Air Jordan XX (2005)

First and foremost, Tinker Hatfield, the genius and master, is back by popular demand to work on the Air Jordan XX. The most noticeable feature of the Jordan XX is the laser etched design on the lace cover depicting various past Air Jordan’s and Michael Jordan’s achievements through his careers. Also prominent is the vaguely huarache-like design. The XX is inspired by motorcycle tyres and Jordan Brand Racing team called Team 23 Racing Team 23 Racing. Representatives have confirmed companies affiliated Michael Jordan will sponsor Montez Stewart in 2005’s AMA Repsol Superstock and Pro Honda Oils Supersport classes.

But when the world’s most famous athlete becomes even remotely involved in any form of sporting or business activity, it’s fodder for much speculation. Reports slowly began to appear on the web that Jordan was putting together an AMA road racing team.

Jordan owns several sports motorcycles and met Stewart through a mutual friend in the Chicago area and decided to help the successful CCS rider. The Air Jordan XX is set to debut in early 2005, packaged in a black & red box with a flip top in the middle which is secured by velcro. The side of box is expected to be embossed with the word “JORDAN.” This model should feature an special 20th Aniversary Edition Coaster.
