Collection Starter: Air Jordan 16 Black/ Varsity Red (2001/2008)
“Everything about the Air Jordan XVI had me mesmerized as a kid. The look and the fact that they released on MJ’s birthday; but most of all, the “Much Respect” ad campaign. By far my favorite Air Jordan commercial. Anytime I hear “Umi Says” by Mos Def, I instantly reminisce and think about the Air Jordan XVI; and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even though I outgrew the original pair I had as a kid, this CDP retro pair from 2008 has captivated me just as much.”
