The guys over at Shoe York have released images of a very rare Air Jordan XX3 Wear Test Sample. The Air Jordan XX3 is the last Air Jordan in the numbered series, and therefore is very monumental. The process of making that sneaker took some time, and we have images of an early version. Many features are almost identical to the retail version, such as the midsole and the heel flap. Which version of the XX3 do you prefer?
