The Air Jordan 19 (XIX) Original (OG) - White / Chrome - Flint Grey -Black were released on March 13, 2004, and retailed for $165. They feature a white upper constructed from leather and patent leather, as well as grey accents, inlcuding the mesh, which makes these one of the nicest pair of the Air Jordan 19 (XIX). They feature a tech-flex upper with Velcro heel strap, plastic lace-locks, Jumpman on heel and midfoot. Other features include a full length zoom air bag, as well as a 3/4 length carbon fibre shank for added support. The outsole features a solid, modified version of the herringbone pattern, which provides great traction on the hardwood. Apparently due to the strap falling apart, these 19s were first recalled, and hence did not make production in scheduled numbers. Hence they became a limited release, and got canceled in Japan.
