Rui Hachimura continues to impress with his partnerships in the sneaker world, particularly with the Jordan brand. Following a series of exclusive Player Editions (PEs), Hachimura is set to debut his ‘Crane’ themed Air Jordan 1 Low, expected to hit the market in early 2025. This sneaker features a sleek ‘Oatmeal’ tan upper, highlighted by black Swooshes and vibrant pink floral accents, serving as a transformation from the original black colorway adorned with cranes, which was previously exclusive to Hachimura. As part of the extensive Jordan release calendar, this shoe will not only cater to fans of Hachimura but also to sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate unique designs that blend sports and culture. Given Hachimura’s significance as one of the few Japanese-born players in the NBA, his collaborations with Jordan serve as a bridge between basketball and Japan’s rich artistic tradition, exemplified by the crane motifs. Keep an eye out for this release, as it could prove to be a standout in the 2025 sneaker line-up.
