During Michael Jordan's last year in the NBA, he opted for the Air Jordan 18, a basketball shoe that drew inspiration from Italian design and sleek sports cars. Among the range, the 'Sport Royal' edition stands out as an original colorway released in 2003. This particular variant showcases a refined black suede upper complemented by a shroud that conceals the lacing system. Additionally, the carbon fiber midsole boasts pops of vibrant royal blue tones that effortlessly coordinate with the color of the sockliner, completing the overall aesthetic of this iconic shoe.
