It is no surprise that Zion Williamson is a major fan of anime. As a result of his love for anime, the Jordan Brand and the NBA superstar released a Naruto themed series, now making its way to the Air Jordan 37 silhouette. Titled the “Rasengan,” the newest offering of the Zion Williamson x Naruto x Air Jordan 37 shoe features an all-blue upper inspired by the Naruto spinning ball of chakra that seemingly destroys everything it touches. Bits of atomic green details appear on the top of the tongues in the form of claw marks embroidered on the ankle pads while the tongue patches are highlighted in metallic silver.
