On February 16, 2007, Michael Jordan, designer D'Wayne Edwards and a long list of celebrity personalities came together at Las Vegas' MGM Grand for the Jordan Brand Experience XX2 Launch Event. The evening's guest list also included brand officials Howard White and Gentry Humphrey, as well as Team Jordan athletes like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Andruw Jones and Dwight Freeney.

Celebrating Day 22 of the XX8 Days of Flight, take a stroll down memory lane with us and check out some visuals from the launch event. What do you think about some of the fashion statements made just six years ago?
