The Air Jordan shoes 19 was released in 2004. The Air Jordan shoes 19 was produced in many Player Exclusive colorways for NBA stars like Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Carmelo Anthony, and Ray Allen. The Air Jordan 19 is the lightest and most supportive Air Jordan shoes to date and features an ultimate combination sport and style.
The Black Mamba
The design of the Air Jordan 19 was inspired by the most dangerous snake on earth, the Black Mamba. Again Tate Kuerbis (Jordan Senior Footwear Designer) was the driving force of the model but he was highly supported by persons such as Jason Mayden, Wilson Smith, Josh Heard and Suzette Henri, so maybe one could say that this was the largest joint effort within Air Jordan design ever.
High-tech FlexThe joint effort was needed. In Air Jordan shoes 19 a material was used that had never been associated with shoewear design ever before. The industrial braided sleeving (also called tech-flex) that was the main ingredient of the design is a material used in the automotive industry. A superb material that stretches comfortably but has enormous support capabilities.Double Stack AirThe Air Jordan shoes 19’s were equipped with a double stack Air Sole unit in the heel combined with a full length zoom air bag. This made the shoe one of the most comfortable Air Jordans’s ever released. As the shoe was also put together in a very unique way very few seems were felt on the inside - another feature that made them extremely comfortable.Divided Box
The Air Jordan shoes 19 box was not nearly as nice as the one for the Air Jordan shoes 18, but the cool feature was that it was divided into two slots. In the slots you found your shoes neatly packaged in net shoe-bags.
Jordan SE
On the Air Jordan XVI XVII, modified models came as “+”, and on the Air Jordan shoes XVIII modified models came as XVIII.5 or 18.5. Now on the Air Jordan XIX modified models came as SE (which stands for Special Edition).
In 2004 when the Air Jordan shoes XIX released, five colorways released, and three were in a “Regional Pack”, with retail set at $165.00. Four Low models were released ($115.00) and four SE models as well ($165.00).
