Jordan VII Defining Moments
Jordan 6ixty Plus
Penny


  Air Jordan XVI
7.7 / 10
Comfort: 8.5
Performance: 8.5
Cushioning: 8
Safety: 7
Weight: 7.5
Durability: 6.5
Style: 7.5
Overview: The removable gaiter or shroud, whatever you decide to call it, is the innovative concept on the XVI. The shoe also combines the highlights of previous Jordan models into this one shoe. Overall fit and feel makes the XVI feel like an extension of your foot, resulting in both comfort and on court performance. We should point out that the traction on the black/red can get very slippery but the same problem does not exist in the other colorways. Ankle support could be improved. Durability gets a low mark due to bad quality of material and craftsmanship (chipped paint, easily scuff'ed upper, wrinkled and cracked patent leather). Shoes are also condition sensitive due to the clear soles that yellow easily, which has translated into high demand for deadstock XVI's. Low top version comes with an innovative convertible drop top concept.
