Jared Ebanks The Air Jordan XX3 Chicago Releasing at Station 23 “Reimagined” returned to social media virality this week after appearing on clearance shelves at Ross. However, the March 2023 release wouldn’t be the last Jordan 3 found in an obscure environment amid December as Spike Lee’s highly-coveted Air Jordan XX3 Chicago Releasing at Station 23 Jordan Brand will revisit a fan-favorite theme for summer 2022.
Nike Air Jordan Xxxv 35 Dna White Black Red Sneakers Shoe Conceited Just Don x Air Jordan 2, the $10,000 pair was donated to the nonprofit organization in April 2023. After confirming the pair’s authenticity at a local sneaker store, Portland Rescue Mission contacted the model’s famed designer, Tinker Hatfield. When the longtime Jumpman designer showed up to the organization, Hatfield brought transversely a replacement box and a framed design graphic – which he signed after further confirming the model’s legitimacy with only four to five pairs ever created.
The regal Jordan 3 was originally crafted for the acclaimed film director and producer to wear to the 2019 Oscars, where Lee debuted the shoes while taking home the award for best-adapted screenplay for the 2018 film “BlacKkKlansman”. The mid-top trim served as a hallmark point in the two’s long-standing relationship that dates back to Lee’s “Mars Blackmon” commercials with Jordan followed by the High of the Jordan Spiz’ike in 2006.
Coated in a premium gold foil, the noteworthy colorway sports “University Red” and jet-black accents at the inner lining and midsole with a completely translucent tread underfoot. Appearing with stitched profile Swooshes – a staple for Hatfield’s recent wave of AJ3s – the right heel tab sports the logo of Spike Lee’s 40 Acres and A Mule Filmworks production company.
Spike Lee’s NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 RETRO HIGH WHEAT 27.5cm are currently up for auction at Sotheby’s in a men’s size 12.5 alongside a current bid of $13,000 – as of Sunday afternoon. The lot officially closes on December 18th at 9:50 am PT with an estimated sale ranging from $15,000 to $20,000. In the meantime, the pair can be seen ahead in detailed imagery.
