Air Jordan 21 (XX1 or XXI) - Light Graphite / Metallic Silver - University Blue

The Air Jordan 21 (XX1 or XXI) - Light Graphite / Metallic Silver - University Blue were released on June 3, 2006, and retailed for $180. They feature an all grey upper constructed from suede, along with light blue and metallic silver accents. Many consider these to be one of the simplest Air Jordans, as they were designed really for technology and comfort, and looks were put on the back burner. They were designed by D’Wayne Edwards, who took the technology previously seen to a whole new level. Technical features include breathable textile uppers, a double-overlasted phylon midsole supporting four I.P.S.(Independent Podular Suspension) pods on the outsole. They also feature a quilted lining/bootie, which provides a better fit. There is a carbon fibre shank plate in the midsole, as well as an improved I.P.S. technology with interchangeable heel Zoom air pillars or encapsulated air pillars.
