The Air Jordan XVI returns in 2016

[Lee And His Sneaks]

I remember back when I worked at Niketown NY, we couldn't get rid of the Ginger XVIs. Now everybody wants them, LOL.

I remember getting both the gingers and Cherry woods on deep discount. It’s really the only reason I got them; I much prefer the standard Jordan xvi look. The patent leather toe was the best.

Can't stand Westbrook. Love 16s. The dilemma is real.

People still don't want them. People are just nostalgic and borderline desperate for XVI's in general.

The good ole Niketown NY days. That was my go to spot for my J’s. I remember getting the black/red XVI from there. I used a voucher to buy them. Me and my friends would wear our J’s and play ball in them. When we didnt want them anymore we would wash them in the washing machine with hot water and the glue would come apart and we would bring them back to Niketown and get a voucher for the price of the shoe.

This is the only XVI that I would never wear with the shroud.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I would prefer any Team Jordan over those damn Converse's. Wtf were they thinking!?!?

 

[1c3m4m]

I want to see the other side of the shroud

I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing the shroud reversed. But in this case, it might actually look better that way.

im not
i dont like the discoloration of the sole
or the ashy black of the suede
if it was normal leather
and was a plain clear outsole
then i would
also patent leather toe box

Garbage...retro the originals or at least come up with something better than this hot mess.

Agree, but it’s better than nothing.. I’m in to cop only because I’m sentimental about the xvi’s.

I use to Finesse Hibbetts like this

Great!! Just don't fck this up JB......pleeeease! I bought the breds in high school. I walked in and there was a fsr of Columbia retro 11s and I passed on those because I wanted the new Jordan's. That same idea is backward now. Retro's were of low interest and people actually gave the new sig a chance back then. I'll be in for these, if the price is right. Otherwise my OGs are still wearable.

Oh, damn. That was a massive mistake. Columbias had come out a long *** time before the XVIs, right? The XVIs dropped the Saturday of All Star Weekend in 2001.
