The sneaker world is no stranger to wild collaborations, but few have captured the imagination of both anime enthusiasts and footwear collectors quite like the Naruto x Air Jordan series. With two official releases already under the belt—and NBA superstar Zion Williamson leading the charge as the face of the partnership—the saga is far from over.

Now, just as fans thought they’d seen it all, a previously unseen sample has surfaced, hinting at what could have been a third, even more ambitious Naruto x Air Jordan 1.

About the Naruto x Air Jordan 1 Collaboration

This unreleased sample, built off the Air Jordan 1 Stash hardware, is a masterclass in thematic storytelling. The added attachments—stash pockets and a removable bag—turn the classic silhouette into a tribute to Naruto’s Hidden Leaf Village.

While previous releases have spotlighted other characters, the design cues here point unmistakably to Kakashi Hatake: olive green, navy blue, and black dominate the palette, while materials like canvas heel counters, glossy leather collars, and mesh quarter panels echo the ninja’s layered, enigmatic style.

Further nods to the franchise abound. Silver bangles at the heel, an exposed product tag on the outside collar, and two heel badges serve as subtle Easter eggs for die-hard fans. The overall effect is a shoe that feels both rooted in Jordan heritage and unmistakably Naruto.
