The Air Jordan 38 'Year of the Dragon' celebrates the mythological creature from the Chinese zodiac. Pale green laces secure the nubuck and woven mesh upper, finished in Cedar with tonal embroidery throughout the collar. Jumpman branding embellishes the tongue, back heel and sockliner. Performance benefits include a full-length Zoom Strobel unit and a lightweight Phylon midsole. The latter is wrapped up with Jordan Brand's stabilizing X-plate, which takes inspiration from the cross-strap design of the Air Jordan 8.
