The
Air Jordan 20 would launch in 2005, which means it was Nike and Jordan Brand’s 20th anniversary. Tinker Hatfield had not designed for Jordan Brand since the Air Jordan XV, but it was Gentry Humphries’ (Footwear Business Director) idea to have him design the Air Jordan XX. It took Tinker about five seconds before he responded with a yes.Inspirations for the Air Jordan 20 came from custom trumpets, motorcycle tires and racing boots. David Monette, who designs custom trumpets and engraves designs (better known as lasering) was the cause of the
Air Jordan XX for having the lasering on the mid foot strap.The specs on the Air Jordan XX are insane, and since its Jordan Brand, you know already they were going to have the best technology. Some of the great qualities are: I.P.S.(Independent Podular Suspension) “pods”, internal shank plate, phylon mid sole, and a cool strap to make the shoe feel a little more “secured” to your foot. When the
jordan discount shoes released in 2005 a total of three colorways, plus a “Regional Pack”, (that also contained three colorways) retail was $175.00.
