The Air Jordan 18 was released in 2003 and was the shoe for Jordan’s last season.2003 marked the final year for NBA’s most recognized player, Michael Jordan since this was the year that he finally let go of his basketball career, but not for his namesake carrier, Air Jordan.Both the Air Jordan 16′s and the Air Jordan 17′s had a modified model called “+”. With the Air Jordan 18′s this was taken a little bit further and a 18.5 was released.Creator of the design of the Air Jordan 18 (XVIII) was Tate Kuerbis (Jordan Senior Footwear Designer).

The Air Jordan 18 Shoes contained air vents,carbon comfort plate,hidden quick lace system,suede leather uppers and zoom air sole. Since the uppers were made out of suede, they did attract a lot of dust,dirt marks and scuffs.The design was pretty similar but the lace cover was lifted off and the Jumpman was brought forward on the side of the shoe
