The Titanium Blue Air Jordan XX3's are coming out today in *very* limited numbers (we're talking 23 pairs at the top 23 Jordan Brand Accounts) for a cool $230. It's the first version of the new XX3, which will have many more colorways coming out all year. I really like how they look, but for $230 just 6 days after Jordan 10/13 Countdown Pack (retail $310) hit the stores???
But then it dawned on me... 23 pairs each at the top 23 Jordan Brand Accounts equals limited release. Or more importantly it means people camping out in January for a shot a these kicks. Here's a pic from kixandthecity.com at Niketown in Chicago yesterday:
Ummmm, I think I'll pass...
It's too bad, because they really like how they look, but I hate camping and I hate waiting in line even more! Anyway, I'm sure we'll see them go for serious $$ on ebay along with a ton of fakes so stay posted. But until then, here's a few more pics from solecollector.com:
Michael "Air Jordan" and his iconic signature basketball shoes were a major part of the basketball and hip-hop culture fusion (The "Dunkadelic-Era" In America, 1984-Present) that was born in 1984. His legacy to the sneaker and apparel industry has created a world-wide phenomenon.
