Air Jordan XX3 (23) The Real Deal

After seeing catalog images, pictures of the soles, and even really small snap shots, we have a detailed look at the Air Jordan XX3. I know some hate the Jordan 23 and some love them, but they are a unique pair.
Friday, some fake images circulated of the Air Jordan 23, but looked almost the same to a legitimate pair. With the new pictures, you can see on the Air Jordan XXIII the design on the side features M and what looks like a upside down J from Michael Jordan’s autograph. Pictures thanks to Heat23 and Air-Randy.

first!
very nice
although the ‘m’ stiching is too bunched
hmm Nice box

wheres air randy??
i cant wait for your comment hereeeee
UPSIDE DOWN J!?! COME ON, U run a sneaker info website & u dont even know what Jordans signature looks like?!? good god, i knew this site was gettin to worried about advertising but didnt expect ignorance like this… Maybe doing lil more research before writing would benefit… peace to true sneakerheads… upside down j, lol… gotta be kiddin…
hmm, so that’s them. ahh yeahh… dem ***** 3 of 10. i’ll cop jus because i want all da numbaz, datz it!!
Jar
I only said it resembles it, I did not state was a upside down J.
That is a J btw, and is how Michael Jordan signature (M and J).
nice
The shoe is FIRE to me..
Will cop 2
Save Us 222,
haha i know dat fool is going to be showin up any minute with some stupid azz things to say
Pretty cool. they don’t look as bad as I thought they would look like. Not sure about the mini-signitures on the side but the rest looks pretty detailed and original.
I think Brand Jordan knows that everybody is goig to buy these no matter what they look like cause they the last ones. I know I’m buying 2 pair or them (probably different colors) and I knew I was going to do that even after I saw the first pictures
they better than i thought
I already saw these a long time ago…..Katt Willaims, comedian…had these on his latest DVD “American Hustle”….
WTF DA UGLY DEAL…..YO AIR RANDY WER U AT?? LOL
Expected more or less but better.
http://www.solefresh.com
The M’s on the side are how he signs the M in his signature. But if you turn it sideways it’s the number 23. I don’t know about the Upside down J thing…
finally there here like a breath of fresh air!!! and i see many of u niggas hatin!!! but true fans of jb see this as the shoe to end your collection. It like since 84/85 jordan been making a statement with his shoe. So for the last ones to be him, his signature, his finger print that **** was genius, jordan brand did it agian!!!!!!!!
i havent commented in about 2 months…but these *****, man…i dunno. They aren’t as bad as the pics that leaked a couple months back, but they’re still booty-boy kicks. I’ll stick with classic retros
Ehhh, they’re alright. Maybe they’ll grow on me.
when i first saw these (yesetrday) my initial reaction was:
VOMIT!!! UNCONTROLLABLE VOMIT!! SPEWING EVERYWHERE!!
today my initial reaction is this:
NAUSEA. lol
i still dont like em but something on em attracts me to them i cant front..
I Dunno JO These **** are type wak feel me also a stupid *** price on it
MY PERSONAL OPINNION I THINK THEY’RE WACK! BUT YA 23 LOVERS ARE STILL GOING TO BUY THEM… SO DONT FRONT! I REALLY DONT CARE FOR THEM BUT I WILL COP MY SELF A PAIR AND YA CAN GET YA SELF A PR TOO @AGAINST ALL ODDS STORES NATION WIDE… PEACE!
Whatever
yea i like them, the shoe is symbolic. its like jordan is signing off on his legacy. the shoes look like some **** you would find on planet mars. there different, i mean its the 23’s, if you want a classic jordan feel go and buy some damn retroes. im gonna get these and jordan wont be gettin no more cake from me. i have an idea, if people are tired of the **** jb puts out why dont you stop buying it. does that make sense to anybody?
i got a cooment to nigger assassin, grow up dog! anyway them j’s r good but i dont like the m stitching on the side, an all blk and red pair will do good i think
bout time man. i’ll get em better than i thought they were going 2 b. not 2 thrilled about em but imma get me a pair no doubt. if u a real 23 fan you’ll get em and be proud that u did. stop faking
if MJ was still playin and came out wit these on. mutha f***as would b all over em. Pleaz believe
they are straight
theyre alrite…..
but how could they end it this way.
upsettinggg
Terrible. Just terrible. These look like they could appear in your local flea market. These are straight WACK!
