The Exclusive Jordan PE Josh Howard Kicks

In 2007, D’Wayne Edwards was back as lead designer for the second time in a row, bringing his distinctive futuristic style to Air Jordan. Like the model he designed the previous year, the 22 features a deceptively simple aesthetic that conceals hidden details and big technology.

AJ 22 Design and Features

The Air Jordan 22 (often styled as Air Jordan XX2), like many previous editions, is inspired by a high performance vehicle. This year, Jordan Brand looked to the sky, taking design cues from the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet. Regarded at the time as the most advanced military aircraft ever built, the Raptor was fast, aggressive and able to easily blow past enemy defences before the enemy knew what was happening: just like His Airness.

Edwards began by translating the strong, angular lines of the Raptor into the aggressively sweeping panels and zigzag stitching on the upper. Hearkening back to the Raptor’s stealth capabilities, the shoe also features a special, reflective 3M material camouflage print that changes the look of the shoe as lighting conditions vary. Similarly, the heel features a special heel cap that makes the Jumpman invisible from certain angles.

Like Edwards’ other Jordan design, the 22s possess a super-premium look and feel that also provides long-term durability. The attention to premium materials continues inside the shoe, with a beautiful, comfortable quilted cloth lining.

These Player Exclusive Jordans were created for Josh Howard, the former forward/guard of the Dallas Mavericks. The design of the shoe takes inspiration from a fighter jet. The full-grain leather upper is designed for maximum durability. The traction pattern of the kicks is in the shape of chevrons like a car tire, meant to grip surfaces. The shoe, primarily white, is accented by Midnight Navy and Metallic Silver. The customizable Independent Popular Suspension system features tuned support columns beneath the foot to absorb shock and provide padding. A titanium shank sits between the heel and ball of the foot to provide protection for the wearer. Above the Jumpman on the tongue, Josh Howard's initials are inscribed with his jersey number.
