Here’s some good news for all of you interested in copping a pair of the upcoming Jordan Tokyo23 Pack. The Japan-based store Nike Harajuku plans to hold a raffle for the highly desired pack, running from Friday April 29 to Sunday, May 1st. The raffle will be in-store only, and limited to one ticket per customer. While this may not mean much to us sneakerheads in the states, at least it gives hope to some of you guys overseas.
A lot of you have been asking about the Jordan Tokyo23 Air Jordan 5 and CP3.IV releases, which have been produced in very limited quantities. I just wanted to let you guys know there are quite a few pairs available online now, mainly on eBay. They aren’t cheap though – there’s quite a few $600-700 listings for the 5s. Here’s a link to the auction listings.
Here’s a couple of official images of the “Tokyo 23” pack, which will include Air Jordan V and Jordan CP3.IV. While the Tokyo 23 basketball tournament will be held May 28-29, we still have no official release date for this pack yet.
Here’s a better pic of the upcoming Jordan Tokyo23 Pack, planned as a promotion for the opening of Jordan Brand’s Tokyo-based store, “Jordan Tokyo23.” The Tokyo23 Pack is a collaborative effort between Jordan Brand and Nitro Microphone Underground member XBS. As, you can see, both pairs have a yellow/grey/black color scheme, with a hint of white. There’s not much info yet, but next month Jordan Brand will launch the store’s official web site at jordantokyo23.com.
It looks like Jordan Brand is making big moves this year. Take a look at these Air Jordan V and Jordan CP3 IV colorways, which may possibly be released at Jordan Brand’s rumored Tokyo23 shop in Japan. While this might mean we won’t be getting them in the U.S., they will definitely be available at the online shops. Let’s hope Jordan Brand decides to go through with the expansion. I’ll certainly keep you guys posted as more info becomes available.
