Jordan Brand has been showing love to their star athletes with the Air Jordan 36, first Luka Doncic’s all-red “Matador” PE and followed it up with Jayson Tatum’s ‘66 Ford Mustang-inspired colorway. It looks like Rui Hachimura is next up to bat again. Hachimura has been one of Jordan Brand’s hottest co-signs. His “Black Samurai” Jordan 8s and 36s set the world on fire with their homage to Rui’s Japanese heritage. The Wizards forward has more in the chamber as they prepare another Air Jordan 6 offering honoring Rui’s history.

The silhouette features a black and red makeup similar to the “Infrared” Air Jordan 36 albeit with additional gold detailing around the eyelets and on the heel tab. The biggest draw is the beautifully embroidered graphical upper adorned with cranes and blooming cherry blossoms in a traditional Japanese art style. Katakana on the heel pull tab and inside the tongue add even more culture to this sneaker. The look is completed by the partially translucent light green outsole and golden Nike Air branding on the heel.

A release date for the Air Jordan 36 x Rui Hachimura has yet to be announced but look for it to be released via Nike and select retailers. Stay tuned to SoleSavy for more sneaker-related news from your favorite brands, including Jordan Brand.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
