Special Edition Jordan 8

Washington Wizards 3rd year forward Rui Hachimura has represented his home nation Japan for some time now. After representing at the 2020 Olympics, the Jordan Brand athlete was awarded with a special edition Air Jordan 36 for last season and now Rui has transitioned to retros with the Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 8 SE, which releases on Monday.  Retail price comes in at around $225 starting and resell starts at a sky rocketing $315

The face of the shoe is covered in a beige Twine with suede shoelaces that represents the heritage of Japan. The tongue and the base stand out as they represent the colors of Japan’s national flag (red and black). The shoe was originally leaked by @kangofmemphis last year and expect Rui to have more SE’s as Washington DC is rich in Asian history. Next year, the Wizards are dubbing their new city jerseys that are cherry blossom themed meaning we can see a Hachimura x Cherry Blossom Jordan 36.
