The 13th generation of Jordan was released in 1997. All signs indicate that the 1997-1998 season will be Jordan's last season in the NBA, so fans are frantically collecting anything related to this great man. At this time, Nike officially separated the Jordan trademark as an independent brand from Nike and became an independent subsidiary, which is to form a relatively independent brand. The launch of the 13th generation is particularly important. The designer was inspired by the African cheetah. The shape of the sole is like the sole of a cheetah. The most noteworthy thing is the holographic laser icon located on the outside of the upper, which includes: a basketball, numbers 23, trapeze logo. This has become a highlight of the 13th generation. In terms of technology: full-length zoom air, the midsole still uses a large area of ??carbon fiber material to provide good support and stability. The upper is composed of genuine leather, synthetic leather and nylon cloth, which reduces weight while providing better toughness. . Personally, I prefer the 13th generation, especially the black and red and white and red models of the original year. Currently, there is a white and gold replica of the 13th generation on the market in Beijing. Jordan 14th generation. Launched in 1998. Do you still remember that night? On June 14, 1998, in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the home court of the Jazz, Jordan stole the ball from Malone and moved it to the frontcourt. With a series of dribbles, he accelerated, stopped suddenly and passed Russell. The shocking jump shot, the time was frozen at 5.2 seconds before the end, at the feet of this giant who stood at the top of basketball. The design inspiration of the 14th generation comes from Jordan's Ferrari sports car. The way of inspiring design based on real things has a profound impact on the following generations of Jordan shoes. This time the logo combines the characteristics of Ferrari and Jumpman, as well as the iconic Ferrari air vents that are exciting for fans and fans. This design located in the midsole not only provides good support and stability, but also makes fans excited. The more mature full-length zoom air technology makes the cushioning even better. The outsole made of wear-resistant rubber and the full-length herringbone pattern provide good traction and traction. The 14th generation is extremely fast and the weight is the lightest since the 11th generation. No matter what, the 14th generation of Jordan carried such an unprecedented swan song. We will never forget that scene. The 15th generation of Jordan was released in 1999. Jordan is really gone, stepped down from his altar, and turned into a 36-year-old man strolling on the golf lawn. But people's enthusiasm for the Jordan series of basketball shoes remains unabated. The design of the 15th generation is derived from the F-15 fighter jet. The biggest feature is an unusual tongue. The tongue is not close to the upper but opens forward, making people immediately think of Jordan's tongue that can never be put in his mouth. The entire pair of shoes uses a shoe cover design to make it easy to put on and take off. For the first time, rattan woven fabric is used as the upper material, showing a unique level of craftsmanship. On the heel of the shoe, there is a row of numbers, which are 23 (shirt number), 6 (six championships), 15 (15th generation), and the sole is a Jumpman logo and the words 2.17 (Jordan’s birthday). In terms of technology: the full-length zoom air provides good shock-absorbing performance, the front and rear palms are widened in two places, and the mid-palm support tray brings more stability. The 15th generation is also the shoe that Jordan has not worn since the 9th generation. However, because Jordan wore the replica version of the 9th generation in subsequent games, the 15th generation is the only pair of shoes that Jordan has never worn in official games. The 16th generation of Jordan was released in 2001. Although Jordan left the court, he still could not be separated from his beloved basketball, so he became the owner of the Wizards, and the myth of the Jordan series of basketball shoes continued. When you first meet the 16th generation, you will feel a sense of déjà vu. The patent leather toe cap is from the 11th generation, it can be seen that the air cushion and mesh materials are from the 5th generation, and the translucent outsole is from the 6th generation. The important thing is that this is not a simple imitation, but a bolder innovation and continuation based on these classic designs, the most important of which are the detachable magnetic shoe cover design and the new Blow-molser Air cushion. The removable shoe cover design is very clever. Removing the shoe cover reduces the weight of the 16th generation, increases breathability and flexibility, and is more suitable for playing ball. The 16th generation with shoe covers has a very strong overall feel, a novel appearance and full of fashion. It was like an athlete who had just been hired on the field suddenly changed into a crisp suit and shuttled between office buildings. If you look carefully, you will find that the Jordan word on the outside of the midsole is composed of 16 patterns, and there is also a 3/4 palm window air cushion on the midsole, which is actually to match the Blow-molser Air cushion in the midsole. Adding another layer of the same gives a great overall look.
In terms of technology: the upper made of mesh material, suede and genuine leather has better breathability and toughness. The thickened design of the shoe mouth makes the shoe close to the ankle and obtains an excellent wrapping feeling. The full-length carbon fiber support tray Strong and stable, the Zoom Air cushion in the forefoot and the Blow-molser Air cushion in the back have a good sense of speed and cushioning. At the same time, it reduces the height of the shoe to a certain extent, making the sole closer to the bottom and obtaining the best field feel. The 17th generation of Jordan was released in 2002. The design of the 17th generation is inspired by jazz and the pure aristocratic British Aston Martin cars. The first thing I felt when I first saw the 17th generation was luxury. The metal shoe box was equipped with an embossed Jumpman logo. It was the first time in the history of sports shoes that the design of the shoe box was so radical. The 17th generation is destined to be different from other Jordan shoes. Sure enough, the price reached US$200 (RMB 1,680), reaching the peak of the price of sports shoes. The 17th generation continues the shoe cover design of the 16th generation. There are two rows of shoelace holes on both sides of the upper, and the outer shoelace holes are used for buckle shoe covers. The material is made of fabric material with excellent toughness and synthetic leather. In terms of technology, the Zoom Air cushion in the forefoot is paired with the new Blow-molser Air cushion in the rear palm, the lightweight Phylon midsole, and the full-length TPU support tray, all of which make the 17th generation excellent in performance. In the middle of the shoe, the Jumpman logo is looming in the blue TPU layer and the Jordan word on the silver heel stabilizer bar is a classic design that combines performance and appearance. The 18th generation of Jordan was launched in 2003. In the 2002-2003 season, Jordan repeatedly emphasized that this was the last season of his career. Due to injuries and age, it was time for the veteran player to make an accounting for his career. He also knew that the 18th generation would be the last pair of boots to compete on the court, so Jordan was personally involved in the design of the 18th generation from beginning to end. If the 17th generation represents Jordan’s kingly style and aristocratic temperament. Then the 18th generation interprets the maturity and wisdom of a 40-year-old man. The whole piece of suede covers the shoe body, and there are no stitching marks on the upper9. Coupled with the hidden shoelace system, the upper has an excellent overall feel. The design of the shoe tongue is quite innovative. The top of the shoe tongue is connected to the upper skin of the shoe with a strong magnet, which ensures the integrity of the shoe body and also hides the shoelaces. The tongue and both sides of the ankle are designed with metal mesh material, which provides good support and ventilation. The thickened design of the shoe mouth and the application of Lycra fabric bring more comfort. In terms of technology: full-length Zoom Air cushioning plus an independent rear-palm Zoom Air cushion unit, lightweight Phylon midsole, full-length TPU support tray and new CCCP technology make the performance of the 18th generation reach the peak of the Jordan series. The 18th generation was the last pair of shoes Jordan wore on the court. Both in terms of performance and appearance, they reached the pinnacle of the Jordan series.
