You heard it here first guys, or at least you heard it from someone else that heard it before you. Either way the Air Jordan XX3 could be the last Air Jordan shoe to be released. Info...
Which one was your favorite.
BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) -- It's gotta be the shoes, right?
No other basketball shoe has changed the face of business, athletics and marketing like the Air Jordan. This month, Nike releases the 23rd edition, and it is expected to be just as venerated as its predecessors.
The sleek design and link to Michael Jordan's jersey number make it a touchstone in the line. It's also Nike's first basketball shoe designed under its "Considered" ethos, which aims to reduce waste and use environmentally friendly materials wherever possible.
The Air Jordan XX3 will be released in three hyped-up rounds from January to February, starting with a limited edition to be sent to only 23 retailers to be sold for $230 and concluding with the national launch at $185.
There had been talk at Nike about retiring the shoe at No. 23, because of his iconic jersey number. But company officials won't say whether this will be the last of the line. Neither will Jordan.
"You'll just have to wait and see," Jordan said in an e-mail to The Associated Press, responding to questions about the upcoming release.
Before launching the first shoe in 1985, Nike had just signed Jordan for $2.5 million over five years. Nike won't say what Jordan's current contract with the company is worth.

This dude has pictures of all Air Jordan from 1 through 20. Pretty impressive. -
there is absolutely NO CHANCE that the 23s will be the last jordans as this would all but end the jordan line which encompasses 50+ new shoes each yr and hundreds upon hundreds of new items of apparel/accesories.
The line continues to make $ and that's all that's really important. Jordan Brand will go on.

In all reality who cares, some people around the world can't still afford to by them and they last as long as two games of b-ball, and for you fashion heads until someone steps on them. I'm not hating on the shoes
cause I own 1-5. I still like the Rodman's they made and the first Kobe's Addidas made and oh yes Timberland boots.... -
There is no way that this will be the last air jordans made. that is such a popular shoe. i know a bunch of people in my school that wear them.. and are still bying them!! they must have some sort of sceme ste up!!

I like sneakers, but couldn't get into the J's so much.
-
As long as people are willing to spend $180+ on a sneaker that was made for about $10.... do I have to continue?
