Designed by Wilson Smith III — not Tinker Hatfield — and debuted in 2001 as MJ's first Washington Wizards-era signature shoe, the AJ16 arrived at one of the most emotionally charged chapters in Jordan's career: a 38-year-old coming out of his second retirement to prove he could still play at the highest level, averaging over 22 points per game in his first Wizards season while wearing a shoe that nobody expected to become a collector piece. The \"Black Pack\" treatment does something no prior AJ16 retro has achieved — it removes every design element that historically divided opinion on the silhouette and replaces it with a unified, premium material story that forces the shoe's architecture to be evaluated entirely on its own structural terms.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe construction is the most material-contrasted in the entire series. A black patent leather upper covers the AJ16's primary panels with a high-gloss, lacquered surface that catches light with the kind of sharp reflectivity that patent leather alone delivers — deep, liquid, and unmistakably premium. Against it, black suede overlays land on the toe box, midfoot panels, and heel in a dense, matte finish that absorbs light rather than reflecting it — the contrast between the two black surfaces creating a material tension across the shoe's profile that reads with luxury depth rather than simple color contrast. The AJ16's most distinctive and most debated feature — the removable shroud — is executed in matching black patent leather, its zip-away construction converting the shoe between a covered high-top silhouette and an exposed low-top configuration in a single motion. Worn zipped, the shroud creates an unbroken blacked-out surface from ankle to toe. Worn open, the internal lacing system, padded collar, and shoe architecture beneath are fully revealed. Gator-embossed leather on the shroud's outer surface adds the animal texture dimension present across the Black Pack series, its raised scale pattern giving the patent surface a tactile character it would otherwise lack. Off Noir accents thread through the midsole and structural details, the one tonal break in an otherwise unified black build.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eCategory: \u003c\/b\u003eFootwear | Sneakers\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge Group: \u003c\/b\u003eAdult\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGender: \u003c\/b\u003eMen's\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Air Jordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jordan | Wilson Smith III\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003eAir Jordan 16 Retro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNickname: \u003c\/b\u003e\"Black Pack\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColorway: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack \/ Off Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e IZ2586-001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e Oct 3, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason: \u003c\/b\u003eSpring | Summer | Fall | Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShaft Height:\u003c\/b\u003e Mid Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClosure: \u003c\/b\u003eLace Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity: \u003c\/b\u003eBasketball | Gym \u0026amp; Training | Walking | Casual\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air Jordan","offers":[{"title":"7 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321477750,"sku":"IZ2638-001-7","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321510518,"sku":"IZ2638-001-75","price":440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321543286,"sku":"IZ2638-001-8","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321576054,"sku":"IZ2638-001-85","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321608822,"sku":"IZ2638-001-9","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321641590,"sku":"IZ2638-001-95","price":430.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321674358,"sku":"IZ2638-001-10","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321707126,"sku":"IZ2638-001-105","price":464.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321739894,"sku":"IZ2638-001-11","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321772662,"sku":"IZ2638-001-115","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321805430,"sku":"IZ2638-001-12","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321838198,"sku":"IZ2638-001-125","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321870966,"sku":"IZ2638-001-13","price":515.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321903734,"sku":"IZ2638-001-14","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321936502,"sku":"IZ2638-001-15","price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434321969270,"sku":"IZ2638-001-16","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"17 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434322002038,"sku":"IZ2638-001-17","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"18 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43434322034806,"sku":"IZ2638-001-18","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5459\/3142\/files\/PRE-ORDER-Mens-Air-Jordan-17-Retro-Low-Black-Pack-2026-Sneakers-in-Black-IZ2638-001-FOOT-NINJAS-1.png?v=1779341449","url":"https:\/\/footninjas.com\/products\/mens-air-jordan-17-retro-low-black-pack-2026","provider":"FOOT NINJAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
