Air Jordan 20 Low
The Air Jordan XX was the first milestone model Air Jordan to arrive in this millennium as far as major anniversaries for the line go (Later we got the XX3 and next year we’ll get the three-decades deep 30th version). Taking us back to 2005 is this pair of the Air Jordan 20 created for Mike Bibby, that NBA traveling man who is currently without a home in the league. Continue reading to see how this Air Jordan 20 Low from Bibby’s Kings era gets upgraded with some personal touches and then let us know if they’re worth the price.

Air Jordan 20
To commemorate 20 years of the Air Jordan, in 2005 legendary designer Tinker Hatfield returned to work on the Air Jordan XX. Hatfield drew inspiration from several sources in Jordan's life, including his love of motor sports.
The Air Jordan XX featured a breathable sphere lining, an integrated midfoot support strap, a floating ankle leash and an internalized impact distribution plate. The hidden lacing system and midfoot strap offered a lockdown performance fit. Independent Podular Suspension, a free-moving targeted cushioning technology, was introduced in the Air Jordan XX.
On the back heel of the Air Jordan XX the numbers 85 and 05, which signified the year the Air Jordan line was introduced and the year the XX released. The outsole of the Air Jordan XX displayed 20 herringbone pods that displayed the heritage of the Air Jordan franchise. Perhaps the most interesting highlight of the AJ XX was the laser-etched logo treatment on the strap of the XX. Created by Mark Smith, this design paid homage to Jordan's life.
The Air Jordan XX released in three original colorways: White/Red/Black, Black/Black/Red and White/Black/Red. Three regional colorways were also released: Chutney/White/Black, Red/White/Black and University Blue/White/Black. An Air Jordan XX low and a ¾ were also released in 2005.
Multiple NBA players wore the Air Jordan XX during the 2004-2005 season, including Ray Allen and Carmelo Anthony.
