First Look: Air Jordan 36 - ‘First Light’


First teased by Isatou “Satou” Sabally via Twitter, the Air Jordan 36 “First Light” finally dropped in stores.

The Eclipse Plate from the Air Jordan 35 makes an appearance on the shoe, pairing with a Zoom Air Strobel to deliver comfort and responsiveness. The multi-directional traction pattern underfoot rounds out the proposition, delivering a conduit through which to experience the innovation packed into the Jordan 36.
