Japanese retailer Mita Sneakers has created memorable collaborations over the past few years and presents a new project with Lakai. However, there are a few familiar characteristics found on the Telford which is the base of this venture. Some of these details include an ostrich toe and patent leather heel. In addition, the white/black/blue and white/black/green color schemes have also been recycled and appeared on past Nike sneakers by this boutique. Both are now available exclusively at Mita.

Some might wonder why people are salivating over the Air Jordan XX3 (23) “Finale’s“. Could it be the Black and Red colorway? Or how about the last numbered Air Jordan to release? Or better yet, the last colorway of the last Air Jordan to release? Whatever your reason is for liking the Air Jordan XX3 Finale, you are joined with many others how camped out for days all over the United States.

Sneaker Files was on scene at one of the 23 locations that received the very limited Air Jordan XX3, Shiekh Shoes San Francisco at 929 Market Street. As we stopped by the line on December 22nd (night before the release), around 23 people sat on the cold and wet sidewalk, wrapped up from head to toe, only exposing their eyes.

This had all changed 10 minutes before the doors open. Anticipation and adrenaline had set fire from the cold and sleepless nights. We now present to you the recap from Shiekh Shoes, with pictures of the line and what everyone was waiting for…Possibly the end to a great era.
