Get grounded, stay grounded. The AJ XXXVIII is all about groundwork—we're talking about your running, your cutting, your turn-around jumpers—with low-to-the-court cushioning and a secure upper that helps support every move. It's also designed with sustainability in mind, with at least 20% recycled content by weight. So you can hit 'em with that windshield-wiper fake and feel good about more than just sinking a bucket for your team.
It's the low-to-the-court Zoom Strobel Air unit and Nike's signature Formula23 foam that help you achieve those quick cuts, speedy sprints and all-over court control.
The embroidery in the upper is designed to help you feel extra secure. Throughout the shoe's design are shoutouts to MJ's legendary '93 season. Crosshatches, chevrons and lines of ribbing on one shoe represent his points, assists and rebounds per game. Fabric details on the other nod to the 57-25 season record—and MJ's third consecutive championship.
The last thing we need is more waste, so the uppers and laces are made with at least 20% recycled content by weight. Plus, a special Move to Zero box gives you the bells and whistles of commemorative packaging without the extra trash.

Wear the type of socks you'll wear with your shoes and measure feet in the afternoon (feet typically swell during the day). Distribute weight evenly before measuring.
Stand up straight on a hard surface with your heel against the wall and a piece of blank paper taped to the floor, flush against the wall beneath your foot.
Have someone mark the longest part of your foot (referred to as heel-to-toe length) on the paper with a pen or pencil, or measure yourself if necessary. Repeat with the other foot, as right and left sizes may be different.
Use a ruler to measure the heel-to-toe length you marked for each foot.
