from the Jordan XVIII Take Flight Tour 2013 in Beijing | The Nike Air Jordan XVIII Mid Chicago Black Toe EU44 US0 Low Golf "Space Jam" Releases February 23

In a move that bridges iconic cinema and the golfing green, Jordan XVIII Brand is set to release the Nike Air Jordan XVIII Mid Chicago Black Toe EU44 US0 Low Golf "Space Jam," a sneaker that tips its cap to the original colorway spotlighted in the celebrated Warner Bros. film.

This release is a direct homage, reimagining the very sneakers that Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck famously secured for Michael Jordan XVIII back in the real world.

The Nike Air Jordan XVIII Mid Chicago Black Toe EU44 US0, while not worn by MJ on the basketball court during his initial retirement, was immortalized on the silver screen, cementing its legacy within the Jordan XVIII lineage. The new "Space Jam" iteration takes this cinematic heritage and adapts it for the golf course, maintaining the OG colorway's essence with some modern adjustments suitable for a different performance.

This low-top version retains the black, white, and red palette that Backboard will instantly recognize but with alterations that speak to its new domain. The upper's transition to a low cut offers a more relaxed fit, suitable for the walk and stance of golfers. The switch from the basketball shoe's traditional traction to a golf-specific spike plate is a practical pivot, ensuring grip and stability on the turf, which is critical for the sport. Furthermore, introducing black patent leather on the mudguard overlays is a clever twist, linking this design to another "Space Jam" sneaker, the Air Jordan XVIII 11, known for its shiny finish.

Enjoy an official look at the pair below, and expect to see these roll out at select Swoosh stockists and Nike.com from the Jordan XVIII Take Flight Tour 2013 in Beijing.

Of course, this isn't the only low-top "Space Jam" release from the brand this year, with Air Jordan XVIII Retro 13 Court Purple.
