The Air Jordan 19 (XIX) Original (OG) SE - Black / Metallic Gold were released on November 13, 2004. They are a bit different the typical Air Jordan 19 (XIX), including no lace lock of protective mesh. They do however feature an all black leather upper with black patent leather on the toe. The gold accents definitely help draw attention to the shoe. They still consist of the features, including a leather upper with easy lace system, and Jumpman on heel and midfoot. Other features include a full length zoom air bag, as well as a 3/4 length carbon fibre shank for added support. The thicker midole, especially at the back on f the shoe, is very heavy, but also provides plenty of cushioning.
