Air Jordan XX8 is greatly by large an inspiration of Ray Allen’s clutch three-pointer in the finals of 2013, and thus it will be more of a PE kind of version with the exception that it does not feature the name of the player. But as Nike’s Champions Think 16 Collection, the sneaker is expected to do extremely well saleswise due to its uniqueness and attractive features that are rarely seen with the JB products. Among the most notable is the silhouette’s signature ankle support that is designed to enable the user to fold it down. That gives the sneaker new looks every time you change the position of the ankle.

Other feature or highlight that makes this iteration of AJ 28 unique is appearance is the #9- check the silhouette’s lateral side and #5 on the other side. These two are creatively put on the show, but they are just for the beautification but are a tribute to the 95 points that Miami Heat scored during their Game VI victory against their rival San Antonia Spurs. These are key highlights that can also be seen in the images that the company has leaked to the industry. However, the colour scheme is the most exciting thing about the new release!

From the leaked images, AJ XX8 will be dressed in Black, White colorway, and Metallic Gold. The combination is creatively done to bring out a classic silhouette that will leave every sneakerhead thrilled. In the hue combination, black is the dominant colour dressing the entire uppers, and this includes the zip which is stretched from the tongue all the way to the toe box. The Black colour is also applied to the entire midsole. The Metallic Gold details can be seen on the #5 and the Jumpman logo and sprinkles around the heel.

The white hue is one on the liner while the blue translucent outsole finishes the look. With such colour combinations, this is definitely the kind of sneaker that will generate a lot of excitement among sneakerheads. Apart from that, the use of the zip is creatively designed to allow for the easy folding of the extended ankle support.
