The Air Jordan 32 came in 2017 at a hundred and eighty five dollars, again from Tate Kuerbis, and it was the first Air Jordan with a Flyknit upper. It launched in a Rosso Corsa colorway that nodded to the Italian craftsmanship of the Air Jordan 2, with dual Zoom Air, a FlightSpeed plate, and herringbone traction.

Russell Westbrook wore it, and a young Jayson Tatum laced it up through his rookie season, a small preview of the roster that would carry the brand forward. It was a clean, well-built performer that bridged the design language of the 2 and the 17.

The 32 does not get talked about much, but it holds up as one of the better modern hoops shoes. It is the line settling comfortably into the knit era.
