Air 23 – Air Jordan Release Dates, Foamposite, Air Max, and More

With the return of the Black/Cement Grey Air Jordan IIIs just a month away, many sites have already received shipments, making them incredibly easy to cop early. Unfortunately, there’s been a large number of rumors circulating about these “early release” sites, putting their quality and at times, even authenticity, into question. One of the more popular sites is Air Randy. Thanks to my buddy Marwan, I was able to get a first-hand look at Air Randy’s IIIs, as well conduct a brief comparison of the 2011 IIIs to the 2008 Collezione release.

Before we get to the comparison, let’s look at Air Randy’s product. As you can see, the sneaker looks virtually flawless. The stitching was good, there were no paint chips, and included in the box was the elephant print paper and foldout design sheet. Unfortunately, there was no Jordan hangtag. There is still some question as to whether every pair comes with it, as quite a few pairs have surfaced both with and without it. It’s possible that hangtags could be limited to select regions, but nevertheless, the pictures reveal a legit, quality product from Air Randy. It’s possible that you may get a defective pair, but the same can happen at your local store.

Flawless! But where’s the hangtag?
