How Naruto and Nike teamed up for their unlikely collaboration

The promo video featuring Zion Williamson not only highlights his love for Naruto but also sheds light on the design process behind the sneakers. Williamson talks about how Naruto’s character resonates with him, as he never let other people’s opinions or judgments stop him from achieving his goals. He emphasizes the importance of self-belief and cites Naruto’s famous catchphrase, “Believe it!” as a source of inspiration. Williamson’s passion for the series even impressed Julian Robertson, who works as a designer for Naruto’s English publisher, VIZ Media. Robertson recalls that Williamson quoted the anime in one of their first meetings, surprising him as a hardcore fan.

Apart from Williamson’s interview, the video also features Israel Mateo, a footwear designer from Nike’s Jordan Special Projects division. He talks about the design philosophy behind the collaboration and the various colorways used in the sneakers. The green colorway, inspired by the Jonin-ranked shinobi’s flak jackets from Konohagakure, is one of the exciting new additions to the collaboration. Williamson explains how the Jonin represents any adults in his life that have taught him something valuable. The video also showcases the other colorways, including the shoes inspired by Naruto’s Sage Mode, a pair inspired by the raw power of Kurama, and a black-and-white design based on the Sage of the Six Paths. The video is not only a tribute to Naruto but also highlights the power of collaboration between two iconic brands.
