I dont think Nike chooses any of the shoe nicknames. But they confirmed a rivalry pack earlier this year. Piston and lakers mids were a part of this pack as well as the Clover OGs and a confirmed ATL OGs

These are a retro of an extremely limited china release from 2007. Jordan 1 XQ. Google it. They have nothing to do with the Atlanta Hawks unless I severely overlooked this info..
Nike is releasing a bunch of china related shoes in china. This is a part of that collection.

They look even better with the OG treatment. Will be disappointed if these are another extremely limited release.

Those were all the rage back in 07. They do look very nice with NA. I guess we get the shaft. (Again)

Hopefully that means they will release a few Shanghai SB retroes here as well.
Anyway I would only cop if the money is extra right.

Yeah I understand that. In one of the 1 High threads, Bubrub and LAOKRATWR and few others including myself were discussing about why these colors and the significance. One of them mentioned it could be because of the "rivalry" with Nique since they already had Knicks and Celtic 1st out. Turns out, it was the XQ back from 2007 but there is still "Atlanta Hawk" in the title of thread. That's why I'm asking, just for confirmation why it's still there.
lol. I know. I said that with my first post here on this thread.
But the title of thread says "Atlanta Hawk". I'm just going to assume that nickname (though misleading for new people who dont know) is just for us who were in the earlier threads that talked about it and now finally realize what they are.
Getting really misunderstood on NT today and not sure if anyone is understanding what I'm getting at.
Apologies NT fam, I'm done. I'll just shut it about this topic and move on.

Nope. These got that limited tag. Nike learned from the Knicks and Clover releases.
anyway what does XQ mean?

OP added that, but these have nothing to do with them. Strictly a retro of the Jordan I XQ's from '07 in a higher silhouette and with Nike Air branding.