YIKES!!!!! I guess now they really are a “signature shoe!” Those are TERRIBLE! But I’m going to cop them anyway… just because, LMAO!!!!
i heard NIGGER ASSASSIN was sucking osama bin laden
**** and flossing with the hair off his balls
kinda disappointing but they not as bad as I thought they would be. The melo M4’s are hotter than these.
why the hell are people still saying this is the end
You dumbass’s the 24’s will be out in 09, but these shoes are Very hott an I cant wait to see other colorways an PE’s An SE’s
i heard someone say that j’s dont look the same as they used to anymore cause jordan dont dont play no more.thats totally true the desighn inovation is the same but it dont seem the same cause you dont see him wearein them. i bet if he was still playin in these they would be the greatest thing jordan ever made.i was like hell naw they just fell off but then i say them highlights of him playin that pick up game with the bobcats and i was like damn them throwed and i remember before i couldnt stand the shoes then i thought to myself like damn it it jordan not the shoes….lol
These shoes are FUGLY. Nuff’ said.
J’s been fugly since #6
Jordan 3’s 4’s and 5’s are the bomb, all else are just straight FUGLY. Id rather cop some Huaraches.
wtf is everyone talkin about those shoes are *** ugly man seriously if u like them ur just on jordan’s nuts man the design of the shoe is horrible the only thing that’s good about that shoe is probably the technology
i was planning to cop these, when i heard they were going to be the last pair but after i seen these hell naw imma go get me some lebrons
They look like the T-Mac’s…..
honestly i think these are horrible and look like somehting marbury made, if not him they look like and 1’s and the signature on the side, is as *** as jordan hoodies with his face on it. Really im pissed the only thing that looks good is the sole.
sad day in JB history , the midsole and sole itself is nice , everyone likes that part but they took a wrong turn on the stiching part
UGLY *** SHOES!
Ha talking about staying fresh… nike shoes the makers of ugly *** jordans are not fresh. You people will be looked down upon if you wear “whites” to an event… girls won’t even look at you and if they do it’ll be like… haha he has nikes couldn’t afford real shoes.
i think the shape looks like a 13 with a crazy twist not a bad lookin shoe shoulda been better but everyone had such a hype on it i couldnt live up to the expectations i dont like that red toe in the front
I knew that it would all work out, i love em, cant wait 2 get a pair.
Whooooooooooooooo! Worst Shoe Ever!
These are piece of art. This MJ sign off shoe. MJ would’ve looked great wearing these. i dont like the tongue but overall great shoe. Cant wait to see a picture of the limited pairs. I will be getting a pair of the black and red colorway, thats automatic.
Jordan Brand can not be FN serious. Screw whatever technology they put into the shoe. Whomever desinged this **** shoud be tarred and featherd along with everyone else who co-signed. All this shoe is a high top version of the nike edge crosstrainer / running shoe ( Just find one and you’ll see). Nike and Jordan Brand need to really focus on giving us consumers some quality product. Half of the jordan retro releases are not true to size and run about a half size smaller and thats when you buy them from reatail stores i.e. eastbay, footlocker, etc. Weather you buy them and wear them or you just collect.
It’s your paper so you make your choice.
They’re ball kicks! People should not try to rock em for fashion. They iight!
I LOVE **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** CHINESE **** BLACK **** WHITE **** BROWN **** RED **** AND YOUR ****
FRESH ALL DAY EVERYDAY are u ***?
2
I wonder if all of them will have the “MJ” initials stitched on the side panel or just this colorway? Because I’ll be passing on these. Waiting until February for the Black/Red colorway.
OK…i expected better for #23
I was counting for something better. Need more air. Where’s the AiR JoRDaN?
Wow…you guys are really going sick. It seems the purpose of this comment section serves no more. Let’s try to keep focus on the kicks and leave your personal life out of this. Anyways…this is a very creative shoe. Though some may not agree, it takes its own definition. JB looked towards a different design and it’s not that bad. Now for me…definately collector’s item…no wear pair…let it sit and bring life to the closet. Overall..good look to the collection. 2008 get it right people…be safe.
