New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson is getting his own Air Jordan signature shoe in 2021 which is known as the ‘Z Code’.
In creating the Zion 1, Jordan Brand designers were taken by Williamson’s unique blend of star power. They looked to design a silhouette that both enabled his immense physical tools on the court while also illustrating personal traits that make him a one-of-a-kind superstar — and they didn’t have to look far. All they needed was to say his name.
The Jordan Z Code features a mid-top build while the forefoot and heel are broken down in sections to form a ‘Z’ design. Next, the model has a full-length Air Strobel and Zoom Air cushioning unit within the midsole.
“We knew that one of Zion’s main inspirations for the look of the shoe was superhero armor. But when we thought about an icon or symbol that could clearly draw out the shoe’s benefits, the “Z” made perfect sense to us,” says Vianney de Montgolfier, Senior Footwear Designer, Jordan Sport. “It’s the letter for speed, it has the base for power, and it’s maybe the most distinguishable letter in the alphabet. There’s nothing else like it.”
