So a winery will often distinguish between varieties of wines by their "bins."
A wax seal is sometimes used to identify the bin a bottle came from, and also for simply for authentication purposes.
That little red splatter on the "BIN 23" Jordans simulates a wax seal.
So basically, by creating a conservative, earth-toned colorway and placing a "seal" on a retro, JB are trying to convey some level of sophistication - Something that CLEARLY has gone over the heads of the intended consumer (the OP, for instance).
If you ask me, someone looking for sophisticated footwear isn't going to buy an over-priced, low-quality retro... Cole Haan, Gucci, LV, etc. are going to get those dollars.
