First Air Jordan 2013 image.

Commenter in this CounterKicks post translated the Chinese tech description:


Translation:

- Proplate Zoom increases energy returned after jumping by 46%
- Dynamic linking system provides better ergonomic fit
- Integrates with internet, enhances wearing experience



So, new "Proplate Zoom" Jordan exclusive tech and some type of Nike+ integration into the next AJ...

Yeah but I think JB is looking more toward creating performance shoes now. I heard the 2012 was a good shoe to ball in

BTW, glad to see your avy finally got fixed

This.....x 10
If you knew how Jordan handled the 2012 and how little Tinker dealt with it... youd realize they need a kick in the pants... cuz no one cares anymore.  Give it to Justin to create I say.
 
They only thing still interesting about the Jordan line is the marketing BS Tinker has to put out his %$! year after year to try to convince people he actually tried with/cares about the shoe.

Seriously though, I find it comical that they're still doin this yearly signature. Shoulda stopped at 23. Shoulda never started naming them after the year. All they'll do is sit unless some clowns actually bite on the new gimmicky 'performance' concept.
 
Jesus %*@#$$# christ! Look at all the cries of 'gimmick' and 'Tinker is losing it' based solely on one picture of new technology! Do you realize how many past Jordans have included technology that was unheard of hitherto? People cried gimmick then and now look at the implementation in other shoes. I love how everyone has their hate ready. Everyone constantly whinges about the rising cost of shoes that don't implement new tech (retros). I applaud the innovation.

Yup. I heard the Jordan 2012s were good. I'm thinking about picking up a pair soon. 
 
Pesimisim at its finest here in the Jordan forum, I admit I thought the 2012s were trash when the first pics came out but the finished product turned out just fine imho , I'll reserve judgment until we get a finished product this time, I appreciate the use of new tech bought 2011s on sale strictly for ball and they perform great , I'll probably do the same when the 2012s come to the outlets, because after all theses sneakers are in reality BASKETBALL SHOES!
 
XX3's were the end for real Jordans.  It was a good run.  I never bought a sig shoe after XX3 cause there is no such thing.  I don't wear Team Jordans.
