Official Air Jordan XX3 Images
Jan 03, 2008 | Comments 23
With 2008 upon us, Jordan Brand's "Year of the XX3" has officially begun. A monumental year for the brand on several fronts, the "Year of the XX3" is the culmination of the most influential signature line in Sneaker History. The crown jewel of the "Year of the XX3" is of course, the Air Jordan XX3. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan XX3 represents a new direction for the Air Jordan Brand as it is the first ever Jordan sneaker designed within the Nike Considered guidelines. Filled with XX3 years of inspiration and meaning, the Air Jordan XX3 will serve as the official send-off for the Air Jordan.
The first colorway of the Air Jordan XX3 set to release is the White/Titanium-University Blue Air Jordan XX3 (pictured after the jump). The "Titanium Blue" Air Jordan XX3 is set to release at the Top 23 Jordan Brand accounts worldwide on 1/25 at a retail of $230.
The White/Black-Varsity Red Air Jordan XX3 (pictured above) will follow 02/16/2008 and the Black/Varsity Red-Stealth Air Jordan XX3 will release on 2/23, both at a retail of $185.

A VERY UNIQUE SHOE AS ALL AIR JORDANS BUT MY 1 QUESTION IS WHAT WAS THE DESIGN CONCEPT???
all three are nice
I really like it but i want to see the other side of the sneak
nice!
i like the black/varsity red-stealth the best, closely followed by the white/titanium-university blue and the white/black-varsity red.
one thing that make these three so special is that each one of them has a different design on the side look real close at each one and you can tell
VERY SERIOUS!!! THE WHITE&BLUE JOINTS ARE SOOOOO CRAZY....!! JORDAN TOOK HIS TIME WITH THE LAST PAIR. THANKS MJ!!
These are more than I expected. I love them....but... Its b.s. that the Titanium Blue are limited to the "Top 23 Worldwide." Who the hell knows where the the "Top 23 jordan Accounts Worldwide" are? I have e-mailed Nike and haven't heard a response. I normally don't hate the exclusivity of some some of the products, but with 20 days until they launch no one knows where they are.
I'MOST COOPP THOZ.....
The 23s are the best J's of the 2000s. (16-23)
Wow... um, if I wanted a D. Wade Converse shoe, I'd buy THAT particular shoe.
This is all it is, just with a Jordan logo.
No thanks, Tinker.
crack music
I live in Memphis, we will be getting them because we have the top Jordan brand store in the country!!!
KICKZyes is right they are very similar to the Wade's, only a lot more expensive. After 23 years you can only do so much with a concept. Nothing special here but every one's going to say "COOPP" or "COOPPING ONE OF EACH" bullcrap!
Best Looking ones are the General Release Black/ reds. But wish Tinker and J_O_ would of went for a "classic" look. The kind of look that made the J's famous. These shoes car out in December. They are called the Lebron V's. Black LB V's look too close to the Black J-XX3's. Cross stitching on the side and everything. Just missing some ugly gold buckle. Overall dissapointed. NO COP.
I feel u (solefulone) im from texas and i dont care how much they cost the blue/titanium sh** im ready 2 camp right now...
i love jordans really i do but dese luk bad i mean i wudnt wear dese, OMG y da 23 xx3 luk like this i was excited to get the xx3 but not nemore cuz it luks like this im mad
If anyones wondering the design concept of the XX3 I think that its based off and Native American Indian shoe because of the style of the stitching on the shoe
I think the look is unique. I like the differences that JB applied to each particular shoe. It raises the maturity level of the brand and adds some finesse. Being probably older than most that post on this forum, I believe it's a good way to close out having been a Jordan shoe fan since their conception.
i think they look kinda weak. this is the last pair i thought they were gonna be the cleanest of the whole collection. guess not... i surley will not be dropping $230 on these.

I got to admit I was a crazy AJ shoe fan back in the day. I got every shoe up to 13. My 3rd to the last AJ purchased were the White/Blue jean 13’s. Next were the Retro Grey IV’s. My last & final were the Camel color 13’s.
I’m sorry to say this, but after the 13’s the shoe just got butt ugly. The 14’s were a joke. Come on, if it wasn’t for the jumpman on the shoe, the shoe would look butt ugly -- something you would see at the end of a grocery aisles. Then came the 15’s. I didn’t think Nike and MJ could top off an uglier shoe! The 15’s sick in a disgusting way not the “sick” we are all use to hearing. Ugly, Ugly, Ugly! I think the prices and finally growing also played a role to how I preceive the shoes.
You guys can have the new joints, I’ll stick to the old school J’s -- anything before the 13’s.

jumpan23.com tells u the 23 stores the the titanium colored AJ will be at
jumpman23.com* my bad
i think the design is very mature, but not the right timing i think they got the story book 21 backwards with the new 23 concept i thought it was gonna be mind blowing from all the d.l hype i guess not.
