Air Jordan 36 Paris

The Jordan 36 Paris honors the French capital as a basketball hub with this celebratory sneaker. The Jordan 36 Paris features a leno-weave upper in gradient shades of pink to purple, symbolizing sunrise to sunset. Pink and purple accents across the upper emphasize this color scheme. A black pull tab on the heel and a cream-colored pull tab on the tongue make it easy to take this shoe on and off. A purple Jumpman accentuates the tongue, while a hot pink Jumpman appears on the black insole. The white foam midsole features a full-length Air Zoom Strobel, a heel Zoom Air unit, and an Eclipse plate at the midfoot to enhance propulsion. The white rubber outsole grooved for multi-directional grip sports a purple Jumpman. What we appreciate most about this vibrant sneaker are the singular details. A lateral-side tab reading 'PANAME' refers to Paris's nickname, while the '75' on the heel refers to Parisian zip codes. The back of the tongue catalogs the sneaker’s serial number out of the 2629 pairs made, and best of all, cream-colored upper overlays glow in the dark to reveal a street map of Paris. The Jordan 36 Paris debuted July 1, 2022, for $185 retail.
