Paying tribute to MJ as a global superstar, inspirational words in various languages are stamped on the sole. Some of Michael's best traits?including intense, dedicated, graceful and athletic?are imprinted in German, French, Spanish, Swahili, Russian and Italian. Other words such as 'freedom,' 'hope' and 'force' represent the qualities that Jordan has added to the world of sports. A graphic of a rising sun adds a timeless Japanese detail, which is molded into the sole alongside the classic Jumpman logo.
