That’s dope that those toys even made them but why do they have bare feet switch outs

I really don't remember there was a version of these with the little 23 on the sides that Jordan wore after all these years.

That's the ONLY version he ever wore in games, other than when he first broke them out in the '90 All-Star game. His '90 Playoffs pairs all had the 23.

So the public technically never had a original release of these

I think the 23 looks better on the black tongues personally but if these dropped w/ Nike Air I'd probably cop

Not in 1990. I believe the 2007 retro was the first black metallic release with the 23, but it was the wrong font and that release had the Jumpman on the heel rather than Nike Air. So no, a copy of what MJ wore in 1990 has never released.
What are a must? There's no scheduled release of these again that anyone knows of. I guess you just mean whenever they return, which could still be years away.

I'm in for a 23 with Nike Air and the correct font.
I also demand the 3M pop like that photo without the glossy 3M we've been getting

Metallics are way better without the 23 imo. It ruins the clean look. I think it works on the black tongue pair because the shoe is already so busy.

Don’t want my black metallics with the 23.
Way cleaner and versatile without.

We could def use a retro with the 23 while we wait for the next regular black metallic retro.. Would be nice if they could bring back that oily durabuck material..

I like the 23, the 2006 pair was a good retro, quality wise everything was good imo just no na
Right if 5’s didn’t crack I would buy a pair now lol.
Just scored these for a deal compared to market

It's most likely the 2000 version that Ichiro Suzuki is wearing here. It's also surprising he's wearing Jordans because he doesn't strike me as a person who would be into popular or flashy shoes. He looks like the type to wear something nondescript with his street clothes because his playing style wasn't flashy but pretty fundamental, which was still great.
