Air Jordan XX3 Wear Test Sample
Posted by Nick Engvall | Nov 25, 2008 With all the attention on this weekends Air Jordan XX3 releases, and PE Colorways, we thought we’d take a look at the early stages of the shoes design. This Air Jordan XX3 was one of several “Wear Test” samples that went through extensive testing on the court in JB’s process of perfecting the shoe.
The blank color is nothing spectacular, but like a Ferrari wrapped in flat black plastic driving on a hidden track, the performance of the product is more important than its visual appearance. Take a closer look after the break thanks to ShoeKid45. |

^^ he has relisted these on ebay like 20 times, did he finally actually sell them
Nov 25, 2008 at 5:51 pm
This dude had these up for sale a little while back, and they sold for a decent amount. I can’t remember off hand what the exact pr was, but maybe the bidder backed out? Or maybe he has more than one pair. Either way, I’m down for another shot at these.

One hell of a collector’s item, I imagine.

Shoulda tested em with the patent leather toe box and realized what a bad idea it was!

Sole Magazine devoted an issue to the development of the XX3. It featured photos of pre-production samples like this and design drawings among many other things. That magazine is one of my most prized possessions.

These are the first XX3s i’ve seen that actually look ‘worn’…interesting to see how a shoe is put together though.
