive on February 20, but how much is it worth?

Zion x Naruto x Air Jordan 37 possible price
The shoe will be released on the 20th of this month on select retailers and on Nike.com. Although it’s coming closer and closer, Nike hasn’t announced the price of this new product.
But, we are going to make speculations on its price judging by how much Air Jordan 37s costs right now and how much Jordan Zion 1 x Naruto costs when it was released in 2022. On Nike’s official website, different versions of Air Jordan 37s cost from $185 to $205. On the other hand, the Zion 1 x Naruto was initially priced at $130 during its debut in April 2022 (which is $10 more expensive than the normal Jordan Zion 1). With that, we would like to think Zion x Naruto x Air Jordan 37 would be priced a bit higher than common Air Jordan 37s. Say, it might be around $195 to $215. Again, these are just speculations. Maybe it’ll be cheaper or maybe it’ll be even more expensive.

First Look at The Details
The Naruto-inspired sneaker highlights a blue tonal color that resembles Naruto’s Rasengan. Meanwhile, the inner tongue (yellow) mimics Naruto Uzumaki‘s hair color. Not only does the tongue have the titular character’s hair, but it also has Naruto’s famous catchphrase “だってばよ!” (Believe It!) written on the inside. Additionally, the insoles feature the emphatic Rasengan Chakra orbs to complete the whole idea of Naruto’s Rasengan.

On another basketball shoe news, Kyrie Irving parted ways with Nike earlier this year.
Kyrie is officially a sneaker free agent following his recent controversy. After his partnership with Nike was suspended due to the controversial antisemitic incident a few weeks back, Nike officially parted ways with Kyrie Irving. According to a tweet by NBA insider, Shams Charania, Kyrie is no longer affiliated with the popular sneaker brand.
As of this writing, Uncle Drew hasn’t made any deals with other shoe brands. There may be a lot of brands out there like Puma, Under Armour, Adidas, and New Balance that would love to make a partnership with the superstar point guard.
