Zion Williamson's career and his signature shoes have taken a similar trajectory - a slow start to settle expectations, followed by surprisingly strong showings. Like his latest seasons on the court, the Jordan Zion 4 is Williamson's best shoe yet, and the newest release, a subtly cemented Flight colorway.

The Zion 4 Flight is draped in a crisp white upper and subtle hints of some of our favorite classic Jordan motifs, with an icy blue sole, infrared hits on the medial side and tongue, and a speckled print on the mudguard that's definitely giving us cement vibes.
Built for one of the most powerful players in the league, Jordan didn't skimp on the tech in the Zion 4. The sneaker comes complete with a Zoom Air unit that runs the full length of the shoe, and a drop-in midsole made of Cushlon 3.0 foam for a perfect blend of comfort and court control.
Zion signed with Jordan before he ever played a game in the NBA, and despite his struggles with injury, the Pelicans star has helped push Jumpman's signature lineup to a younger generation. But while plenty of Zion 4 colorways have been more kid-friendly in bright pastels, the Flights are constructed with references every Jordan head will gravitate to.
The Jordan Zion 4 Flight releases on August 7, 2025, through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. In men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $140.
