The Air Jordan trademark collection holds a significant place in basketball history and is recognized for its rich legacy. Additionally, it is notable for its role in driving technological advancements that cater to the needs of future athletes.

The innovative plate technology used in the Air Jordan 38 is a nod to Michael Jordan's prowess on the court and an improvement on previous models. The description of the latest Air Jordan 38 silhouette on Nike's newsroom reads:

"The Air Jordan signature series isn’t just the most storied footwear line in basketball history, it’s also the basketball line at the cutting edge of innovation for the next generation of player. The Air Jordan XXXVIII is the next step in that history, introducing a new plate technology drawn from the insights of Michael Jordan’s impeccable footwork."

It further continues as:

"Court mobility and creating separation were the focus, harkening back to Jordan’s fadeaway jumper."

For years, the best names in basketball have worn shoes from Jordan Brand to improve their performance. The most recent PE model for WNBA standout Asia Durr carries on this trend.

China Hamilton, a Jordan Brand designer, showcased Asia Durr's Air Jordan 38 PE, featuring distinctive design elements and a visually striking color palette. The top portion of the product combines canvas and textile fabrics in volt green, blue, and red colors, featuring a visually appealing criss-cross design.

Solid green accents are strategically placed on the toe box, tongue flap, and heel counter.

The red "AD" emblem, which can be seen clearly on the collar area, is complemented with green and red stitched details on the blue-collar. A white midsole with turquoise TPU reinforcements sits around the toe and midfoot.

The design is completed with the semi-translucent outer sole unit.

In addition to the aforementioned PE colorway, the Swoosh's Jordan Brand will be offering many other Air Jordan 38 colorways in the coming months of 2023. The highly anticipated colorways of the 38th shoe, including "Center Star," "FIBA," and "Light Marine" variants, will be dropped this year.

The first two colorways, as well as the third, will be released in the month of September, but the release date for the third has not yet been announced.

The suggested retail price for all three colors of the silhouette is $200. They will be sold through the Nike SNKRS app and a select group of Jordan Brand retail partners.