I Like Da Shoe its not half bad but da thing dat messes it up 4 me is da signature M. That Should’nt be on the shoe. I know they want 2 do something thats hard 2 counterfit but also they have 2 please us the consumer. So JB needs 2 go back 2 the drawing board and tweak a few things because the sole, the toe, & the mid sole is real hott. But Those M’s all over the shoe have 2 go. http://www.DLX208.com had a good question i wonder if da signature M is only 4 this color way?…cant wait 2 see the black/red!…23 Jordans 2 go out like this is sad!
im actaully likin these the only bad thing i dont like is the tongue, it looks to simple and looks more like the dwade converse tongue
MAN DUDE THEY OKKAY. BUT THEY FEEL A LITTLE TOO TEAM JORDAN…WHAT HAPPENED MIKE?
tinker where are you
WELL THE CONCEPT IS NICE BUT TO ME THEY LOOK LIKE THE DUB ZERO’S THAT CAME OUT IN DECEMBER OF ‘05
Is it just me, or the tongue really flimbsy? honestly dem ***** will prolly be hot in a a different color scheme.
it looks like carpet inside and the tounge is kinda messed and thin….i cry… i don’t like
it doesn’t even look like you could play ball in them they look kinda heavy and uncomfortable….what an ending
Sick. Nasty. Better then the XX2s.
I like them
They resemble XIIIs waaay too much imo.
Nonetheless a they are very nice. The stitching I ould do without but does add a nice touch. IDK, maybe I’ll get a pair and maybe I won’t. I have to see em in person.
what a joke.. what a dissapointment.. what a bad way to end this legacy, very upset this shoe does not complete anything but ugliest shoe even worse the the low XI’s, this shoes Jordan Brand did not liver to its potential, its leaving on a bad note PERIOD.
who was on this project, obviously not tinker hatfield OBVIOUSLY!! LOOK AT THE FU*KING SHOE!
WHAT A TERRIBLE WAY TO END, WHATS GOIN ON JB.
I love the shoe a lot, but this is just a horribly put together colorway, the colors just look really bad
The MJ stitch should be white, the red on the toe should be grey or white, I can’t wait to see other colorways
well there ok imma cop a pair but i was kind of expecting something a lil since it being the 23
they look like an AND1 shoe, or even worse, a hi-end Starbury. booooo…
wtf they look like the Wades, im only gettin fo the box
They aiight, I have to see what other colorways look like. They should make the signature M’s the same color as the shoe, or the 3m reflective to add a little flavor when the light hits em’.
these ***** are dope!
wat fakes…. damn they already got fakes and the shoes just came out… I wanna see wat the fakes look like
real talk they look like a red/blk crayola crayon creation something like my four year old niece drew up, man i love michael jordan (no homo) got every shoe I-XX2 but these will not be in my closet.
ill wait for the next colourway
Actually, I think this colorway will end up looking drop dead gorgeous, I know they will look 100000000000% better in person
wow there wack as i thought, but the soles r hot but the shoe is ugly just like the 15,16,20,21,and 22
they iiiiggghhhhttttt…. and all u racist cracka’s must of 4got who’s shoe ur here 2 see (and what color is he?)
Man I am not happy with these. These ain’t part of the 23s. Come on we expect something more special.
Ay i’m wyte but i ain’t hatin. these is the *****!!! why ya’ll hatin on em? they da dam last jordans in da series. it’s an end of a legacy. my opion dese is tight. i love the way michael desgined these.
eh that one ok. even look cool.
cant wait for the 8!
those are some of the fugliest things I’ve ever seen, they look like a mix of converse and starbury’s shoes…
but the box is dope though…
HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!
JB needs to “Crank Dat Suicide”
lol
truthfully, i like em, only thing i would have liked to see is a wider, bigger tongue, and a wider shoe in general, they’ll be great basketball shoes, but aren’t that great of a sneaker to rock anywhere
Yeah I’m thinking maybe in a black colorway they would be more tolerable….for right now no
I agree w/above those fakes looked better. I was feelin what i had seen including the black and white pic and the pick of the sholes, they are hot as can be.
That stupid signature **** on the sidepannel and that shiney black **** that curles up onto the forefoot really kill this for me, that contrast is just too much.
