Take the chi/city skyline and the black polka dots off the liner I'd like them a lot more

Agreed, XX3 are definitely my favorite post-MJ as well. They didn't do this one right though because one of the most important parts of the shoe is the graphic stitching on the upper. Reintroduce it with an OG colorway then do new ones.

I can see MJ at the board meeting now..."Let's retro the XX3 in the Measles Colorway". And all his yes-men nodding in agreement.

I remember that my pockets were on fire in 2008 between copping CDP's and XX3's all year long. I pretty much have every OG color way of the XX3 except the exclusive joints, being the Titaniums and Premier's.

Only gripe I had about the XX3's were that annoying pinky toe issue from wearing them, and the fact that I doubled up on All-Stars that year, and the tongue tab is piss yellow while all the other white based XX3's are straight. smh

I don't think that is polka dots, rather stars.....regardless they are not for me. The stars and the embroider "CHI" on the side isn't appealing. Take that away and even though I wouldn't want them, would be better. Go ahead and make these limited JB. I could care less about them.

More trash J's releasing? Only 2 Jordan's after 14 would ever get my money. The 17 and the red suede 21.

Bring some OG colorways and im all in. Love the XX3..wore my allstars recently and they are yellowing like crazy...ran stealths to the ground, would cop these if I dont have to jump thru flaming hoops to get em(got a feeling if they do release they'll be somewhat limited)

Not the best colour way but I can't wait for a retro. I was really disappointed when JB decided to not release the silver (25th) XX3

Collected them when they came out...no PEs though

What I was thinking. I couldn't see these even releasing outside of their city/state in general. Or maybe an early drop to them exclusively and then limited pairs more widespread to follow later..
