Last season Zion Williamson faced a world of criticism. After suffering a toe injury, the 21-year-old was out the entire season. With unique athletic gifts, Zion’s game also has its downsides. However, with a huge off-season to recover, the NBA All-Star has been making his moves. Announcing the release of his new show with the Jordan brand, fans were ecstatic to see Williamson in stunning shape.
Williamson came in as the number one overall pick to the Pelicans. His athletic gifts were never seen before. Being nearly 300 pounds, Zion has one of the highest verticals in the NBA.

After dealing with such an extensive process, the young star is taking each step with a lot of thought. With his new shoe, Nike has designed the shoe to remain in duress, carrying the explosive body of Williamson.
In addition, covering comfort, resistance, and mobility, Zion’s signature shoe is all fit for his body. But at the end of the day, it comes to the game time test. Showing his dominance by averaging 27 points, Williamson needs to learn to avoid injuries. And with his build, it will never be an easy job.
