AIR JORDAN COLLEZIONE 18/5

Released 2008
History has a way of repeating itself, and this time the Jordan brand is bringing back the Air Jordan XVIII and the Air Jordan V to create the Jordan Collezione 18/5 two-pack of legendary kicks. The Air Jordan V was originally released in 1990 and took its inspiration from the WWII Mustang fighter plane. It was worn by MJ as he won his fourth scoring title, and was also made famous by the "Spike and Mike" collaboration. Details include a synthetic and full-grain leather upper, breathable TPU and mesh quarter panels, a molded and contoured ankle collar and a dynamic-fit sleeve for additional comfort. The midsole is sculpted PU that houses an encapsulated Air Sole unit in the forefoot, along with a large-volume Air Sole unit. The outsole is solid and clear rubber with flex grooves and a multidirectional herringbone pattern for increased traction. The Air Jordan XVIII was worn for MJ's final game in 2003 and was inspired by high-performance Italian racing cars. It features a full-grain suede and leather upper with breathable vents in the ankle and forefoot, along with TPU chrome accents, a lace cover that assists in keeping laces tied, and a foam-backed Lycra® collar for a comfortable fit. Other details include high-tech carbon fiber in the heel, a double-lasted midsole around lightweight Phylon™, double-stacked Zoom Air™ units and a Jordan Carbon Comfort sockliner for arch support and foot frame comfort. The modified herringbone pattern outsole increases traction for lateral and linear motion, with solid rubber pods separated with TPU, a chrome-plated Jumpman and solid rubber that wraps up the heel counter for additional support and style.
