What made the
Air Jordans 16 unique was the brand new gaiter/shroud that covered the shoe and that could be removed to give the shoe a brand new look. Not only was this for stylish purposes, it also had a thermal functionality.The
Air Jordans 16 was a little stiff and to wear the shroud/gaiter when playing basketball really wasn¡¯t a good idea, as it pretty easily could fall off. The black/red
Air Jordans 16 and
Air Jordans 16 both featured patent leather which very easily got creased and cracked. Best for playing in were the one¡¯s without patent leather.The overall design was great and it's great to see a new designer put his foot forward.The
Air Jordans 16 will return in 2008.
