The star rookie wears Nike Jordan 34 whose essential attributes are stability, quickness, and lightness. The Nike Jordan 34 prioritizes performance and style and has a “less is more” mentality.
The latest Nike Jordan 34 “Noah” edition has been launched on July 30 and fans can get their hands on it from Nike’s official site. The sneakers cost $195, but are a steal if you are Zion fan and want to be part of history.
This edition is close to Zion as the mastermind behind the design of the shoe is Zion’s 7-year old stepbrother Noah Anderson. The design of the shoe has special scribbles drawn by Noah himself.
The design seems extremely cute and is very personal to Zion.
Zion’s Rookie season
The 2019-20 NBA season was cut short for Zion because of a knee injury and further, the coronavirus pandemic made it worse for the star rookie.
Before the suspension on March 11, the big man played only 19 games in which he was averaging 23.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists with a shooting percentage of 62.4%. Zion’s scoring volume is the highest in the past 23 years among any NBA player.
Zion’s injury has cost Pelicans a lot and in the restart also Zion is out of shape. He has played only 29 minutes and has scored 20 points and 5 rebounds in two seeding games for the Pelicans, which they lost.
The Pelicans are trying to phase Zion in slowly so as to not risk any other injury in the NBA bubble.
