Air Jordan 21

D'Wayne Edwards, the lead designer on the Air Jordan XX1, drew inspiration from a Bentley Continental GT coupe to combine style and substance in this version of the Air Jordan.

The XX1 featured a seamless diamond quilted bootie, super-clean upper and a lower foot air grille. The double-lasted Phylon midsole provided a low profile feel and a carbon fiber shank plate allowed for maximum midfoot and arch support. Possibly the most innovative component of the AJ XX1 was the evolution of the Independent Podular Suspension technology the wearer of the XX1 could choose between Zoom Air or encapsulated Air cushioning in the heel.

Two original colorways of the Air Jordan XX1 released in 2006. The White/Red model was made of full grain leather while the Red/Black was constructed of rich suede. Two low versions were also released in white and in black.

The commercial for the Air Jordan XX1 featured young athletes reenacting famous moments from Michael's career, including the shot on Craig Ehlo, recreations from the Slam Dunk contests, the "last shot," and the infamous "Michael shrug." The tagline of the commercial was "Let your game speak."
