Jordan CDP XVIII (18)

The creator of the design of the 18s was Tate Kuerbis. Kuerbis has been part of the Jordan footwear design team since 1999 and also with Nike since 1995. The inspiration of the design for the 18s is a combination of many things. They feature sleek racing lines of the auto world, carbon fiber-based monocoque of F1 race cars, race car driving shoes (rubber heel wrap) and fine Italian dress shoes (bold stitching on the soles).
The CDP (Countdown Package) 18s are not a very rare or pricey shoe. They feature an all suede upper with a patent-like midsole. Although they came in the Coundown Package with the Jordan 5s (releasing on August 23, 2008), it's very common to find these on sale by themselves. They market for around $80-100. All though they are not really considered to be heat, I still have these because I thought the design was interesting and can sort of use them as beaters (even though I still keep good care of them).
