This shoe is the 2008 retro of the Air Jordan 16 in the original "Bred" (Black and Red) colorway. It was released as part of the Countdown Pack, paired with the Air Jordan 7 'Hare'. The design is distinguished by its unique, removable black leather gaiter (or shroud) that covers the laces, giving the shoe a sleek, dress-shoe-like appearance. The upper is constructed with a combination of smooth Black leather and Black patent leather on the toe. Varsity Red accents are subtly placed on the branding, the visible Zoom Air unit, and the translucent outsole, following the classic Jordan 'Bred' color theme. The removable shroud allows the shoe to transform its look, a feature that marked the model's design transition from pure performance to lifestyle.
