The XVIII holds the distinction of being the final Air Jordan worn by MJ in his landmark career. But it's also a shoe of firsts. Inspired by Italian high-performance racing cars, the XVIII employs a virtual one-piece upper in addition to a patented carbon fiber Comfort Control Plate and dual-layer Zoom Air Cushioning.
Though this is MJ's final season, you wouldn't know it by the numbers. The only Washington player to play in all 82 games, he is the only player over age 40 to ever score over 40 points (in New Orleans, 1/22/2003). Vaulting himself into the rarified heights of basketball's best, he clinches his position as the league's third all-time leading scorer (in Cleveland, 4/9/2003) and all-time point per game leader (30.12 ppg, at Miami, 4/11/2003)
