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.

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.

Okay, he’s serious this time. Michael Jordan retired for good and passed on the Air Jordan torch at XIX to some other notable NBA stars like Gary Payton, a former Nike Basketball signature athlete. The Air Jordan XIX, at that point, was the lightest Air Jordan model to date, sporting a durable weave material on the upper called Tech Flex while featuring the proven full-length Zoom Air and a carbon fiber midfoot plate. Enjoy number 19 below and stay tuned for more as we enter the final week of #XX8DaysofFlight.

With all of the scrapped 2012 Air Jordan XVI samples that we’ve been showing you lately (the low-tops, the Cherrywoods, and that group shot of new colorways), you might be a bit more excited than usual to see today’s Jordan Brand #XX8DaysofFlight installment. The Air Jordan XVI is, of course, the first sneaker to be released during Michael Jordan’s Wizards comeback phase, although MJ never gave the Sixteens much mileage (he wore the Gingers a few times). If there’s a possibility of a release, you know you can keep it in tune to Sneaker News, so in the meantime, check out today’s Air Jordan of #XX8DaysofFlight and stay tuned for more.
