Get grounded, stay grounded. The AJ XXXVIII is all about groundwork—we're talking about your running, your cutting, your turn-around jumpers—with low-to-the-court cushioning and a secure upper that helps support every move. It's also designed with sustainability in mind, with at least 20% recycled content by weight. So you can hit 'em with that windshield-wiper fake and feel good about more than just sinking a bucket for your team.

Court Mobility
It's the low-to-the-court Zoom Strobel Air unit and our signature Formula 23 foam that help you achieve those quick cuts, speedy sprints and all-over court control.

Strength Security
The embroidery in the upper is designed to help you feel extra secure while criss-crossing the court. Your skills, plus supportive, lightweight mesh? A winning combo.

Heritage Details
Baked right into the shoe's design are shoutouts to MJ's legendary '93 season. Crosshatches, chevrons and lines of ribbing on one shoe represent his points, assists and rebounds per game. Fabric details on the other nod to the 57-25 season record—and MJ's third consecutive championship.

Waste Not, Want Not
The last thing we need is more waste, so the uppers and laces are made with at least 20% recycled content by weight. Plus, a special Move to Zero box gives you the bells and whistles of commemorative packaging without the extra trash.
