Air Jordan XX3 Review
Air Jordan fans… check out this video. From Sir Jordan himself and the designers of the new Air Jordan XXIII released on the 25th. They discuss some of the inspiration behind the 23 - Gaudi, argile pattern, intricate design, performance and get this… “Green” . Mark Smith and Tinker Hatfield tail Jordan through Milan, Berlin and other European shopping meccas looking for ideas. They designed the shape of this shoe differently - Hatfield likens it to a track spike.

Green? That’s right - the Jordan sneakers are a green product. These kicks boast construction of earth friendly materials and puzzle like interlocking parts that help reduce the amount of glue used. They also inspired a new 360 degree sewing machine. You may have noticed Nike’s considered line of shoes - and believe it or not the Air Jordan XX3 is one of them.
For the sole collectors, Jordan Brand is releasing the titanium version in only 23 stores. The Titanuims will cost extra… I’ll call it a “collector edition” fee: $230 which reflects the rareness of this air. Feb. 16, the white, black, and red kickz will arrive in selected stores for $185. The Black-and-Red colorway arrives everywhere on Feb. 23 for the same price. I guess you could call this great marketing. This release will definitely increase the value and anticipation.
Performance
Here at kicksnet we care more about the actual performance of the shoe… so I was glad to see that performance was still the primary focus for the Jordan Brand team. There is no doubt that his airness will have tested these thoroughly - but I can’t help and compare these to a new model car. Sometimes its better to wait for the first year (read green) to work the kinks out. How do yours ride?
