The sneaker showcases a distinctive color-shifting purple finish on the upper, complemented by carbon fiber textures and a quilted collar. Metallic bolt details on the eyelets evoke motorcycle hardware, and a removable shroud restores a signature feature of the original Air Jordan 17 model. Subtler design touches include a cat graphic on the toe, paying homage to Michael Jordan’s “Black Cat” nickname. Underfoot, the sneaker also features a glow-in-the-dark outsole for added flair. Other custom details further highlight Zach’s personal story, including chrome dubraes, unique lace charms, and printed insoles. The number 38, referencing his 38 days in the hospital, reappears on the heel and hangtag, injecting a deeper meaning to the sneaker.
