The Air Jordan 35 “Center of Gravity” is an October 2020 colorway of the performance basketball shoe that culls design cues from its Air Jordan heritage. Noticeably lighter in weight than its predecessor due to a modernized and updated Eclipse Plate, the Jordan 35 also features a new Flightwire system with an underlaid Kurim cage for improved on-court performance capabilities. Aesthetically, the “Center of Gravity” displays grey suede overlays above the multicolor, semi-translucent panels on either side. A small black Jumpman appears on the iridescent overlay on the collar and funky “23” detailing can be found on the lateral side in reference to the styling of the Player Exclusive Air Jordan 5 that Michael Jordan wore with the Chicago Bulls. The design of the collar, tongue, and heel is reminiscent of the original design of the Air Jordan 5, as well. On the heel, a yellow product tag features dual “Nike Air” and Jumpman detailing as a call out to the Jordan 35’s Air Jordan heritage. The model’s black Eclipse Plate extends to the midsole. Enclosed Zoom Air units in the forefoot and heel of the midsole provide a responsive ride. Release date: October 17, 2020.
