The Air Jordan XXI is one of the most innovative shoes Nike ever created.  Never before could you customize the cushioning and shock absorbing components of your shoes.  In the rearfoot of the shoes is a hexagon shaped insert that can be changed from the low profile, responsive Zoom Air to the protective, higher profile Max Air.  The XXI is one of the most underrated high performance basketball shoes in the history of Nike. These shoes are new in box, unworn with all original packaging.  I have over 23 years of experience in the athletic footwear industry and can tell you that these shoes will increase in value dramatically as a collectible over time.  They retail for $310 plus tax.  Place a Bid!
