Yesterday, Jordan Brand held an exclusive launch to reveal the 28th installment of the Air Jordan sneaker franchise. Legendary shoe designer Tinker Hatfield and co-designer Josh Heard set out to change the game, creating a strictly basketball technology sneaker to give players the best comfortability on the court. The new Air Jordan XX8 features a outer zip-up unit, protecting the Schoeller inside mesh, and shoe strings. The shoe also includes a responsive Nike Zoom unit and the new ‘Jordan Flight Plate”, making this the lightest sneaker in the Air Jordan franchise history
