More from the retro that never was-the Air Jordan XVI. This time around the pair to pop up is of the low persuasion and sports a rather simple bulls combination of varsity red and white.

The Air Jordan XVI that never happened continues to be teased out via the various samples floating around on the internet.

Check out the Air Jordan XVI Low in better detail in our gallery after the jump and stay tuned to see if a retro for this model ever materializes at retail.

Is the ‘Cherrywood’ colorway of the Air Jordan XVI the best mockup of that sneaker? That’s not a terribly hard crown to claim, but for what it’s worth, we’d put it near the top.
