Air Jordan XX3 “Real Pics” – The Wait is Over!!
On November 1st we posted the first image leak of the Air Jordan XX3 (23). The image gave us an idea of what to expect, but it was hard to pass judgement since it wasn’t an actual pic of the shoe. It took a while for actual pics to leak, and Jordan Brand did an excellent job at keeping them on the low. As always Air-Randy got them 1st and he has sent pics out and the rest is history. The wait is finally over and Jordan heads now get to see actual close up shots of the Air Jordan XX3.
On the flip side pics of the fakes hit the net before the real pics did. Rest assured knowing that these pics are the real deal. Tons of pics available for your viewing pleasure after the jump.

Finally!
Well of course these pics look better than the 1st pic…lol
I don’t know what I was expecting, but whatever I was expecting didn’t look like this. It might just be me, but these remind me of the ATL Vick 3′s (minus the strap). I might be trippin, but that’s what comes to mind. The details are nice and you can tell JB really sat down and thought this one out.
I was talking to a friend about this whole XX3/23 thing and I asked him if he thought it would have been a good idea to make the Spiz’ike the XX3, as in people never knowing about the Spiz’ike until now! He said no, but the reason I said it was the fact that the Spiz’ike pays homeage to some of the most sought after Jordans of all time. Plus MJ & Spike Lee and you can’t think about Air Jordan history without thinking about them. It’s like “Mother Jordan”…lol
I’m just asking and it was just a thought. Anyhow I’ll prob still get a pair (once they go on sale) and add them to the family.
I’ll stop here
Do they have them in any other color?
G it thought about the exact same thing. about the Spiz’ike being the 23. but JB wanted the shoe to be original so that was out of the picture.
but this 23 shoe. man to me its a no go. the look T-Mac 3.5. but that might just be me. i can kinda see the Vick’s in em. but mostly the 3.5′s. all in all u can tell they sat down and thought about it. but i feel like they thought too much about it. might cop since its the last Jordan number they will put, but dont really want to. lol
i agree, they’re not half bad. too bad there’s already fakes
those shoes are an insult to my eyes.
i vote NO HELL!
i didn’t like the cell phone pic and i dont like the real pics. its not the worst thing ive seen but its not the best. you mean to tell me this is how its going to end? details are nice but the shoe is not doing it for me.
^^What up Adam!
I didn’t know you still stop by TSG. You know once some people get “BIG TIME” they forget where they came from…lol
Tell everybody I said what up and tell Amir I said it’s been a whole year since we did that interview…smh
It’s time to do another one now…
it seems like jb is more focused on making there shoes hard 2 bootleg rather than just give the people what they want. and i dont know about yall but i dont wont these shits
this is what happens…
when your the president of two companies…
(bobcats & jordan)…
your work tends to slack..
im not sayin these aint hot..
but it doesnt have that “MJ” magic..
lol why?
These are DOPE!!!!! I love these already. Looks like Tinker hit us w/that ‘Individual Poduler Suspension’ system again…so the comfort’s gotta be there. Plus they look mad fresh…futuristic even. I think alota heads are gonna hate because they don’t have that classic AJ look/feel, that makes them clean to wear with jeans and shit. But it’s all good. Afterall, they are B-Ball shoes “technically”. This is a DEF COPP!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Tinker, and thank you Nike for all your hard work…and for all the memories.
i’m sorry, but this ain’t good enough…they need to slap
everyone at JB that gave the go to these…these things are
ugly point black period…& they’ll never grow on me ever…they look like welfare shoes…
I have mixed emotions on these, dont really like them, but then some all black ones might be pretty fresh……..
KickStand Out!!!!!!!!!!!!
DID JORDAN SEE THIS ??????????????
man jb really f up with these. Damn them things are mad ugly.
JB please dont drop these shoes. This is not the way to end a legacy. What are yall thinking???????
I like them and I will cop 2 pairs!!!
All black with grey stitching, and keep the grey sole.
Then i’ll cop. But honestly these dont look too bad now.
Man these are fugly and G-ROC these look more like the Dewanye Wade 2′s than those vicks to me. Either way they are hidious and I’am truely getting fed up with jordan brand. With all the retros they are realsing in packs next year and all these ugly 23′s.They need to keep it simple and realease less merchandise and quit flooding the market with all this garbage like this and release nice kicks like the 6′s 9′s 12′s and some others and stop making all these packs and make a few quailty pairs in a nice og colorway or nice new color way for the true consumers out there not this new breed of sneaker comsumers! Sorry for the rant but, I’ve been getting more upset with every crappy release and when I saw these monstorsity’s,that was the straw that broke the camels back!
iono, cant really get into them
Lets be real people-these SHOES ARE UGLY ASS HELL!! Ima Still gonna cop cause they are the last of the jordan series. What da hell is goin on at jordan brand. FOr all of this they should have let the spiz’ikes be the last pair(those are fire)! WHAT DA HELL! These shoes better not be more than 100 dollars!
Can we talk about why Air Randy always has this sh*t months ahead of time and isn’t getting shut down?!? I think Nike’s behind it, making 1000% profit by releasing stuff on air-randy 6 months early…what y’all think?
I’m gon grab them.These are better then the 22 in me eyes.
