Jordan OG 3/4 White Garnet Sneakers Provide Eye-Catching Style

Like much of Hatfield’s best work (including the “Black Cat” design of the 13s), the devil is in the details. In order to create a shoe that could summarize the life and career of the greatest basketball player of all time, Hatfield and his team filled the 20s with visual texture that carries hidden meaning. They reward any Michael Jordan enthusiast’s close inspection. For instance:

In addition, the uppers are adorned with over 200 graphic icons that highlight moments not only from Jordan’s career but from his life outside of basketball, including a 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that commemorates Jordan’s mother and a toolbox reading “POPS” in honor of his dad. The twenty “pods” (described below) each feature a different inscribed graphic representing one of the 20 models of Air Jordans.

  • On the back of the left heel are the numbers 85 and 05 – marking the release year of the first Air Jordans as well as marking the 20th anniversary
  • Six contrasting color “rings” on the heel commemorate the six championship titles that Jordan won
  • The dimples along the side of the sneaker number 69 – the number of points that MJ racked up in the highest-scoring game of his career

History of Air Jordan 19

2005 was a big year for Jordan Brand: the twentieth anniversary of the Air Jordan. After two decades of pioneering technical and style innovations that had pushed the sneaker industry forward, it was time for the brand to look back on what it had accomplished. To do that without getting lost in nostalgia, Jordan called on Tinker Hatfield, the designer behind most of the Jordans worn on the court by MJ himself, to create something that would honor the legacies of both Jordan the player and Jordan the brand. Hatfield delivered. The Air Jordan 20 is a wearable retrospective of Michael Jordan’s life and career that also introduced several new features that would forever be associated with the Jordan line.

Jordan 20 OG 3/4 White Garnet 2005

The Air Jordan 20 OG 3/4 shoes are an interesting spin on the traditional basketball shoe design. These mid-cut shoes cover more of the ankle than low-rise Jordans, but they do not have the high ankle strap of regular Jordan 20s. The colorway for these white and red Jordans is particularly striking. The embossed leather upper is mostly white, but a few patches of black synthetic rubber on the heel and toe add some stylistic flair. The mostly neutral color scheme includes some pops of color in the deep red shoe lining, collar, and sole.
