Nike Unveils Air Jordan XX9

Michael Jordan has introduced the 29^th edition of his shoe, the Air Jordan, on Thursday in Manhattan. Air Jordan XX9 will be available for purchase in September. Each pair will reportedly cost $225. According to Tinker Hatfield, designer for 19 of the 29 Air Jordan shoes, the new version consists of a high-tech weaving process from Italy, where a part of the shoe will be manufactured. The same process is used for manufacturing high-quality silk neckties. The remaining parts of the shoe will be created and assembled in Asia. Designing the Air Jordan XX9 took over two years to complete, with over 20 people involved.
