“Lunar New Year Air Jordan” The XXII incorporates several crucial properties providing the athlete with the best fit and protection. In terms of protection the new diamond shape with extended heel brace offers support never seen before minimizing the risk of a rolled ankle in the process.
Regarding mid-region stability the patented shank plate is now made of titanium (‘Ti’ with an atomic number of you guessed it 22) making it not only stronger but also lighter. In relation to comfort the I.P.S. returns yet with a new feature; it’s visible. This time the IPS is color coded so the athlete can choose their cushioning for each pod; choose a responsive, double stacked Zoom Air pod or a shock absorbing air capsule. The translucent, pod-like outsole sticks to the court better than ever before so the player can make cuts and stops without hesitation knowing that the 22s also possess top of the line ankle support. An added touch in terms of both fashion and function is the variable speed lacing system that offers both matching titanium lace loops and a durable titanium lace lock.
