The Air Jordan 23 (XX3 or XXIII) - Stealth (Black / Metallic Silver - Varsity Red) were released on February 23, 2008, and retailed for $185. The nickname Stealth refers to the official colorway, but also to the all black color scheme, which is usually associated with stealth, or hiding. The Air Jordan 23 (XX3)’s hand-stitched upper, full-length quilted bootie, carbon-fiber shank plate and articulated chassis provide the ultimate in fit, comfort, support and control. They feature Zoom Air and tuned Independent Podular Suspension (IPS) pillars housed in the lowest profile midsole ever. And all this rides on Michael Jordan’s fingerprint outsole which ultimately redefines the game. The Air Jordan 23 (XX3 or XXIII) is indeed the most anticipated release in the history of the Air Jordan legacy and the history of athletic footwear. Being worthy of the number 23 (XX3 or XXIII), they exceed all expectations as a masterpiece of beauty, performance and sustainability.
