Air Jordan 22 XX2 PE "Atlanta Hawks Edition" (white / metallic silver / varsity red)

The Air Jordan 22 XX2 PE "Atlanta Hawks Edition" (white / metallic silver / varsity red)  were released on October 6, 2007, retailing for $150. They were part of a regional release, in which each city’s version of the Air Jordan 22 (XXII) was only released in that city. 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).The Atlanta editions feature a white and red colorway constructed from leather, along with the city skyline across the side panel. They seem to also feature a strap which goes across the back heel of the shoe. The clear outsole features red inserts, which besides looking nice, help provide great traction on the hardwood. Other technical features include a phylon midsole, new and improved I.P.S. technology, and hardened heel counter that protects even the most vulnerable athlete from a rolled heel.
