It’s always a treat when we find Air Jordan numbered samples. This time, we were lucky enough to spot an Air Jordan III (3) 2006 Wear Test Sample in a white/red colorway. These 3′s use a white leather upper but with no elephant print panels. The midsole is in red and white to match the outsole and inner lining. The shoe uses strong premium leather for the inner lining, making this a shoe that would have been worth the money. The Air Jordan symbol is stitched in white on the red tongue and printed in red on the white back heel panel. These are on eBay now for a four-digit price tag.

It’s always a treat when Nike conjures up a sample of the Nike Zoom LeBron signature line. This time, we get to see the Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) in an all black wear test sample. The shoe uses an all black leather upper with black patent leather on the swoosh and toe area. The black is contrasted by red graffiti inner lining. The major characteristic though, is the fact that the shoe has no logos whatsoever on the shoe. Nothing signifies that this is in fact a ZL6, but of course we know that from recognition. Despite this fact, if you’re into this sample, then hope that it gets released.

These size 9 Air Jordan XII (12) Low Wear Test Samples feature a white leather (real leather mind you, before Jordan Brand went cheap with the wack stuff on reissues) upper and a red outsole. The shoe has “TWO 3″ stitched into the tongue underneath the laces and a gold lacelock to secure the strings and create some flash. This Air Jordan XII (12) Low is a Wear Test sample, and will probably never see the light of day on shelves. Which is a shame, really.

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?

The Air Jordan XX3 (23) pictured above is the earliest version of the newly released Air Jordan. The wear test sample was created back in 2006, while the actual Air Jordan XX3 debuted just this year. As you can see it somewhat resembles the final version of the Air Jordan XX3 (23), but only displays the overall concept of the XX3. As for the color-way, it is not the first color-way seen, but it does consists of a later released combination of white, red, and black. As stated by the seller, these are very rare and only 1 pair exists. Now available on the ‘Bay!
