Air Jordan 19 (XIX) - 006

Air Jordan 19

The Air Jordan 19 was released in 2004. Nike let other basketball players such as Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Carmelo Anthony and of course Ray Allen, to promote the new Air Jordan after Michael Jordan retired. Air Jordans 19 featured an ultimate combination of sport and style. The design of the Air Jordan 19 was inspired by the most dangerous snake on earth, the Black Mamba. Again Tate Kuerbis (Jordan Senior Footwear Designer) was the driving force of the model but he was highly supported by persons such as Jason Mayden, Wilson Smith, Josh Heard and Suzette Henri, so maybe one could say that this was the largest joint effort within Air Jordan design ever. A material was used in the Air Jordan 19 that had never been associated with shoewear design ever before. The industrial braided sleeving (also called tech-flex) that was the main ingredient of the design is a material used in the automotive industry. A superb material that stretches comfortably but has enormous support capabilities.

Released March 2004
The futuristic Air Jordan XIX continues in the grand Jordan tradition of taking basketball technology to where no other shoe has been before. This latest model sets a higher standard in meeting performance needs with new materials and innovations. Modeled after a black mamba snake, the strong, durable and completely functional Tech Flex midfoot shroud comfortably forms over the foot without adding weight and remaining completely breathable. Look for superstars Jason Kidd, Gary Payton and Carmelo Anthony in the Air Jordan XIX during the rest of the 2004 NBA season.

Tech-Flex and leather upper with heel clasp for lock down fit. CMEVA midsole with full-length double-stacked heel Zoom Air™ unit. Solid rubber and sticky rubber outsole.
