The Air Jordan 19 was introduced in 2004, taking inspiration from the fearsome black mamba snake. Its initial release showcased a timeless 'Bred' color scheme, featuring a black leather foundation accompanied by a tech-flex wrap, a hook-and-loop heel strap, and a patent leather toe box, delineating its unique design. The midsole, vital for comfort and support, incorporates a double-stacked Zoom Air unit in the heel and full-length Zoom Air cushioning. Additionally, the outsole has been modified with herringbone traction for enhanced grip and stability.