Trust the detailing cant even begin to be told through pics! Check em out when they drop! They are super fire in person! Thanks again JB! I am not disappointed!
their not bad, and when the shoes are aying on its sides they look dope. They look really cleanly done. i don’t like the over head shots at all, and they got the dub zero’s tongue which hasn’t always been my favorite. EVERYBODY KNOWS AIR RANDYS HOOK UPS ARE RIDICULOUS BUT HIS PICTURE TAKING IS FAR FROM SUPERB, (can’t really call em good eitheir) Once matt get a hold of them or super G-Roc they’ll get the pictures right and the shoes will dif look better.
these are real hoopin shoes not like going out shoes
Yo, was talking to air randy last nite & tryin to get an answer on what the “fin” lookingthing on the back is… but he didnt understand what i meant by “fin”… lost in translation, i guess… but g-roc if uve seen em in person do u know what the “fin” is? does it serve a purpose or is it just aesthetic? cant wait for ur pics groc & do u know if the “MJ” stiching will be on the top23 editions? good look. peace yall
I don’t like how they remind me of shoes that’s already released in the past. I do like the detailing though. The bottoms is crazy and I’m digging the box.
i really don’t know what to say. i’m sure they will grow on me but i guess i was looking for a classic mj finish like some said above.
Man no comment…..smh.

these is hit the bestpart is the friggin box the box is hot
this is a disappointment
does anyone else see the t-mac- 6 in these…. im very disappointed, i really wanted a combo of the first 22 jordans, or something tht could be worn on and off the court. this is simplyt a basketball shoe…big disappointment
Who designed this cause It couldn’t be Tinker.
On the gossip tip…my homeboy in Seoul S. Korea said that word on the street out there (nikemania.com) is that there’s a ‘limited edition’ blue colorway dropping too…and that the BRED colorway is confirmed as well. He said they got pics of all these, but I can’t get on! Can anyone read Hangul/Korean!??? Get us those pics…!!
I DON’T LIKE THIZ J’S…. THEY LOOK LIKE D-WADES… CHEAP SHIT!!!
hahahahahah to all you die hard jordan fans.
man looks like im a little late on commenting haha..ia m def. not liking the 23′s..i dont see any huge appeal in them, and how could they not think of anything better for the LAST pair of numbered jordans, honestly?…and imo i think its kinda funny how ppl say they suck but are gonna buy them anyway b/c they’re the last pair..i mean if u dont like’em dont cop’em lol..i think jb coulda came out with something a lot fresher than these and the whole bball shoe game is slipping these past few years..i mean whatever happened to the hyperflights and flight posite series? man i loved the styles and wear of those shoes…all in all, dissapointed.
I’m cool on these. I really haven’t felt the last few pairs of Jordans that came out. Last pair I even remotely felt were the 18′s. They need to go back to the drawing board on these cause these aren’t hot at all
Dats my word dey ugly
I’ve seen the black colorway… these are really nice. a lot of old heads won’t like but i think they did a good job. they stuck with what JB does best…”Stay Ahead of the Game”. These won’t get the props they deserve until its to late. So my advice is cop quickly cause there gonna tripple in value. a plus is that the bootleggers will have a hard time replicating these…
whats these?…tha new team jordans or sumthin?…lolol….wow…im sayin brah…is it me or did all the fcukin jordans go ta hell after tha 19s?…i jus hope they dont ever try and retro n e of these pieces of siht!
I’m late commenting as usual…
I have to honestly say that these are just stupid ugly. I mean, they are unique, ain’t no denying that, but unique doesn’t always mean fire. I really wanted this shoe to be great. I mean, they’re ending the biggest legacy in the shoe culture, and all they could come up with was THIS??? I may be expecting too much out of JB, but who’s to say they aren’t expecting too much out of us consumers? They want me to pay $185+ for that??? Get outta here, and step your game up…with them T-Mac lookin ass shoes. SMH x Infinity…
I would’ve probably been happier if the XX’s were the XXIII’s…
Oh, and SMH to all the people who said these were ugly in the beginning and are now jumping on the bandwagon…I wish I would pay two bills for some garbage like that…
WE ALL KNOW A DESIGN CAN ALWAYS BE BETTER. WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAST OF THE AIR JORDANS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. THE XX3 REMINDS ME OF OTHER SHOES THAT HAVE RELEASED. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE THEM USE A AIR BUBBLE AND NIKE SWOOSH. EHHH, WHATEVER. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THEM IN PERSON.
I feel like along time ago people started copping just because of the jordan brand logo…and these shoes will just prove my point.
at first i guess i was just agreein wit everybody else but now that i take the time to actually look at the shoe i kind of like it. i mean i know cats like the old scool jordan flavor but thats exactly what it is OLD scool. its time we move on and except that fact. its gonna be 2008 and the reality is like everythnig else in the world shit changes. i like the shoe, would i cop 2 pairs no, but the shoe is hot. we cant expect shoes from 1998 to be the same as 2008 can we?
lol wow i try reading everyones comment but they all sounded the same!
sidestitchin Fd itup!
sure this shit its gonna sell out tho! lets just wait to see what stupid colors they drop with em.
Well Im not really a Jordan head except the first 1 through maybe 5 or 6, I guess thats why I like the Spikze because they represent all the Jordans that ive liked, with that being said I think this is a hot BB Sneaker not so much jeans and a t sneaker, much like the XXII’s. I think that with the right color way (ala the White or Black and Red XI) these could be iight…So B-Ball thumbs up just straight rocking them on the block, not in that colorway…
The black colorway has to look better than this.
You can’t end it like this. The J’s look okay, but this is suppose to be the last pair right? So why not hit us with something that would blow our socks off and not something that we’ll consider to be “okay”. I was really hoping I would like the 23s but I don’t. To answer your question G-Roc I would rather have had Spizikes over the 23. Oh well!
