Air Jordan 18 XVIII Womens The Air Jordan 18 was released in 2003 and was the shoe for Jordan’s last season (part 3). Jordan played for the Washington Wizards, but his knees didn’t hold up for all of the games. Jordan returned towards the end of the season and ended his career on April 16, 2003 in a loss against the 76ers. Though many would love to see Jordan back yet again, its pretty safe to say that Jordan has retired…for good.
