Air Jordan XX3: All Star Weekend Wrap Up

Although Michael Jordan has been out of the NBA since the end of the 2003 season, his impact on Basketball will stay forever. One way is to have everyone on Team Jordan wear the Air Jordan XX3 during the 2008 All Star Weekend in New Orleans.

Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Joe Johnson, Chris Paul, and RIP Hamilton wore the Air Jordan XX3 at one point or another. Melo and Paul had on a West Coast themed Jordan XX3, Hamilton and Johnson had a East Coast Jordan XX3.

But Ray Allen suited up with the Limited Air Jordan XX3 White/Titanium-University Blue, which was a interesting site. After the first quarter, Anthony and Paul traded in the Air Jordan XX3 for their own signature shoes. Enjoy the pictures.

  6. 1st, the Ray Allens are NOT Titaniums….the blue is wayyy too dark to be them. They are just another version of PE XX3s since the Titaniums were more like UNC colors. Look at the pics!

    2nd, The Melos/CP XX3 PEs r str8 ridiculous! I want me some of those crack babies.

    3rd, More than anything I want them RIP PE XX3s. I love the white/blue/little bit of red color way. I wud rok the fu@# out of them in the summer.

    4th, No one wore the "true" All Star XX3s?????

    5th, All in all, the XX3s r one of the dopest numbered Jordan! No doubt in my top 5, possibly top 4 or even 3.

    ^^"sad little kids …"^^

    I aint no kid….not even close. I'm saying the XX3 is in my top 5 for design, innovation, meaning, and style. It has a little bit of the old school w/new school flavor mixed in. Yes, Top 5 and I have a lot of Jays….Including OGs from 10+ years ago from when I bought them personally in the stores so I aint no "newbie" in this Jordan game.

    Question for you? If Ray Allen, Mike Bibby, Richard Hamilton, Quentin Richardson, or any other Team Jordan member said the same thing…..would you say "sad little kids"? Probably not. It might even do the opposite for you and get you to think outside the box rather than dissing someone else's opinion(s) based SOLELY on relative release dates.

  11. Thats a beautiful shoe. i remember when you guys first put the picture of them up, we was all like WTF? lol But now that we get to see the final product and different color patterns, I don’t think any Jordan head is disappointed

    Reply

  13. YO STOP THE HATIN. THE 23 IZ THE BEST PERFORMANCE SHOE EVER. NO GLUE BUT THE ENTIRE SHOE IS STITCHED TOGETHER. THIS SHOE IS AN INNOVATION FOR SHOES 2 COME. HANDS DOWN I MIGHT HAVE 2 AGREE WIT MY BOY TECHNUTT TOP 5 EASY.

    Reply

  14. I am almost positve those Ray Ray joints ARE the titaniums. He was a last min selection, so they were unable to get him east all-star PE in his size. 2 guys on both the east and west wore the same shoes. Ray would have worn the same ones as Rip/JJ. They may look a bit off, but they look like titaniums to me. Remeber we have not seen pictures of these on court. Either he had some pairs and wore one, or they sent him these because they did not make all stars in sz 14.

  16. the jordan 23's are amazing and better than i thought…the allstar colorway is by far the most crack…and these are my second favorite jays beind the first two spizikes…them chris paul's is sick too…but the 23's allstar colorway is the scond tightest j's of all time…i cant take em off,i might sleep in them..lol

  17. HEY TECH NUT YUR THE KIND OF JORDAN HEAD EVRYBODY HATES….THE TITIANIUM ISNT THIS…..THE SHOE STRINGS R TO SHORT……MICHEALS THUMB PRINT ISNT HIS THUMB PRINT, ITS SCOTTIE PIPPENS…….OH YEAH GO TO NIKETALK AND YOU'LL SEE K.G,RAY ALLEN AND CHRIS PAUL HOLDING THE PREMIERE LIKE ….DAMNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!..GUARUNTEE THATS THE PREMIERE RAY RAY HAS ON

  18. the 23s MELO was wearing are FRESH. The grey with the red so nice..Are those going to be released

    Reply

  22. i must say the ray allen 23s are the best looking ones and like a few others said those are not titaniums they're too dark i actually like the PE's better though i'll pass on the allstars but definitely will buy when the black and red colorway comes out

    Reply

  24. TH0SE ARE THE TiTANiUMS BUT ANYWAY, i SEE TERRELL OWENS WiTH THE ACTUAL ALL-STAR XX3s 0N. WEARiNG THE XX3s MADE EVEY0NE ELSE's SH0ES L00K LiKE CRAP

    Reply

  26. All the XX3's people were wearing were sick as hell. I have to say I liked Melo and CP's versions the most. Melo and CP's all star signature shoes were sweet as well. Too bad all the colorways people were wearing will probably never hit the shelves.

