[@SA-op4xu]

I really like the fact Demar and Joe know the importance of the 16, 17s and the whole experience with having the suitcase. If someone from Jordan Brand is reading this its time to release the 16 and 17s, I'm tired of seeing just 1s to 4s. I understand its your cash cow, but people, especially causal hoopers like myself still desire the shoes Jordan wore in his tenure with the wizards.
