Released the year after MJ’s third and final retirement, the Air Jordan XIX is probably best remembered at this point as being paired with the bred AJIVs in 2008’s 4/19 Countdown Pack. This sample gives us a glimpse into what could have been a well-received release, had Michael and the Wizards succeeded in their last-ditch push toward the 2003 NBA Playoffs.
These would have been perfect for home games at the MCI Center, but instead, Mike called it quits, met a beautiful Cuban girl and got inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Association goes on without him, but we suspect LeBron is changing his number for the same reasons you’ll check out more photos after the jump. via Kenlu