    Reply

  27. And TechNutt those were the titaniums. I dunno if you were lucky enough to get a pair and just wanna believe there is the lowest number of them possible so yours are worth more or what, but them were the titaniums.

    And why the hell didn't Allen lace up his titaniums and battle Kapono for the three point competition? By him not being in it they pretty much gave Kapono the trophy. Come on RAY!

    Reply

  29. ray allen said it in an interview that he was wearing the titaniums .. which in the pictures you can see its lighter then the royal blue on the jerseys… had to go digging to dig that up .. so yea he had the premiers on and he scored like he was MJ for a day .. lol … damn man the Players get the real exclusive shit !!! those east and west editions are crazy …. i got the allstar editions that dropped on 2/16 and im happy as hell i did.. the stealths black/red will be an easy cop.. its a general release meaning there will me almost 9,000 + of them on shelves .. and they will be restocked also.. im waiting for the all white/red

    Reply

  31. all I know is those guys r lucky. If I was a hooper I would hoop in mine. these 23's feel amazing. unlije any other shoe I have ever owned. can't wait for the stealths. they had the allstars in sac in size 14

    Reply

  33. LOL @ PIC #3….Is it possible to stand like that, Look at his legs

    And for some reason, It looked like Ray Allen had on Titaniums on TV, But these pictures are showing somethin else

    The pics look like ROYAL blue

    ^^"HEY TECH NUT YUR THE KIND OF JORDAN HEAD EVRYBODY HATES….THE TITIANIUM ISNT THIS"^^

    So now ur hatin'.

    Hey, I just know royal blue from UNC light blue, which differentiates one XX3 PE from the Titaniums. Yes, they are similar except for the blue which doesn't make them what people originally thought, even tho initially I thought they were Titaniums. Regardless, they are still fresh kicks.

    And yes, I have seen that pic of Chris Paul holding the XX3 with KG having an astonished look at his face…..it's one of my favorites so far in regards to the XX3. But I will also say those shoes also have the blue as dark as the cap on the water bottle that CP was holding. (page 73 of NikeTalk's official XX3 post in the Jordan Brand section)

    But honestly it dont matter anyway. Ray balled his ass off in the All Star game, should've been MVP, should've been in the 3 pt comp like ppl say, and is one of the best players in the NBA……no matter what shoes he is wearing. Im not going to argue back and forth over technicality of Ray's shoes…..

    Let the ppl decide but I'd have to say, so far the turnout is like im Obama and you're Hilary Clinton ….. AND thats NikeTalk included.

    Reply

  38. word @ whoever said they look different in these pictures then they did on tv…..

    these photos are edited and recolored and all kinda shit..

    they looked like titaniums to me……and the west shoes looked alot like the stealths with a few small differences. the ones joe johnson and rip were wearing are the only ones i have never seen anything similar to.

  39. RAy Ray stole the show, and outdid everyone on the sneaker tip. The MVP trophy was rightfully his

  40. hahahaha thats funny cuz i saw technutts nice kicks profile n he aint got shit if u do have them then post them up or ur gona b exposed as a phony

    Reply

  42. they look exactly like titaniums 2 me the stich patterns the same 2 n jus think about it y would they make a shoe that looks jus like the titaniums thats jus pointless

    Reply

  43. they are titaniums. all colors look brighter in these pictures. if you watched the game you would know. the lebrons were alot darker lookin aswell.

    Reply

  44. if you guys noticed after melo got substituted in the first quarter and came back at the end of the first he wasn't wearing the xx3's are they really uncomfortable for a power forward or jusr a good fit for guards like paul and ray allen

    Reply

  46. tech nutt yur dumb saying it doesnt really matter anyways what shoe ray wore….because 1st you said they were not the titaniums..u called them P.E.S….Then u were proved wrong……oh yeah go 2 niketalk dumbshit and you'll see ray-ray wore titaniums…ding-ding schools in beeeotch

    Reply

  49. so good to see jordans on display like that. just saw chris pauls js close up at the beginning of all star game.. so sick

  50. i dont think comfort was the reason for switching shoes cuz chiris paul switched his shoe too to cp3 they were probably wearing them to show them off or somthin or cuz it was mjs b-day

  51. Its a trip how many people are sayin they love tha 23 now. And how they're in their top 5 and all. Hahaha. So many people was doggin these sneakers when they first was shown.