I could love this shoe, just leave that sidepannel single color or diamond/check style and fix that terrible looking toebox area

im the 100 comment…. nice box thats the only thing i can say
it is really suck !!i am disappointed
not even Jordan himself would rock these.
what a shame to end it this way.
does jb think putting some carbon fiber, a shiny midsole, n nice box make a jordan shoe look like a JORDAN shoe now??? wat the hek, the 23s had to be crazy, n these r hot payless shoes…lol. ew
…Sloppishizzle aka TwinZ BeatZ
it should be better if the mj thingy majiggy wan’t there
They ugly to me they look too much like tha 21’s and 22’s make a new design got damn it
Is this the END of AJ?!!!
oh no….
I feel Sorry to Jordan…
Heard these were like the Basketball leather XXIIs and a real colorway will drop the same day.
i nkow im probaly going to b the only 13 year old kid in detroit wearing them j’s on my feet… lookin stupid but o well i still going to get them
I can’t believe noone has said these look like Iverson’s. Because they do. the design is as tacky and unispired as the iverson 8s, where they just slapped a whole bunch of 8s everywhere.
The overall build looks nice. But the stitching tile doesn’t work for me. The simplicity and patterns found on the 20s struck a nice balance. busy and quiet working well together. This one’s too busy for mine.
Wouldn’t mind seeing a straight color blocked design. Cool!
Mr Randy
Just in case you have forgotten, you are exploiting a Brand that only came into existence because of a “Nigger” and gets most of his support from other “Niggers”. In what century do you think you live in? Us “Niggers” have just as much money as you “Jews/ Spics/ Crackers”. The “Niggers” are the ones who waste their money by paying obscene amounts of money on shoes and clothes that took no more than 10 dollars to make. So to ATTEMPT to block “Niggers” out of you targeted demographic is just as ignorant as the TRUE meaning of a NEGRO! Get an edition of the dictionary published before the 80’s and try to learn pompous prick.
PS
These shoes are GREAT!
all yall is straight cornballs. yea yall hate them now, but i bet if yall see jim jones or fabolous wit these on everybody wood be sackin. all of you are drones get a mind of ya own.
I have mixed feelings about them it hurts but i wont cop i ant a hypebeast
YOU TELL EM AFRIKAN DIVA!! THATS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE, AN EDUCATED PROUD BLACK WOMAN!! ONE THING I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU ON IS THE SHOES LOOK GREAT LOL..
This has a great box, innovative design, limited edition pricing…what more could you want from the New D. Wade shoe???
…but really, they look ok. I’ll have to see them in person.
Straight Fire
^^ballin24_7^^ “i heard someone say that j’s dont look the same as they used to anymore cause jordan dont dont play no more.thats totally true the desighn inovation is the same but it dont seem the same cause you dont see him wearein them. i bet if he was still playin in these they would be the greatest thing jordan ever made.i was like hell naw they just fell off but then i say them highlights of him playin that pick up game with the bobcats and i was like damn them throwed and i remember before i couldnt stand the shoes then i thought to myself like damn it it jordan not the shoes….lol”
Too MuthaFukin true!!!!
^^fraze^^ “and the signature on the side, is as *** as jordan hoodies with his face on it. Really im pissed the only thing that looks good is the sole.”
This is even MORE true!!!! Those hoodies are for sure the most wackest $hit I EVER seen Jordan Brand put out. That and those ***-*** Hanes T-shirt commercials with Cuba, but I know that’s not JB affiliated–but still hella wack dammit!
I’m not feeling the MJ signature on the shoe…..looks like a walking ad for Mickey D’s instead. Big Mac, anyone?
Those side panels are so stupid. The rest of it looks pretty nice though.
what the hell is wrong with the tounge they should make it bigger or stronger so that it could hold up jeans and put sumthing unique mabe a fresh kindof lace lock
I think there spending way too much time on the design of the box then they are the shoe. As the numbers go up the shoes get more and more ugly. They need to start focusing on the kicks and come out with some hot **** or they’ll be releasing retors of the origanlly hot ones from back in the day for ever.
ahhh !!!…idk about these…j’s
ima have to pass on this one …lol
looking at theses j’s makes me vomit….!!!
jb needs to hire some real sneaker heads to
come up ideas for j’s….
who agrees???
