Air Jordan 8
Black Samurai
Step into Rui's world. Born in Japan with Beninese heritage, Rui Hachimura grew up with all the challenges that come with living as biracial in a homogeneous culture. When he immigrated to the United States, Rui became inspired by the range of American culture and really began thriving in finding his own identity. Now, through sharing his journey from Japan to America to the league, he wants to empower others to find themselves, and to find pride and hope within their differences. The Air Jordan 8 'Black Samurai' features textured Twine-coloured suede inspired by Japanese textile craft, special insole graphics, and Japanese characters on the tongue and inside label to help connect yourself to Rui's story.
