Released February 2003 Head Designer: Tate Kuerbis
Creator of the design of the Air Jordan 18 was Tate Kuerbis (Jordan Senior Footwear Designer). A person that had been part of the Jordan footwear design team since 1999 and with Nike since 1995.
With the Air Jordan 17’s having had a briefcase and a CD-rom the big question was how the Air Jordan 18’s could possibly match this. “What is next?” was the big question for all the sneakerfreaks out there.
Well the Air Jordan 18’s was no disappointment. With a new Jordan box with a nice cut out 18 with foil behind it and a new pull-out opening the box itself was just SUPER! Ok, it wasn’t a briefcase, but c’mon I’d rather pay $175 than $200 for Jordans.
