More on the Jordan 20 Retro Countdown Pack 2008

Like much of Hatfield’s best work (including the “Black Cat” design of the 13s), the devil is in the details. In order to create a shoe that could summarize the life and career of the greatest basketball player of all time, Hatfield and his team filled the 20s with visual texture that carries hidden meaning. They reward any Michael Jordan enthusiast’s close inspection. For instance:

In addition, the uppers are adorned with over 200 graphic icons that highlight moments not only from Jordan’s career but from his life outside of basketball, including a 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that commemorates Jordan’s mother and a toolbox reading “POPS” in honor of his dad. The twenty “pods” (described below) each feature a different inscribed graphic representing one of the 20 models of Air Jordans.

  • On the back of the left heel are the numbers 85 and 05 – marking the release year of the first Air Jordans as well as marking the 20th anniversary
  • Six contrasting color “rings” on the heel commemorate the six championship titles that Jordan won
  • The dimples along the side of the sneaker number 69 – the number of points that MJ racked up in the highest-scoring game of his career

History of Air Jordan 19

2005 was a big year for Jordan Brand: the twentieth anniversary of the Air Jordan. After two decades of pioneering technical and style innovations that had pushed the sneaker industry forward, it was time for the brand to look back on what it had accomplished. To do that without getting lost in nostalgia, Jordan called on Tinker Hatfield, the designer behind most of the Jordans worn on the court by MJ himself, to create something that would honor the legacies of both Jordan the player and Jordan the brand. Hatfield delivered. The Air Jordan 20 is a wearable retrospective of Michael Jordan’s life and career that also introduced several new features that would forever be associated with the Jordan line.

Jordan 20 Retro Countdown Pack 2008

One half of the 2008 Countdown Pack, the Jordan 20 Retro was released to celebrate Michael Jordan’s legendary basketball career. The Jordan Retro Countdown features an all-black construction with charcoal accents. An ankle strap and a strap across the upper are also featured, and across the whole of the upper is a laser-etched design to add contrast and flair to the otherwise simple design. On the heel of the black Jordans is Jordan branding with a black Jumpman logo.
