Air Jordan Flight 23
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Mar 17, 2008
With the retro Air Jordans only available in Countdown Packs and the Jordan XX3 being harder to score than Jordans in the past, the Jordan Brand team and lifestyle shoes are carrying a major load to represent the brand.
Jordan Brand has called upon retro models to lend design inspiration to their team and lifestyle kicks for years, but the latest round of Jordan Flight 23 take color and material inspiration from iconic Jordans. Finishline has scored two exclusives with Jordan Brand of the Flight 23 borrowing looks from the Jordan 8 White/Black-Red and the Jordan 11 Cool Greys.
We couldn’t pass on the opportunity to take some side-by-side shots of the shoes along with their retro Jordan brother. Both are exclusive to Finishline and are available online at Finishline.com.
* UPDATE: We have received word that these are available also other retailers.

Not going to front like I am some dude who only wears retros and AF1s. I have the White/Grey Jordan 8 style ones. I love those kicks. They look really good with jeans too.

Nikko,
Finishline themselves bragged that they are exclusive to them, that is why we reported it that way. If you log on to their site they state that below each item.
I have since heard otherwise and will provide an update to this article.

it kinda gets annoying hearing people say “i only wear originals and retros” or “i dont like the new shoes”. like the new stuff isnt good or something. if your like 30 years old i completely understand since the originals are about your age. if not then you only like the old school because every one else likes em and you might as well go after old ladies instead of young fresh girls too.
