The AJ XXXVIII takes inspiration from the AJ VIII, specifically the strap details. While this particular kick doesn't have any straps, the lines built into the white woven upper somewhat mimic the silhouette.
However, the embroidered upper has even more meaning behind it. Each design represents MJ's performance in his 1993 championship series. There are 41 crosshatches on the collar to represent The Black Cat's 41-point-per-game average. There are also three white diamonds along the heel to make note of the Chicago Bulls' third consecutive championship.
Along the medial side panel is an intricate mesh netting to improve breathability. It glows in a bright white that's slightly lighter than the rest of the off-white upper.
The tongue features a bright Metallic Gold Jumpman logo, drawn in a way that makes it look like MJ is leaping across the sun. Black laces and a black collar add stunning visual contrast.
The midsole features a black mudguard with a transparent layer on top flecked with golden sparkles. Underfoot, you'll find a full-length Zoom Strobel unit and CushIon 3.0 foam, making these extremely comfortable during intense moments on the hardwood. The inner herringbone traction pattern on the rubber outsole features a white and black marbled finish.
You wouldn't know it from looking at it, but the Jordan 38 Low "Marble" is made of at least 20% recycled materials by weight—making it one of the most sustainable Jordan signature shoes of all time.
For those moments when you want to dominate the game but also look fresh while doing so, the Jordan 38 Low "Marble" fits the bill. Grab your pair in men's and grade school kids' sizes on June 6, online or at your local Hibbett or City Gear store.
