Sneaker blowouts, while relatively uncommon nowadays, are not unfamiliar to New Orleans Pelicans basketball player Zion Williamson. The 66, 284 lb power forward blew through the upper of his PG 2.5s in 2019. His height, weight, and pure athleticism mean that hes cutting with more force than the average player and applying explosive energy to his shoes. Williamson is proud to unveil the Zion 4, his fourth signature silhouette, teaming up with Jordan Brand to offer a sneaker thats stable, secure, and performs beautifully on court. An aggressive lateral outtrigger and Cushlon drop-in midsole are innovations specific to this model, developed to channel Williamsons singular kinetic dynamism.The Zion 4 features one of the most extreme lateral outtriggers ever in a basketball shoe, offering stability for cutting quickly and accurately. A drop-in midsole, unique to Zions sneaker setup for a double layer of cushion, adds extra shock absorption to support dynamic movement. The combination of metallics and layers of transparent overmold give a distinct space-age feel, each new silhouette in the Zion collection a distinct but exploratory take on his ever evolving game.The 24-year-old has more than proven himself since his time on the Griffins at Spartanburg Day School. After a short stint on the Duke Blue Devils, he was named first overall pick in the 2019 draft. He landed a spot in the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2020, and in 2021, he became the fourth-youngest NBA player to be selected to an All-Star game. His strength, control, and precision are immediately apparent, athleticism at the core of his game.Just as ready to assist than take the shot, hes constantly looking for, and finding, new ways to expand his athletic prowess. The Zion 4 features a full-length parabolic Air Zoom strobel to provide a springy, double-stacked layer of cushioning. A computationally derived outsole delivers excellent court feel, keeping energy up and reducing fatigue. The Zion 4 offers ultimate control, made specifically for the powerful energy Williamson brings to the court.To learn more about the Zion 4 sneaker, which is being released very soon on jordan.com, please visit nike.com.
