The Air Jordan XX1 is here

There’s not much to say here – the pics speak for themselves. To us, this is a return to the old-school Jordans – very clean lines, not too many add-ons and thingys and flaps. It does come with that little bag – we don’t know what’s in there, but it’s probably magic.

If you haven’t caught the commercial yet, it is quite the kick-ass production. A series of kids playing in youth games reenact MJ’s most iconic moments. Terrific work, for reals – you can watch it right here. Call us a girl, but we got teary-eyed. Here’s the press release on the new shoes.

“With last year’s Air Jordan XX, we looked back and celebrated the past twenty years,” says Michael Jordan, “The Air Jordan XXI is a look toward the future. We’re making the shoe more luxurious and more advanced in terms of technology, which sets the stage for the brand going into the next twenty years.”

The Jordan V will always be our absolute favorite, but these look mighty nice. There was a day when we would’ve been in line on their release date of the 18th to get a pair, but this time we’re waiting until the 19th.

Sorry about the non-jokes, but we rarely make jokes when it comes to Michael Jordan. In fact, we just read this thing over – maybe we should go Photoshop ourselves into a Brokeback Jordan poster. What are we, 14?

(If anyone from Nike & Brand Jordan is reading, we’re a size 12 and very easily persuaded. YAYjordanxx1! is doable by the am.)

The question is…how far would the cavalier go to get a free pair?

Matt I’d go so far as to ask all of you to email this post to Nike like I did.

The bag contains a complex cushioning system that can be changed in and out of the shoe so its more suited to your style of play.

i cant believe as a cavs fan you are bowing down to the mj throne. for his shoes no less! this guy mercilessly beat up on the cavs for so many years, heck, even one of those iconic moments are against the cavs! i will never like this guy.

Yeah I know.

I’ll never ever forget “The Shot” and sitting in front of the TV in a dead stare for an hour afterward.

MJ is da man, though.

11 JONESONTHENBA February 17, 2006 at 3:16 pm

I’m sure for Cav, he treats MJ like the Knicks fans do. Although they hate him for destroying their team, they give him much love for being the G.O.A.T

Been a Knicks fan all my life, hated on Jordan 4ever 4 beating us in the playoffs when we had a really good team, but damn do I respect the man for his game.

Oh yeah, I just had to watch this commercial over and over again, and saying I got teary-eyed might just be the understatement of the century.

Oh the memories…
