Let’s be honest – it was only a matter of time before one of the twenty-seven Air Jordans of the supposed one-of-one Air Jordan “Black/Neon” Collection would go up for sale. After all, these are one of the rarest Air Jordans ever put out by the brand and certainly the first wide giveaways focusing on the social media phenomenon known as Instagram. First up for grabs is the Air Jordan X of the set from IGer kvaipa, although we hope his sky-high asking price is just to keep the listing up for display! We’ve got a detailed look below so give the photos a look and see the listing from tnitty31 on eBay.

For the model following up the all important 23rd sneaker in the legacy lineup, the folks at Jordan Brand saw it fit to end the numbering system right there and switch to a yearly designation (A decision that has been overturned with this year’s Air Jordan XX8). Thus was born the Air Jordan 2009, a sleek model that integrated Articulated Propulsion technology for the sake of lateral responsiveness. Let us know what you think of this take on the sneaker for the Air Jordan ‘Black/Neon Green’ collection and stay tuned to Sneaker News for the upcoming culmination of the #XX8DaysofFlight lineup.

The Air Jordan XX3 was a triumph of the modern era of player shoes from Jordan Brand. There was obviously a huge burden placed on the model thanks to the importance of the number 23, a burden that it managed to carry just fine thanks to the slick design that was oozing with details. The Air Jordan XX3 is brought back here for the about-to-conclude #XX8DaysofFlight series, in which each sneaker is paid homage to via the ‘Black/Neon Green’ Air Jordan collection. Continue reading for an alternate image of the shoe and reminisce with us in the comments below on the massive event that was the Air Jordan XX3.

The final week of the #XX8DaysofFlight buildup is upon us, and the collection has now caught up to some of the more recent models in the post-Michael lineup. Today’s sneaker featured is the Air Jordan XX2, an angular design that ended up in a difficult spot preceding the all important 23rd silhouette from the legacy series. Check out how the Air Jordan XX2 looks with the combo of smooth black leather and a healthy dose of neon green for the lining and outsole, and let us know in the comments if this take on the pair has made you look at them at bit differently than on the first go-round.

Michael’s refined taste in vehicular transports shines through once again with the Air Jordan XX1, as the primary inspiration comes from the Bentley Continental GT Coupe. Aside from the visual breakthroughs that included the grille detailing, diamond-quilted lining, and fine leather and suede uppers, the Air Jordan XX1 debuts a tune-able cushioning system that allows one to switch between two different cushion options via a flippable pod at the heel. The Italian Red Suede would be the highlight of the Air Jordan XX1 chapter, but does the Black/Green version of #XX8DaysofFlight take the crown? More of the Jordan Brand #XX8DaysofFlight is just below.
