Air Jordan XX3 Premier Edition - Black / Varsity Red (FIRE!)

Yup!  A new version of the Air Jordan XX3 Premier Edition drops in the O.G. Chicago Bulls Black/Varsity Red colorway on December 23rd.  I like what they did by matching Jordan's #23 with the date and retail price of $230!  Good lord, that's expensive.  Expect there to be RIDICULOUS lines for these joints considering that most people probably won't be working or in school next week.  The fact that everyone is in the Christmas spending mood (despite the recession) should make this even crazier.

The f'd up part is that people have been camping outside of stores since December 17th.  WTF?!?!  Could you be any bigger of a nerd?  I am down for waking up early or even camping out a night before the release of a coveted shoe (not that I would do it myself) but this is just retarded.  They aren't THAT good.

I actually prefer the original black colorway compared to these but it's the limited nature of this release that makes them so popular.  They are only releasing 529 pairs in 23 select Jordan Brand accounts so they will be virtually impossible to cop even if you are located near one of these stores and actually have a job or life that will keep you from waiting in line for a week  Locations that have been mentioned include House of Hoops in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago.  Expect to see these online for some serious cashola just a few minutes after their release.  I don't think many buyers will be planning on holding on to these for the long term.  I think I will pass.  They're still fly though...
