When the Air Jordan XVI was originally released in 2001, MJ was already in the middle of his second retirement from the game he loved. After battling on the hardwood night in, night out, he was ready to take on new Nike Air Odyssey Dámské challenges that spread past the game of basketball. The Air Jordan XVI, designed by Wilson Smith with a bit of guidance from Tinker Hatfield, Adidas Superstar Hombre was created with exactly this in mind. “We were inspired by the fact MJ was retiring for the second time and the thought that he was going Nike Air Max 1 Donne from the basketball court to the boardroom”, explained Smith.In many ways, the XVI zigged where other popular styles zagged. “There were a lot of Nike Air Presto Womens shoes that were all rounded off, kind of wavy, big expressions at the time. We thought, ‘What if you just went really straight and clean?’ Thinking Comprar Moncler Chalecos about things more sharp and getting away from that wave thing”. Much of the design was also about refinement and learning from prior models. The XVI took on a design that wouldn’t have been possible without looking back at the Air Jordan XV. “We saw opportunities in the Nike Air Max 2016 Womens XV, where we could make this shoe more flexible, to work naturally with the foot”, said Smith as he looked back on the early days of the Nike Air Vapormax Dames project. “We thought we could take a layer off and just tie it to the foot more”.Once the initial look was established, the XVI began to Adidas ZX 750 Mujer take on additional layers, preparing the shoe for both on-court performance and everyday life. “You could have a couple layers of use because we Nike Roshe Run Dámské saw Jordans being used on the street and on the court”, said Smith. Helping create the transformative design of the Air Jordan XVI, Tinker offered the Nike Air Max 90 Dámské idea of a ‘Spat’, also known as the XVI’s ‘Gaiter’ or ‘Shroud’. “The basic thinking, the spat, the straight lines, that was Tinker. Then it was a lot of well, what will it be like?” he explained.
