Blog Submitted by sh460121 on 04/22/2016 at 10:34 PM Report Blog
Following a preview of the Air Jordan XXX, we’re now able to offer a closer look at the milestone model. The anniversary-marking shoe is an amalgamation of a variety of influences. From keystone moments in Jordan’s career to the brand’s evolution over the years, the XXX is a fitting representation of achievements come full circle. These feature a blacked out woven upper with the only hits of color coming from the translucent outsole, globe emblem and galaxy print on the midsole. If you were interested in grabbing a pair but wanted to know about the shoes performance then you can check out our performance review here. For the first time, Cheap Jordans 2016 combined Nike’s Flyknit technology, an engineered yarn, into woven construction, giving the upper of the Jordan XXX a dual-engineered construction focused on lightweight support. The jacquard construction, a weaving technique, created an argyle pattern across much of the upper for an obvious nod to Jordan’s University of North Carolina roots. The Jordan XX9 had a woven upper and Nike’s recent release of the KD8 had the Flyweave technology, while other Nike shoes, such as the Kobe line, feature Flyknit. The toecap includes abrasion-resistant printing, another new aspect for the Jordan line and a third technology used in the upper construction. The smooth toe serves a technical aspect, as well as paying tribute to Jordan’s desires. “Michael has always been very infatuated with the toe-down look of a shoe,” Hatfield says. Air Jordans 2016, With Tinker Hatfield at the helm of the Jordan XXX release on Thursday, there was no surprise Jordan Brand pulled off a few extra technological tweaks on the anniversary shoe that bears Michael Jordan’s signature. The silhouette is defined by five main components: height, toe, traction, material and fit. Jordan’s request to designer Tinker Hatfield to “make [the shoe] look fast” is accomplished via a first-of-its-kind knit collar and XXX graphic along the heel and forefoot. A smooth toe piece fashioned by Mark Smith using a new printing technique offers unparalleled breathability. Materials have always been critical to the success of Jordan silhouettes. As such, the XXX uses a combination of woven, knit and printed fabrics, where each plays a crucial role in select portions of the shoe. The Air Jordan line, while a powerful design symbol in basketball sneakers, must still serve the needs of current NBA athletes, such as Russell Westbrook. Technology gets the XXX ready for today’s needs. The woven upper provides “strength,” says Hatfield, “and makes good sense for the body of the shoe, because you can bring in strength and graphic elements that are actually woven right in.” At the ankle and through the interior, knit offers “softness and breathability.”
