Tinker Hatfield, the designer of Air Jordan III to XV, returned for the design of the Air Jordan XX. The most noticable feature is the laser etched design on the lace cover depiciting various past Air Jordan shoes and Michael Jordan's achievements through his careers.
The XX's was to commemorate 20 years of Michael Jordan's greatness and legend. Each symbol represented a story in Jordan's life. For example, the toolbox with the words POPS represented Michael's late father, James Jordan, who was a real handyman who could fix anything around the house. The symbol of a 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo car and MJ sitting in the back seat represented MJ's mom, Deloris, bringing him along to her office when Michael was grounded from middle school for a week. The Bus Driver cap with golf clubs crossed, represented punishment for anyone losing a bet playing golf. The loser had to wear the bus driver cap on the walk back to the clubhouse.

44DT symbol represented Hall of famer David "Skywalker" Thompson, a superstar college and NBA player that Michael idolised in the mid-70's. David Thompson's North Carolina State college jersey number was 44.
The Air Jordan XX is also inspired by motorcyle tyres and Jordan Brand Racing team called Team 23 Racing.
