Air Jordan 34 PE "Heritage" Represents the Japanese-African Roots of Rui Hachimura

Jordan Brand releases another sneaker that honours the cultural heritage of a Jordan member. The latest Air Jordan 34 highlights the diverse cultural heritage of Rui Hachimura and welcomes his Japanese-African roots. Let's take a look at the Air Jordan 34 PE "Heritage".

The newest member of the Jordan family is the rookie small forward Rui Hachimura of the Washington Wizards. He is the first Japan-born basketball player to be drawn in the first round of the draft. That's why we see the African patterns on the left side of the sneaker and the details on the right side that remind us of his Japanese roots.

"Japan has its own culture, colours, materials and prints, just like Africa," says Hachimura. "The right shoe has unique characters and the upper material feels like Japanese paper or Washi. The logo was created by my mother. The left shoe has Benin-inspired colours and prints that are bright, loud and composed. “

When and Where Does the Air Jordan 34 PE "Heritage" Drop?

The Air Jordan 34 PE "Heritage" will drop on August 8th and unfortunately, only at Nike Japan. Therefore, we only have the opportunity to buy the sneakers via reseller platforms like StockX.
