In 2001, the Air Jordan 16 was released, following the success of the Air jordan XV's. There was no doubt that Air Jordan brand would likely keep liberating Air Jordan's other designs. The Air Jordans 16's were the following chance to strike the series. Nike's Senior Footwear Designer Wilson Smith created Jordan 16 shoes. That indicating it had been the 1st design considering that III's(Tinker Hatfield wasn't behind). Persons believed Hatfield needed to shifted up and he remaining Smith using the difficult job in making a new style. Smith decide to provide in a number of style elements/fabrics through previously produces. For example we got the return of the obvious rubber sole (Air Jordan 5V, Air Jordan 6VI, Air Jordan 11XI) and they also featured patent leather (Air Jordan XI). But what made the Air Jordan XVI's 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.
