In 2001, the Air Jordan 16 'Midnight Navy' was introduced to the market, blending various elements from previous Air Jordans to cater to both on-court and off-court fashion. A distinctive shroud, taking inspiration from 19th-century spats, adds a touch of style that perfectly complements streetwear. Meanwhile, the combination of Zoom Air and Nike Air cushioning ensures exceptional comfort during basketball games. Although the initial release was in 2001, it wasn't until 2016 that the Air Jordan 16 'Midnight Navy' saw its first retro version. To pay homage to the Air Jordan 16's significance in the Jordan brand's legacy, the design incorporates sixteen dots and dashes forming the Jordan branding.
