News of the Air Jordan VI/XVII Collezione Package was music to the ears as it gave Jordan-heads the opportunity to own a pair of the Air Jordan VI Carmine (a suede version of the Jordan XVII didn’t hurt either). We’d like to announce that the Carmine VI and the suede XVII is coming back together, but not in a way you might’ve expected. Here’s a Sneaker News Exclusive look at the Air Jordan 6-17-23 in Black, Carmine, and White; it features both pairs from the VI/XVII Collezione Package cross-hybridized into one shoe, with each Jordan model expressing co-dominance on the design of the shoe. Carmine red can be seen on the upper panels with black suede laid above as well as on the toe, with a white panel on the heel.
The silhouette of the shoe certainly takes after the Air Jordan VI parent but the XVII can bee seen on the midsole, which features the same midfoot plate, as well as on the upper vents and Jazz-inspired graphic on the tongue, which also features the corduroy-like ribbed fabric. A look at the bottom sole and you’ll see hints from both the Air Jordan VI given by the dotted translucent outsole and the Air Jordan XVII based on the golf-course inspired traction. Jordan Brand’s newest hybrid endeavor involves combining two Legacy models with number designations summing up to 23, and at this point the 6-17-23 looks to be the first of such releases – with the Carmine colorway arriving in February 2011. Continue reading for a gallery of images of the Air Jordan 6-17-23 and let us know what you think of the design. Many thanks to fatboykickz.

September 20th, 2010 at 9:03 pm

September 20th, 2010 at 9:03 pm

NO… they didn't…I'm so f ing dead right now…
September 20th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
These are not even a blip on the radar.
September 20th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
maybe if they didn't use the 23's they would be straight….maybe
September 20th, 2010 at 9:15 pm

R.I.P. Carmines
September 20th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
HAHA holy shit jordan cant do anything right. Jordan brand will fuse anything nice in its own right and make it the biggest piece of crap ever. It doesnt even look like they tried with these. The 16.5's were pretty nice but these….
September 20th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Am I the only one who doesn't mind these?
September 20th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
omg – JB done really toyed with my emotions on this one…this one hurts like no other hybrid mix breed has ever
September 20th, 2010 at 9:32 pm

September 20th, 2010 at 9:37 pm

September 20th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
A fucking Mutant shoe!! I dont know how JB can say YES to a shoe like this. I need some Panadol!!
September 20th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
I was hype for a minute thought i was gonna get the carmines, but oh well these will still be copped anyway they aren't half bad.
September 20th, 2010 at 9:47 pm

September 20th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
with all the heat coming out in the months to come no one is gonna cop these or any team jordans. Even the non-sneakerheads.
September 20th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Bride of Frankenstein
September 20th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
I see the reason why. I see the correlation. I can even see these being worn to ball in. But as a whole these are for the sales racks.
September 20th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
smmmmffffhhhh
September 20th, 2010 at 10:27 pm

September 20th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
gimme an uglier shoe p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!z
September 20th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
this shoe is a hot mess…. hahaha
September 20th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
For what it's supposed to be – a hybrid between the VI and XVII, it's really not that bad. The white heel kills it. If it was nubuck like the toe, then maybe its workable.
September 20th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
these are supa hot the the color scheme is off the chain……..copped
September 20th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
even the dude that design this shoe has to be in shock that jordan brand even accepted this idea and whats more of a shock is that u know people will still buy these….. at full retail no less…….crazy….
September 20th, 2010 at 11:56 pm

September 20th, 2010 at 11:56 pm

I DONT EVEN LIKE THE RETROS THEY PUT OUT BECAUSE THE QUALITY HAS GONE DOWN. JB IF ANY1 IN YOUR CAMP READS THIS (STEP UP YOUR MUTH*UCKIN GAME)
