These take the cake as the ugliest pair of jordans ever. Uglier than the 21 or 18 or any other sneaker. Who designed this shoe if you know holla at me so we can send him hate mail.
^ ill send u hate mail. Theyre not that bad, much better than XXI,XV,XVIII,XVII,XIV,II
im glad thats not the final product.
the previous posts black/red colorway has much better, refined lines and features. namely dropping the excess vents/louvers on the collar.
they just keep getting uglier & uglier after the 17
The Jordan Brand is losing their touch. The XXI are nice but look like Team jordans along with these. I think XXIII should be his last and should have a combo of all jordans from I-XIV.
I partially agree with ya, bo cy, yeah the XXII does llok like a decent shoe, and I bet its going tobe lovely to ball in. But better looking than the XVII and the II? Are you out of you mind? The seventeens were hot and the twos are classic, that was a little too disrespectful.
i just may be the only one who likes his sample 22s better then the final... but i swear its the same stuff every year 1 million people say how ugly the new jordans are but after they release its all buckets and tears so ill be coppin on release(by the way im no hypebeast)
whoaaa!!!!hell yeah!!! that's what i'm talking about!! futuristic shoes. In that case, i'm gonna cop all the colorway of the xx2's.
These are nice. Anybody Know what the I3 thing in the tongue is? I don't know why everybody is talking about ugly jordans, if you want a plain shoe buy uptowns.
Where they designed after a F-14? Very jet-like.
86Kickz y wud u want the XXIII's to be like the Spiz'ikes but worse?
wot the f ? thay look like ski boots or for playing ball the moon to! be honest i gave up after te 7s glad there dopping some nice retro's keep it old school
EWWWWWWWWW.....YUCK!!!
Those are ski boots right?
i aint feeling those here ugly next to the VIII in my opinion
wtf is that sheit? looks like some astronaut shoes.
like my man said a few box above mine after the 17's it was a rap and like my other dude up there saying thank god there throwback some retro's personaly if it wasn’t for retro Jordans shoe it would have died a long time ago.
Other then that this shoes here it’s a BREAT BASKETBALL playing shoe design for speed and comfort. LOL just not for wearing to the party our out on the street cuz I rather put on orthopedic shoes then tho'z
Too sophisticated they look like they were made for a Star Trek Fiend
Yo 86Kicks why would u want a new instalment in da jordan series dats just a mix of ohter shoes that have already bein released? i dont wanna walk around with another pair of jay's dat look like spizike!!! I want sumthing new and original so the XXIII's set dem selfs apart from any other jordan shoe released.... And i agree with Jumpman King's opinion.
STOP HATIN', Y'ALL GONNA COP THEM ANYWAY! RETAIL OR OUTLET PRICE!!! I THOUGHT THEY DID A GOOD JOB!!
these sux so bad god they suk
Yo let me drop some knowledge aight. Sayin AJ's are ugly is the same as sayin Ali's shorts dont match his gloves, it dont matter they both gon knock you out when they hit.
i belive they did a good job FOR BASKETBALL SHOE on the look and style stupid there shoe are going to me collect dust on the stands of finisline and footlocker and the others
they look comfortable.. but damn they are one ugly pair of sneakers.. and for somone who collects J's... i gotta say im disapointed.. they should make something that looks classic and apeals to sneakerheads
