Air Jordan 34 Release Date, Photos & Price in the Philippines

“I WANT A SHOE THAT IS COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH ON AND OFF THE COURT. THE XXXIV DELIVERS ON ALL OF THIS AND MORE.” — ZION WILLIAMSON, FORWARD FOR THE NEW ORLEANS PELICANS

Knowing how forceful Zion Williamson is on the hardwood, Jordan Brand made sure to create a shoe that fits his style of play - aggressive, explosive, and dynamic. Needless to say, the Air Jordan 34 can contain your foot no matter how much pressure you put on it. It's like a diamond that has been reduced to its simplest formidable form.

The designers of the shoe exercised their minimalist side by simplifying the shoes' upper making the shoe light but with sturdy support on the lateral sides (not sure if its a TPU Plastic on the front side part) that goes along well with the innovative eclipse plate that provides optimal explosion off the foot.

Weighing just 13.1 ounces, this is the lightest shoe that the brand has ever produced. This is truly a shoe that will complement Zion's jumping prowess and explosiveness.

Noticeable features of the shoe:

1. Eclipse plate helps provide optimal explosion off the foot. It also gives a stable feel. Air Jordan 34 is the first shoe to utilize the Jordan Eclipse Plate, a technology formed by two Pebax pieces and a forefoot Zoom Air unit.

2. Void in the middle part of the midsole to reduce weight. Lighter feel.
3. Herringbone pattern on the outsole for court grip.
4. Zone Padding for comfort.
5. Very breathable upper reinforced with a woven material.

Other Important facts about the shoe:

- IT HAS ZOOM UNIT IN THE FOREFOOT AND HEEL ALTHOUGH IT'S THICKER IN THE FOREFOOT
-THE XXXIV IS ONE OF THE LIGHTEST BASKETBALL SHOES EVER CREATED BY JORDAN BRAND (SIZE 9 WEIGHS 13.1 OZ)
-THE NUMBER 23 IS FEATURED IN MORSE CODE ON THE VAMP OF THE SHOE

-EACH COLORWAY WILL HAVE UNIQUE AND DISCOVERABLE MARKS (FOR EXAMPLE, THE HEEL COUNTER BRANDING IS DIFFERENT ON EACH COLORWAY)

-ON THE OUTSOLE, “J4 – 34, 2.89-2019” IS FEATURED TO REPRESENT THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY FROM THE AIR JORDAN IV TO THE AIR JORDAN XXXIV

“Work on this shoe began by collating feedback from the Air Jordan XXXIII," says Jordan Brand designer Tate Kuerbis. "Athletes noted a desire to improve traction and reduce weight — that became our starting point. We focused on athletes who are playing above the rim and making them more explosive." The solution follows Jordan Brand’s longstanding commitment to game-changing innovation with the introduction of the Jordan Eclipse Plate.

“The Eclipse Plate takes the inherent values of the propulsion Flight Plate, a technology that is well-loved by Jordan athletes, and helps reduce the overall stiffness and strips down the weight,” says Kuerbis. “We achieve this by thinking about the type of plate materials used and how we can harness the principle value of each element.”

That idea is best articulated in the Air Jordan XXXIV’s forefoot Zoom Air unit. To unlock the full deflection point of the unit — maximizing its piston-like effect — the Eclipse Plate forms a cove, which allows the unit to compress and move without restraint. The composition of the plate, with its focus on stability (particularly in the heel), then gives more control to basketball’s full range of explosive movements: cuts, sprints, jumps.
