The Jordan Zion 1 “Light Smoke Grey” Set For An August 12th Release

The New Orleans Pelicans front office has quite the task ahead of itself as it looks to properly build around its star Zion Williamson in hopes for eventual championship contention. With the roster around the former Duke standout constantly changing (they just traded away to seasoned veterans in Eric Bledsoe and Steven Adams), gaining consistency has proven to be ever elusive and the fear of losing their future elite star swells ever so slightly as his rookie contract nears its expiration. Even Jordan Brand could possibly benefit from Zion relocating to a much larger market, although the Bucks’ recent title should instill some confidence on the smaller market teams being able to truly build a contender.

This August 12th, another colorway of the Jordan Zion 1 signature shoe is expected to release. Featuring a Light Smoke Grey and Total Orange colorway, this upcoming release hits the subtle sporty look on the nail thanks to the full grey upper and black accents. The hits of orange arrive in perfect form, landing just on the forefoot lace eyelets, tongue logos, and outsole traction.

Again, expect these to hit Jordan retailers on August 12th, 2021 for $120 in full family sizes. Check out our Jordan Release Dates pages for more.
