Air Jordan XX3 Premier Sneakers

To complete the 23rd anniversary of Nike's Air Jordan, Nike finished up the year with the Air Jordan XX3 Premier which launched on December 23. The anniversary of course coincides with NBA great Michael Jordan's jersey number and the shoe comes in red and black, the colors Jordan wore as a Chicago Bull. Each of the 23 retailers had just 23 pairs to sell and so people waited outside in cold, rain and snow to spend $230 for a pair. And they may be a smart investment. Right now a pair is on eBay with a buy-it-now price of $2,500.

The Air Jordan shoe line has been making history since it was first released back in 1985, and the newest member of the family -- Air Jordan XX3 -- is no exception. The 23rd edition is not only special because of its connection to Jordan's iconic jersey number, but it's also the first design released under the "Considered" ethos -- meaning it's more environmentally friendly. The Air Jordan will now be made with more sustainable materials and will create less waste through the manufacturing the process.

The Air Jordan XX3 will start hitting select stores this month, with a national launch following in the spring. The shoes will be priced at $185.
