When you first gaze upon the Air Jordan Phase 23 Hoops midtop, you see some familiar design elements. These joints feature a streaky graphic on their rear a la Air Jordan VIII but the eyelet wing itself where you find this splash of color is closer to the AJ7. Move forward to the side panels to see moire-style perforations like the Air Jordan 2010 Team and if you keep going you get the forefoot strap most recently seen on the Jordan BCT. So how, then, does the Phase 23 Hoops have all these characteristics and yet totally avoid looking like a hybrid? Chalk it up to design magic, and a trio of solid colorways certainly doesn’t hurt, each of these three set to drop soon at select Jordan Brand retailers as part of the May 2011 footwear collection.
