Air Jordan 2009

This sneaker was released in early 2009. It is called the 2009 because the Air Jordan shoe produced directly before it was the 23/XXIII, and as Michael Jordan's number was 23, they didn't name any more shoes numerically.The Air Jordan 2009 incorporates a new, innovative technology in basketball footwear called Articulated Propulsion Technology, or APT. The carbon fiber prosthetic running technology used by Paralympians such as April Holmes, a Team Jordan track and field athlete and the world record holder in the 100, 200 and 400-meter races, inspired designers to incorporate those elements into the shoe and results in its futuristic look.
