Jordan Brand will be releasing the last three colorways of the Air Jordan XX3 all on the same day this Friday, Novemeber 28th, as part of the the XX3 Legacy Series. (What was once thought to be the ‘Motorsports’ edition is actually inspired by the Washington Wizards.) Each shoe will be sold individually, and they’ll be released on a limited account basis nationwide. Taking inspiration from three segments of Michael’s playing career, each colorway is inspired by the uniform color of each team Jordan played for. The Black/Varsity Royal/White colorway represents his brief time playing for the Washington Wizards from 2001-2003. Of course, the Chicago Bulls played quite a role in MJ’s career, so a Bulls-inspired colorway will be releasing also in Black/Varsity Red/White. There will also be a colorway that ties back to his college days at the University of North Carolina, featuring a gleaming Carolina blue TPU midfoot chasis in Black/University Blue/White. All three colorways feature white mesh along the collar, a white patent leather toe and tongue and black leather along the dominant mid panel, set off by double contrast stitching.
The Legacy Series is available at select Jordan retail accounts this Friday, November 28th, and will also be available online tomorrow, November 27th at 8:59PM PST/11:59PM EST on Jordan Brand’s Flight Club.
Air Jordan XX3 Legacy Series:
318376-011 Black/Varsity Royal-White $185
318376-061 Black/Varsity Red-White $185
318376-041 Black/University Blue-White $185

wow, my size gone instantly! where do all these buyers come from so fast? good grief.
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Saw them Wednesday on the 26th of November in person. A sales associate at a Finishline in Charleston, SC gave me a preview of them and let me hold them and everything. I asked to manager could he hold all 3 colorways for me and he said sure.
Definitely a blessing ’cause when I got back home to North Carolina they were all sold out and some stores didn’t get any at all. Thank God for small miracles.
