The
Nike Air Jordan Evolution Continues
Air Jordan XIX - XXI
Air Jordan
XIX (2004)
Michael Jordan’s retirement from NBA
basketball has meant a turning of the page,
the ending of one chapter and the beginning
of another. The Air Jordan 19 was inspired
by an African snake, the Black Mamba, a
fast and deadly snake found in central and
southern Africa. Black Mambas are awe inspiring
animals, powerful and tense, and not black
but a gun-metal olive. When threatened they
raise their bodies high into the air and
present a wide open mouth and reveal just
how they got their name. The inside of their
mouth is jet black.
The Jordan XIX are extremely comfortable
and designed to be the lightest and most
flexible of all the Jordan shoes. The fit
is exceptional and the tongue is well-padded
to help improve the midfoot fit. A powerful
magnetic heel strapping system, speed lacing
toggle, and innovative flex material combine
to create a first rate performance that
is perhaps the greatest tribute to Michael
Jordan’s career and exemplifies the
greatness that only Jordan could achieve..

Air Jordan XX (2005)
First and foremost, Tinker Hatfield, the
genius and master, is back by popular demand
to work on the Air Jordan XX. The most noticeable
feature of the Jordan XX is the laser etched
design on the lace cover depicting various
past Air Jordan’s and Michael Jordan’s
achievements through his careers. Also prominent
is the vaguely huarache-like design. The
XX is inspired by motorcycle tyres and Jordan
Brand Racing team called Team 23 Racing
Team 23 Racing. Representatives have confirmed
companies affiliated Michael Jordan will
sponsor Montez Stewart in 2005’s AMA
Repsol Superstock and Pro Honda Oils Supersport
classes.
But when the world’s most famous athlete
becomes even remotely involved in any form
of sporting or business activity, it’s
fodder for much speculation. Reports slowly
began to appear on the web that Jordan was
putting together an AMA road racing team.
Jordan owns several sports motorcycles and
met Stewart through a mutual friend in the
Chicago area and decided to help the successful
CCS rider. The Air Jordan XX is set to debut
in early 2005, packaged in a black &
red box with a flip top in the middle which
is secured by velcro. The side of box is
expected to be embossed with the word “JORDAN.”
This model should feature an special 20th
Aniversary Edition Coaster.

Air Jordan XXI (2006)
The biggest statement Michael Jordan ever
made was with his game. Likewise, the stunning
new Air Jordan XXI speaks loudest through
its unbridled performance.
Ground-breaking technologies, such as sports
car inspired venting, a new traction system
and user-adjustable I.P.S. cushioning, set
the stage for the next twenty years of Jordan
in a shoe so fierce, it doesn't have to
say a word.
