Release Date: Air Jordan 7 Black Olive Official Shadows

To some outside viewers, Jordan Brand had been resting on its laurels for quite some time, and was in desperate need of fresh faces — and fresh signature shoes — to revitalize its Shadow. Cue the entrance of Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum, to carry the new mantle of Jordan superstars. But of the three, it seems to many like Tatum’s shoes have been the most well received, with their unique design aesthetic and high performance package.

The Tatum 2 represents a small but important evolution of Jayson Tatum’s signature silhouette, with its full-length Nike Air Strobel unit and lightweight frame pushing the boundary of what a sturdy modern shoe can do.
