Air Jordan 20. The shoe was inspired by a motorcycle and is complete with the high-tech IPS cushion.
As slick, sleek and smooth as the snake that lends it likeness to the XIX, this shoe had as violent an impact on the sneaker community as a bite from the aforementioned Black Mamba. Backing up his promise to "take a step further" with the shoe, Tate Kuerbis introduced us to the Tech Flex material that gives this Jordan its unique appearance. Although the world was never given the chance to see the XIX on Mike’s feet, the versatility, comfort and traction of this were enough to make it an instant classic.

- Although not as expensive as either the XVIII or the XVII, the XIX came with each shoe packed in its own net bag.
