Michael Jordan’s next Air Jordan performance sneaker, the Air Jordan 36, has officially been leaked well ahead of its debut launch.

The shoe was revealed by Dallas Wings star forward and Jordan Brand athlete Satou Sabally who used her social medial platform to give us a first teaser look at the Air Jordan XXXVI.

Some of the notable details includes a tongue similar to the Air Jordan 6 and the return of the Eclipse Plate that was featured on the midsole of the last two previous models. The shoe itself sports Purple color blocking highlighted with Orange accents, White appearing along the midsole and Black detailing throughout.

Air Jordan 36 Release Date

Look for the Air Jordan 36 to begin releasing on August 16th in its “Glory” colorway followed by more releases throughout the year at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $185 USD.

UPDATE 8/16: Jordan Brand has officially unveiled Michael Jordan’s next signature basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 36 (XXXVI).

The brand uses elements that worked well on both the Air Jordan 34 and Air Jordan 35 to create this latest model. It features a leno-weave upper which is durable, lightweight, and adapts to various foot shapes. The Air Jordan 36 also comes equipped with the most Zoom Air coverage that Jordan Brand has put into a signature shoe. A full-length Zoom Air Strobel unit is stitched directly to the upper, sitting above another forefoot Zoom Air unit for an extra burst of responsiveness. The multi-directional traction pattern is the ideal base to initiate that quickness, change of direction and control.

Look for the Air Jordan 36 to make its retail debut in the “Glory” colorway starting toady, August 16th followed by the player-exclusive “Guo Ailun” and “Kia Nurse” styles releasing tomorrow, August 17th in Greater China and Canada, respectively. Jayson Tatum’s PE releases in the states on August 21st while Rui Hachimura’s pair will be available in Asia and Latin America on August 22nd, and Luka Doncic’s pair will arrive on September 4th. Rounding out the releases is the Purple-based “First Light” colorway releasing globally on September 2nd followed by the “Psychic Energy” dropping on September 16th.
