The Air Jordan 22 (XX2 or XXII) - Omega (White / Varsity Red - Black)were released on June 2, 2007 and retailed for $175. They feature a picture of Michael Jordan with his arms extended in the air after a win. This shoe features a half white/ half red upper, white a clear outsole. The Air Jordan 22 (XXII) was inspired by the F-22 Raptor Strike Fighter. When you look at the F-22 Raptor you see the sharp aerodynamic cuts that can cut through the air like ice. Some of these characteristics of the F-22 can be seen on the Air Jordan 22 (XXII). They grey contrast stitching is a nice touch, and feature a zig zag design, which goes back to the fighter jet, which moves the same way through the air, allowing it to remain unseen on enemy radars. Other features include a variable speed lacing system coupled with titanium lace loops as well as a durable titanium lace lock which allows a comfortable and sturdy fit. They also consist of a improved, color coded I.P.S. system which allows the wearer to choose his cushioning for each pod with either a responsive, double stacked Zoom Air pod, or a shock absorbing encapsulated air. Not only are these a very nice colorway, but the concept of the illustration on the side panel has never been seen on any pair of Air Jordans.
