Footlocker took to their official blog site to provide release details for the upcoming new color way for the Air Jordan 6-17-23 “Infrared 23”. The official color way is White/Black/Infrared 23. Us over at Defpen Radio decided to relay the message to you guys and find out if these will be a DEF cop or DEF not.
Adding up to the legendary sum of 23, the Air Jordan VI and the Jordan XVII were fused together in 2011 to make the Jordan 6-17-23. This weekend the 6-17-23 will release again in the heralded “Infrared 23? colorway that has graced numerous AJ retro releases including the VI. Though the shoes are 11 Air Jordan models apart, when seen fused together, as they are on this release, one realizes that they’re actually not too different. Sharing similar silhouettes, features of the VI and XVIII mend together seamlessly to create a completely new sneaker. Iconic features taken from the AJ VI can be found mostly on the design of the upper which combines smooth and tumbled leather, as well as the heel tab. The midsole, tongue, and lace eyes are the most prominent elements that are used from the AJ XVII. If you’re interested in copping a pair this weekend, please read our release details below.
