That part numerical codename disguised this prototype sample before it was revised and became the actual release sneaker, which featured quite a few different features.<\/p>\n<p>This prototype is also slathered in red suede from ankle to toe, but a major change for the upper you&#8217;ll notice is the placement of the circular plastic grate near the collar. It also features red accents on the sole, instead of being completely black. The tongue here features a modified OG &#8220;Wings&#8221; logo instead of the Jumpman logo, and the underside of the sole uses a 4-pod cushioning system. One feature that would have been a great addition to the release version is the &#8220;PPG-28.2 RPG-6.5 APG-5.9 SPG-2.39 PTS-2313&#8221; text that wraps around the inside of the sole. Those numbers are, of course, Michael&#8217;s rookie year stats from 1984-1985.<\/p>\n<p>Click here for more pics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51238\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51249\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51247\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51247\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51247\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51240\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51245\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51245\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51245\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51244\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51244\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51234\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51234\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51232\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51235\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51235\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51246\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51246\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51239\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51231\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51242\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51242\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51236\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51236\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51248\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51248\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51248\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51243\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51243\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan XXI Prototype<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before there was an Air Jordan XXI, there was an Air Jordan Elev8.
