2010 has a lot in store for Jordan Brand. Take the Air Jordan Flight 45 for example. For next year, it has been given a high top form with a little twist. The Air Jordan Flight 45 High Double Nickel commemorates Michael Jordan’s “Double Nickel” game against the Knicks, in which he scored 55 points and lit up New York in his fifth game returning from retirement in 1995. The shoe features a Chicago classic white/black/red colorway, with a white leather upper and black Air Jordan III midsole. It uses the iconic Flight 45 strap in white, and “45” is stitched on the ankle to mark the return of MJ as number 45. The side panel and heel panel emphasize his number and the 55 points he scored by featuring a 45 and 55 number design to offset the Air Jordan symbol at the back. The iconic “Flight” logo is placed on the black tongue to complete this throwback new school shoe.
