A new look is coming to the Air Jordan XX. The collaboration of the global sports brand, Nike, with Michael Jordan has unveiled a new design for the signature shoe that came out 10 years ago.
The shoe is back for the Jordan Brand's 30th anniversary and is part of a new collection, called "Laser Pack."
Other shoes included in the new "Laser Pack" collection are the Air Jordan I and the Air Jordan IV. These two, along with the Air Jordan XX would feature the laser-etched design on the base, which was first debuted on the Air Jordan XX in 2005, said High Snobiety.
The new colorway, called "Laser," features laser-print designs on the shoe's body. According to Nike's official website, the symbols and drawings printed on the sneaker represent all the important moments in the career of the basketball icon.
In 2004, Nike designers Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith approached the former Chicago Bulls player to get an idea on what he believes are the most important times in his career. It took a while for the ex-NBA star to come up with insights but once he did, there proved to be a lot.
Hatfield and Smith took these details with them, and along with inspiration from motorcycle tires and cycling shoes, came up with the Air Jordan XX, which was unveiled in 2005.
The remastered design of the Air Jordan XX features a cutting edge theme clearly scene at first glance.
It boasts of an all white base with metallic silver accents all over, noted Sole Collector. The symbols representing Jordan's career highlights are laser-printed on the white base in gold tone.
The Air Jordan XX "Laser" is outfitted with a silver midfoot strap that has a stitched design of the Air Jordan icon. Meanwhile, an ankle collar and strap featured the word "Jordan" etched on it. An icy blue outsole completes the look.
The Air Jordan XX "Laser" is hitting shelves on Feb. 16, just a few days after the NBA All-Star Weekend will take New York by storm.
For those who want to grab these kicks a bit earlier, a Nike pop-up booth would be installed at 166 Flatbush in Brooklyn from Feb. 13 to Feb. 16. The booth will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., said Slam Online.
It would sell at $250 a pair. The company has not announced if this design would be available in grade-school sizing.
