The number 23 is always associated with basketball legend Michael Jordon. And we know how 2008 marked the 23rd year of the production of the famous Air Jordon line by Nike, and so the Air Jordon XX3 (23) was born. Buzz is that the shoe brand has created an even more special foot wear called Air Jordon XX3 Premier to end the year perfectly.

Touted to be the most complex footwear of its time, the Air Jordon XX3 uses a durable painting process that employs the services of a robot to maximise quality. The outsole is made from green materials that reduce toxins and uses the Nike grind material. To achieve the stunning exterior, a newly engineered technique has been used to stitch the upper 3-D form. Jordon fans will be happy to know that the shoe is high in comfort levels too. A dual density sock liner gives ultimate comfort while the recovery foam sround the hee’ conforms to foot shapes to create a more custom fit.

Air Jordon comes in red and black, the colors that Jordon wore as a member of Chicago Bulls. So far, the 23 retailers have only 23 pairs to sell. Folks are queing to grab a pair at $230. However, we hear the pair is up for sale on eBay for $2,500.
