We’re not generally superstitious people over here but when it comes to the city of New Orleans and voodoo, especially in conjunction with Zion Williamson’s injury history, well, there are some things you just don’t mess with. Jordan Brand isn’t scared of a little black magic, though. Continuing a theme that started with a Jordan 1 Low, Jumpman is back with a voodoo doll-themed Zion 4.
The Zion 4 Voodoo is layered in panels of sesame tan canvas like a classic burlap voodoo doll, with visible black stitching added for an even spookier effect. The wheat colorway is broken up in the midsole by a red glow in the Air Zoom cushion and a slightly darker gum sole. No matter who has your voodoo doll in hand, the Zion 4’s drop-in Cushlon 3.0 foam insole will make sure your feet don’t hurt after the next pick-up run.
Zion’s voodoo sneaker legacy started in 2023 with a tan and green Jordan 1 Low and a second, Player Edition colorway in purple and blue hemp canvas, covered in even more voodoo detail than the new Zion 4. After a couple of years floating around the ether, Jordan decided to give the PE Zion Jordan 1 a wide release later this year, making the Zion 4 Voodoo colorway even more timely, because who doesn’t love a themed pack?
The Jordan Zion 4 Voodoo will be released September 20, 2025, through select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $145.
