Jordan XX3 Retro?

[Mister Meaner]

Had the Cherry 23s. Can’t find them. I probably sold them a while back

I remember sliding all over the court in these.

Spoiler

These are sz 9 and I’m now a 10.5 so they just been sitting around.

No insoles and I get my foot in but not for more than a few minutes for some pics lol.

What would you change about these, Year of the Rabbit, or Titans?

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

I’m in. What does CN stand for?

 

[jetbl1223]

Definitely wouldn't mind another white based XX3. Lines here ruin this one though.

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

What were production numbers like on these in 2008?

CN: Chinese New Year I imagine

They usually do CNY. Are you in? What’s your favorite XXIII?

 

[souljaman22]

Picked these up a couple months ago. Love the 23 and been hunting these since 08. Im all for more retros. Need that CN pair

This pair from 08? At this point are they wearable for casual let alone hooping?

Let’s put it like this: the white/red XXIII (sorry, refuse to call every white/red color combo f’n Cherry’s) was the last new number flagship model I bought.

Fav was titanium’s, ironic considering follow up post after your’s. Never had those, and curious what they are going for now.

I’ve considered getting last year’s CNY, actually like those and resell isn’t bad price. As far as CN…who knows Y they named it that

 

[Magic33]

I never thought they were a good basketball sneaker

Yep. Titaniums. Definitely didn't buy for balling but they're wearable. 23s haven't started to fall apart from what I've seen. Just a little separation on a couple pairs but thats and easy fix.

 

[JRepp23]

I guess I dont understand why they release weak colorways when the Titaniums and Finales would be awesome retros to bring back. I know the resell value for these are through the roof but were not preserving for the collector anymore, right?

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

Last time I checked prices came down on them. To Magic33 point they really aren’t a good basketball sneaker. Poor lockdown, average traction, the upper never breaks in, heel to toe transition could be much better. Overall kind of stiff like the 2009. They did have good bounce and cushion and durability though.

Part of me hopes they don't retro these, but I'd love another pair to wear.

 

[jetbl1223]

The XX3 is easily a top 5 hooping shoe for me.

 

[greatabyss43]

I really didnt mind the XX3 to hoop in either and I was in my early 30s at the time. Top 5 Jordan model for me. Love the Black/Stealth and White/Reds, still have both.
