Hi all,

I plan to collect all Jordan's from 1-30.
However, I haven't really paid attention to air Jordan's since around AJ20.

Also, there's not as much information on them online.
I wanna collect them in the Bulls color theme.
I have a few questions on some of them hopefully
You guys can answer.

1. The original color for the aj27 seems to be gray/neon green. Can't seem to find a Wht/red/Blk theme. Did they ever come out in that colorway?

2. The aj28 came with a shroud, but I also see version without the shroud. What's the difference?

the Jordan XXVII is named the Jordan 2010. Here is a white/black/red color:
Style: 508320-182

The Jordan XX8's main version has the shroud. The cheaper version, called the Jordan XX8 SE, is the one without the shroud.

The reason for the year instead of number is that Jordan Brand removed the numbering after the XX3 (23) so they were just referenced by year from 2009 until 2012. The numbering resumed at the XX8.
 
^figured they would continue with the year at the 30 also, Jordan xxx wasnt the ideal name imo lol

Thanks for the info. I did some research on the 27(2012)
Seems that some come with different insoles and linings. Seems the whtredblk one doesn't? What are the differences? Is it just the optional parts?

Some pairs as you stated have different insoles. The original color way had several insoles that came in the packaging.
 
The Air Jordan 2012 (27) were designed to be very modular by having 2 different inner booties (mid cut vs hi cut with velcro strap around the ankles) and 3 different insoles (zoom air, encapsulated air, max air).
I have the white/black-varsity reds in hi cut with max air.
The Wolf grey/volts were deluxe coming with both inner booties and all 3 insoles.
Imo they are very underrated air jordans. I compare them with the air jordan 9 that was also much overlooked during its initial release while being a good basketball back then.
 
The 20s were a breakthrough for their creativity but it was all downhill from 21 on honestly.

21 is fire to me. I love the first cw. 22 and up is trash but the white 22 slightly grew on me recently. still wouldn't cop unless 50 bucks.
 
:lol:
IMO JB should have stopped the "Air Jordan" line at XX3.

IMO the XX would be a good finish as it summed up all previous models and MJ achievements with the laser prints and MJ was not coming back finally.
Originally Nike wanted to stop with the Air Jordan 10 but MJs Comeback made them back on track.

Thank God they didnt, xi - xiii are arguably my favorite 3 models.

i thought MJ talked them out of scrapping the Jordan series because Jordan's team believed he was still marketable even though he wasnt a player.
 
Do I-XX3, skip to XX9 with the big Jumpan, then grab a pair of XXX's. You can also grab a pair of XX8's but do NOT get the other pairs in between...
 
stealth XX were ds last DOPE new jordan.. Da XX1's were decent, and XX3's were s decent send off..

Everything else has been meh...

Although da XX8 SE i copped cuz i LOVED da melo X's SOOO much & they have da exact same tooling.
 
^XX1s are dope Of course, I thought they were total crap in '06. The white/black, the all grey and the the shoe that is the grand daddy of "raging bull" and "Ferrari" colorways are all very dope sneakers.



The Air Jordan XX6 (2011) is starting to grow on me. It's such a simple clean shoe with a clear outsole that sets it off. Whenever I see a pair (usually beat to the ground at this point) I wish I had some stashed away.

I now plan to get 1-23, 2012, 29 and 30.
I actually like the 29's with the MJ photo. Don't plan on wearing them though. I think they would only look nice on display. View media item 2012920
