The Air Jordan 22 model, designed by Dwayne Edwards, was released on March 24, 2007. Its original retail price was $175 but has declined. The aggressive and sharp design was inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Some technical features of the shoe include an updated visible, interchangeable independent pod system, a new metallic mesh for ventilation, the Air Jordan Shoes camouflage pattern printed in reflective 3M, and an updated traction system, based on an army general's stripes.There were two special editions of the Air Jordan XXII model released. The first edition was released for Jordan's birthday on February 17. This edition featured an authentic Jordan Brand basketball leather. The second edition was the Omega model, part of the Alpha-Omega package. This model featured a laser-etched image of Jordan after he won his sixth NBA championship in 1998.
