The Air Jordan 34 'Infrared 23' emerged in March 2020, a direct descendant of the iconic Air Jordan lineage. Its design ethos pays homage to the legacy of the Air Jordan 6, a shoe synonymous with Michael Jordan's first NBA championship. This release strategically built upon the established foundation of the Air Jordan franchise, integrating both heritage and innovation.
Primarily designed for basketball, the Air Jordan 34 'Infrared 23' delivers exceptional on-court performance. The incorporation of visible Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot and a large volume Hex Zoom Air unit in the heel ensures responsive cushioning. The lightweight design, weighing approximately 13.1 ounces, enables swift movements and agility, critical for the demands of professional basketball.
The Air Jordan 34 'Infrared 23' quickly cemented its status within basketball culture, notably seen on the feet of prominent athletes. Luka Doncic showcased the shoe during the NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago, February 2020. Jayson Tatum also sported the 'Infrared 23' during the same event in Chicago. Moreover, Zion Williamson was observed playing in the shoe during an NBA game in March 2020, further amplifying its presence.
The 'Infrared 23' boasts a meticulously engineered construction, featuring a semi-transparent textile upper enhanced with mesh and performance woven materials. This is further complemented by suede/nubuck elements on the tongue and lacing system, providing both visual contrast and tactile luxury. The midsole incorporates a Phylon construction, while the outsole utilizes a herringbone pattern, engineered for superior court performance.
