With so many Jordan hybrid sneakers paying respect to earlier Air Jordan classics, it’s refreshing to see one that references some later models. We’ve already seen the Dub Zero, Spiz-ike, Six Rings and 60 Plus, as well as a couple of other “.5’s” and now it’s the Air Jordan XVI and XVII being combined into one shoe. The Jordan 16.5 features many recognizable attributes of both models although it seems that the design was more heavily influenced by the XVI. The distinguishable eyelets and the toe section of the midsole are obviously nods to the XVII, while the black patent toe and tongue and the heel of the midsole along with the color scheme make the shoe look a lot like the original colorway of the Air Jordan XVI. Hybrid models don’t work out a lot of the time, but this combination seems to come together pretty seamlessly. Look for these to drop this November and stay tuned for more info.
