Sole ties and soul power come together in a standout Air Jordan 1 Low OG.
Zion Williamson’s Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Voodoo Alternate’ 2025 Brings Bayou Boldness and Spiritual Style originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
You can tell a lot about someone by the shoes they wear. If you looked at mine on most days, you’d be able to tell that I’m a sneaker lover who values clean, comfortable, and stylish kicks. I don’t like my shoes to look worn or scuffed up. Even when I played football, my cleats always looked brand new. The Zion Williamson x Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Voodoo Alternate’ (Style Code: IH2309-500) uses stitches, skulls, and swooshes to tell a soulful sneaker story.
The ‘Voodoo Alternate’ AJ1 pays homage to the New Orleans roots of Zion Williamson where Voodoo is part of the culture. Intentional detailing and design elements lay the foundation for an enchanting aesthetic. Let’s take a deeper look.
Put together patchwork style, this sneaker reminds us that just like in life the best way to put things together is piece by piece. The mismatched upper is a mix of suede, canvas, and burlap fabrics stitched together giving Voodoo doll vibes. Embroidered skulls, a deconstructed tongue, and mystical symbols decorate the shoe and channel the spirit of swag. An inverted Nike swoosh appears at the shoes lateral side–a branding cherry on top of soulful sneaker sundae.

New Orleans Pelicans superstar Zion Williamson is known for his bold and explosive style of play. With his high flying dunks and rare athleticism it’s not hard to tell why people have always loved to watch him play or why he was scooped up by Nike’s Jordan Brand. Having a signature sneaker sponsored by the Jordan Brand has to be a dream come true and a bit of a nightmare.
The pressure of knowing your sneakers will never meet the extremely high bar set by MJ’s signature shoes has got to suck. If I’m being honest, the 2022 Zion Williamson Voodoo and this 2025 alternate are the only Zion Williamson sneakers that I’ve ever liked and they’re Jordan OGs.
The AJ1 Low OG ‘Voodoo Alternate' drops on October 29th–are you picking them up or letting them fall?
