The
Air Jordan XX3 (Jordan 23) is said to
be the last model of the Air Jordan series
by many individuals high in Jordan Brand
including the head of footwear marketing,
Gentry Humphrey. While there was alot
of celebration for the 20th year anniversary
of Air Jordans, there is much anticipation
for the 23.
Performance wise, the Jordan XX3 is said
to be above and beyond that of any other
Air Jordan. For the third straight year,
the Jordan 23 uses IPS (Independent Podular
Suspension) Cushioning. For support, a
carbon fiber plate extends along the bottom
the of sole that modeled of Michael Jordan’s
thumb print.
Cosmetically, the shoe is as unique as
any other Jordan model relative to the
rest of the field. Starting at the toe,
the toe cap has Michael Jordan’s
signature embossed. The side of the shoe
features a stitched pattern that gives
the shoes strength in addition to cosmetic
effect. The tongue of the left and right
are different for a first time with a
Jumpman on the right shoe and “23"
on the left. Lastly what starts at the
front of the shoe and extends the full
length is a glittery glossy panel that
covers the midsole body of the sneaker.
