Air Jordan 16.5 - Black / Varsity Red

Combining two sneakers to form one is no new design trick for the folks over at Jordan Brand, and today we have our first look at a new Air Jordan hybrid which meshes together the Air Jordan XVI (16) and the Air Jordan XVII (17). Though the elements of the Air Jordan 16 are much more prevalent in this sneaker, hints of the Air Jordan 17 can be found on the lace region which features two rows of laceholes. Components of the AJ16 can be seen via the patent leather toebox, midsole, tongue, and the overall design of the upper. This colorway of the Air Jordan 16.5 is very similar to the Original Black/Varsity Red color scheme of the Air Jordan 16 which released back in 2001. Another interesting aspect of this pair is the word “Jordan” written in braille on the heel. Jordan Brand’s newest hybrid, the Air Jordan 16.5, will be available for purchase in November 2009.

  5. These is fire ppls stop the hate these are the best .5 hybrid or wateva you wanna call these they fresh clean and colorway is a classic

  6. The 16's was my favorite Air Jordan shoe. I am so happy the 16.5's are coming out. These look 100% better than any Jordan that has come out this year. I am picking up every pair times 2.

    Hot for sure.

    I hope adidas and reebok get there game up.

  7. nice i just might cop these but come november theres to much heat comin out then and after

  8. Man Trock, I hope you didn't pay full price for them 2k9's cuz they bought to hit the clearance rack in a minute.

  9. I agree, these are the best .5's yet…..I probably won't get these though…and yeah man, the 09's should be in the Clearance rack soon…they're whack!!!

  13. TRUTH BE TOLD, ME AND MY PPL DON'T EVEN WEAR MIKE'S ANYMORE BUT THESE GOTTA BE THE MEANEST HYBRID THUS FAR! THEY'RE TOUGH!

  14. yo if those dots on the back are braille then that is crazyyy. that would kill it! if that is braille ima get em. cuz theyre nice but yeahh theres gonna be a lot of heat this year. and im dying for some bordeaux vii jb please!

  15. These are the best of the hybrids. I wont't be coppin these cause my money will be tied up in the Space Jams and the Black/Red 12s. I will be gettin the Black/Red Dub Zero's in June so these aren't necessary.