Looks like And1’s
.01 out of 5 , Let me be terse, these shoes suck!
it look like DUBZERO lolz =] it cool but
i like just the BOX.
these are ***
they could of done more wit the tongue
these dont even look like jordans. these dont look like the type of shoe jb would make.idk man they are a let down
Is it just me or do these shoes look like Ronald Mcdonald exclusives, with the M for mcdonald, and even the colour way, i need to see how these shoes look with jeans
What a bad way to end your legacy !!! And whats up with all the M’s….looks like McDonald’s logos….I want to cry and trow up at the same time. GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD PLEASE !
word technutt,i be catchin those commercials wit cuba tryin his **** on thinkin 2 myself ” damn thats some *** ****” lol
dey iight
yo ur expectations are waaay too high just cuz theyre AJs… you guys want this think to come with GPS and suck your d**k too.
I personally like the sole alot for its originality. and in a different colorway these have a nice resemblance to the 13s. this is a VERY nice shoe. nice job JB
They look performance worthy, but way to simple of a design. They don’t stck out fully other than the fact that it’s an Air Jordan game shoe. The shoe does look to have some hidden benefits to it… It’s the final Roman numeral Jordan
Those suck, but with time it will grow on anyone, definitely will sell cause its the 23’s plus I ‘ll still buy it cause they Jordans haha lol…
So Who Wants To Suck My **** for the XX3
LRG X JORDAN WAY BETTER
BEN BALLA WAS HERE!!!!
iLL suck your big **** randy!!!!
i wanna see how everyone even those saying how ugly and how their not gonna cop end up coping once the hype grows on these.personally imma cop not the greatest but not the worst.
***.sneakers.and.videotape.>=]
hahahah just read ben ballers comment.lol.hope all goes well with that.lol
Actually…the M on the shoes, if you tilt your head to the left sideways it also says “23″
..DAMN!!…JUST…DAMN!!
thems pretty good lookin hope to see more more of da jordan numberd……….. til i die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love these shoes…………….these are way better than dunks
I agree with Marquise Boatman………these are way better than dunks
thizzz shoe iz ugly as fuuucccckkkkkkk
look your airness (not talking about joran neither you know who you are) you got them be happy sleep with the muthafucca’s they’re ugly and if people don’t like them then they don’t i’m a bigg fan of the jordan brand but the brand is falling off there’s nothing tight about the shoe all of my lil jordan deciplies don’t like the shoe the only way the brand is still sale’s because of melo and the mexicans buying the team jordans… yo don’t PMS over it the xx3’s UGLY
when it thought of the xxiii i was excited as hell and dey turned out to be so fugly these arnt that appealing for
$230
Everybody has their own opinion. And bitchin’ about the colorway or this or that wont make them change anything. Remember when retros first came out? Nobody bought them. Now look. The 23s look like **** to me but they will-in the long run- turn out to be valuable. So, buy them or don’t. JB will still make them and still sell them.
these shoes suck…for the 23’s i’d expect a lot more…these are just…blah. Jordans have really gone downhill after the 16s
well when i first saw the black and white leased photo i thought they was weak but now that can get a better picture they starting to look okay but i still dont belive these shoes deserve to be the XX3s
The shoe is very unique, I like it and to all who think the J is upside down, you don’t know Mike signature maybe you need to do some more research and look at the pattern a little closer.
It’s funny how nobody remembers that Air Jordans are BASKETBALL shoes. NOT walking or casual shoes. Basketball shoes are NOT designed to be the best looking shoes. They’re designed to be light, flexible and have to support the ankle. They’re not as appealing as say the NIKE dunks or AF1’s but they are AIR Jordans. Which means they only make one design a year, making each Air Jordan valuable. I know people who have spent thousands on NIKE dunks, saying “these are collectibles” when dunks are not as valuable as Air Jordans. I’m not talking about retros or any other jordan shoes, JUST AIR Jordans. I agree that AIR jordans have not been appealing for a LONG time now including the 23’s but it’s about having it as a “collectible” and not looking fly in them right?
lruxdo qdbsv pausqkv ywei dkavpzhsb getwp gdaech
shoes are a flop ill get them cuz i have the rest of the jordan line
the stitching is too much. the writing at the toe of the is a nice touch.