  52. yea i jus got the all star edition and they are nice i can't wait till the ones carmelo got on come out.

    Reply

  53. Damn, ppl just want to argue over trivial shit. Answers:

    No, I dont hav a profile cuz I aint got time, but didn't think I was supposed to. I do have OG Jays but they r beat up and not worth much no more. Stupid me, but still nice to have but not nice enough to put up pics of them.

    No, I don't have the Titaniums….never said I did, but I have seen plenty of pics to know what's what.

    Lastly, do the "TITANIUM PREMIERS" have ……. RED…..I REPEAT ….

    RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED,RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED,

    ^^"Its a trip how many people are sayin they love tha 23 now. And how they’re in their top 5 and all. Hahaha. So many people was doggin these sneakers when they first was shown."^^

    AGREED! Im at fault too with the "All-Stars". I admit shit when Im wrong. I said the same things, but when this shoe was in my hands, it changed everything! Ask ppl who have them.

    However, from the jump when I saw the "argyle pattern" of the XX3, I loved it. And now even more so. I have never dissed the Stealth XX3 that comes out on Sat and now I think it's one of the dopest shoe JB has come out with. Tinker did the design and that Kat knows what he is doing.

    I will tell everyone now DONT SLEEP ON THE XX3 BLACK STEALTH that comes out on Sat. You will regret it, if so. I already got mine and would be happy to answer any questions about them. I'm 100% serious!

  55. Two things I love are Jordans and intelligent arguments, so that's cool if you want to call me names to display your maturity level…. BUT it still doesn't make you anymore right about facts.

    Check these site references:

    "The Allen's are PE's, as i previously noted…

    I just CONFIRMATION from another source, concerning these just now….He was the one in charge of distributing the pairs to the JB athletes.

    So to those thinking they are the Titanium's, you are wrong…

    I knew my initial source was correct, but i had to make sure for the ones that thought otherwise.

    Hope this clears up all the confusion"

  58. ^^^^ MY APOLOGIES for the multiple posts ^^^^

    it makes me look like an ass which I dont intend to do. Stupid site didnt take my comment, so I kept editing it trying to make it work thinking it was the actual web site references blocking it………seems the posts were just delayed. Oh well.

    Since I know there are Jordan heads on here b/c of the sheer # of comments versus other brand shoes' comments…..

    Get the Black Stealths! The pics dont do ANY justice to them at all. I just got mine today and like them more than the All-Stars. Again, if you have questions I'll answer them. I'm not here to hate.

  81. i cant front i didnt like the 23's at first glance but i tried cuz i hate the way they advertise sneakers laced to the top all choked up but i tried on the black joints the way i lace my snaekers and they are definitly on fire. these are the only new jordans i like. its unfair the nba players get all the exclusive joints joe johnson and rip hamilton got on the most exclusie ones though in the actual all star colors if those would have released i would have gotten them and a lebron jersey but the black are the best looking to me the 23's kind of remind me of the 13's a lil bit but way better they should re-release the olympic 6's those were hot

    Reply

  82. i wish i worked in the department where they decide what to release and which color way sales would go through the roof i know exactly what the people like i predict the revamped 15's will do pretty well. they should have released the all star version on all star weekend.am i the only one who remebers the all black 9's with the white bottom. im glad to see they are changing the colorway on the count down packages i dont think it would make sense to re-release all the retro's in the same colors although some original colorways are just classic like the grey red and white 7's the space jam 11's was a good move and so would be the olympic 6's all im saying is if i collect all the packages i dont want to wear a bunch of diffrent sneakers in pretty much the same colors

    Reply

  83. The one's that Joe Johnson are wearing are the best ones of the 3, but i wouldn't complain if i had any of them, they are all sweet. I got a question. Does anyone know where i can get some jordan sandals like the ones by Rip Hamilton in the top picture, those are sweet also. I want a pair right now BAD!
