The New Air Jordan -- No, Really, It's Green

Posted Jan 9th 2008 10:36AM by TMZ Staff

The latest Air Jordan sneaker has been unleashed, and despite what you might think you're seeing here, we're telling you -- it's a green shoe.
Michael Jordan's new Green shoe
Nike tells us that the Air Jordan XX3 is the first-ever basketball shoe in the Jordan Brand to be made with sustainable materials -- meaning it'll be around the next time MJ decides to unretire, whenever that is. It's coming out in a limited edition costing $230 which will only be available in 23 stores (sensing a theme here?) and then will be out wide -- for $185.

4. ugliest shoe ever. the dope dealers should love it. of course the good kid that is in school cant afford it. green, what a joke. these companies love all these al gore sheep. they can call it green double the price and sell twice as many. i love big suvs. they keep me safe when some dumb tree hugger runs a redlight in his/her prius. also these curly looking light bulbs...filled with mercury. prius batteries..because of the battery it is way worse than the hummer for the environment. what a freakin hoax, at least the corporations will profit because of it. this stupid hoax makes me pay more for gas in Malibu and that sux

10. Hey, #1, thanks for the life, that was a good one!

MJ is a hottie and I'd do him in a second. As far as corp greed, I disagree. MJ deserves every cent he gets.

14. Ridiculous to pay $230 for baseketball shoes ( or any shoes)...and the people who will be buying them probably can't even pay their mortgage or their car payment...but BY GOD they will have their Jordans. CRAZY!!!!!!

15. Only a spat loving.. 'goober type' would probably love it. The Air Jordan XX3 continues the successful tradition by providing fans with a beautiful performance product that is lightweight, low to the ground, breathable, and maximizes comfort. A newly engineered, patent-pending, stitching machine delivers intricate detailing in the upper portion of the shoe. The low midsole profile allows players to be as close to the ground as possible and feel the court. Unique design cues such as the imprint of Michael Jordan’s fingerprint serving as the traction pattern on the outsole and his thumbprint on the back of the tongue lining bring to life the man that makes the franchise so special.

This Air Jordan XX3 was created with the environment in mind. Though it’s not completely “green,” they have done everything possible to create less waste and use no toxic materials.
