Retro Jordan 16 (XVI)

The Air Jordan XVI is the first model in the line to have a gaiter or shroud. The gaiter is removable, which made them look like a brand new shoe. A downfall about the gaiter is that when worn during a basketball game, they could fall off. Also the Air Jordan XVI is a tight fit with the gaiter's on. The Air Jordan 16 is very lightweight, but was stiff. Don't get me wrong though, the Air Jordan XVI had great quality's like a blow-molded Air unit in the heel, Retro Air Jordan in the forefoot, thermal properties, breathable ballistic mesh upper and patent leather.
