Combining two sneakers to form one is no new design trick for the folks over at Jordan Brand, and today we have our first look at a new Air Jordan hybrid which meshes together the Air Jordan XVI (16) and the Air Jordan XVII (17). Though the elements of the Air Jordan 16 are much more prevalent in this sneaker, hints of the Air Jordan 17 can be found on the lace region which features two rows of laceholes. Components of the AJ16 can be seen via the patent leather toebox, midsole, tongue, and the overall design of the upper. This colorway of the Air Jordan 16.5 is very similar to the Original Black/Varsity Red color scheme of the Air Jordan 16 which released back in 2001. Another interesting aspect of this pair is the word “Jordan” written in braille on the heel. Jordan Brand’s newest hybrid, the Air Jordan 16.5, will be available for purchase in November 2009.

They Okay. I would wear them 4 basketball shoes, but no where else
the 16s and 18s are the best shoe from the legacy series
these are ugly
not wroth my money
nice ..very tough
These are the best of the hybrids. I wont't be coppin these cause my money will be tied up in the Space Jams and the Black/Red 12s. I will be gettin the Black/Red Dub Zero's in June so these aren't necessary.
who remembers the sketch of the 14.5s i want those instead?
they looked like they had some promise
Nice site. Thank you, finally a decent website with good information in it.
Just got me a pair of these. Awesome!
