A signature Air Jordan 36 colourway has been unveiled for the Washington Wizards' forward Rui Hachimura, leaving many fans wondering if Nike has announced a release date yet.
With the brand focusing on remaking and remodelling classic silhouettes as of late, like the upcoming "Homage" 1s and the returning "Chicago" 2s, a new Jordan 36 colourway will be a welcomed addition to the brand's basketball sneaker range.
With that said, here's everything we know about the upcoming Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 36 release so far...
When Is The Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 36 Release Date?
With the release date confirmed for 23 May 2022, the Rui Hachimura Jordan 36s are out now.
You can find the shoes in full-family sizing at selected stores, so stay tuned to find out where to buy them.
Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 36 Design
Rui Hachimura's Air Jordan 36 is a unique new look for one of the best basketball shoes around right now.
The uppers combine a fresh blend of cracked leather across the collars, eyestays, and midsoles, and mesh across the toe boxes plus the lateral and medial sides.
You then get hints of red accenting the midsoles, heel tabs, and laces, ultimately providing a stark contrast to the predominately light brown and black colour scheme.
Towards the heels, you'll find Hachimura branding to match the red logo found on the lace loop of the left sneaker, while the right shoe includes the usual Jumpman emblem.
Perhaps the most interesting detail of all though is the subtle graphically nod to Hachimura's Japanese heritage.
Through the mesh panels, translucent outsoles, and on the insoles, you'll find mountains drawn against a cloudy backdrop, with cherry blossoms and basketballs floating above the clouds to round off this signature release in style.
Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 36 Price
A men's pair of the Rui Hachimura 36s cost $195 which is a touch more than the usual Jordan 36 retail price.
Smaller and subsequently cheaper kid's sizes should also be available online.
Where To Buy The Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 36
You'll likely be able to find these signature sneakers at the Nike store under the new releases, basketball, or Jordan subsections right now.
Alternatively, check out the SNKRS launch page for them in stock there.
You could also keep an eye on the resale market at StockX if your initial attempt at purchasing a pair through retail is unsuccessful.
