114 pages Designed by Hiromichi Ishihara 28,4 x 21 cm Language: English & Japanese Paperback Publisher: Jack Premium 2008
Published in 2008 to mark the release of the Air Jordan XX3 — the twenty-third model in the line, a milestone echoing Michael Jordan's own number — this special edition of the celebrated Japanese magazine スニーカーSneaker Jack is a dedicated tribute to the Air Jordan legacy. It pairs a retrospective on the series' most iconic silhouettes with extended coverage of the then-new XX3, the sustainability-minded design that closed the numbered chapter of the line.
At its core sits a comprehensive encyclopaedia of the Air Jordan I through XX2, documenting close to 450 colourways and variations, rounded out with essays on sneaker culture and a survey of the most anticipated Spring/Summer 2008 releases from Nike, New Balance, Puma, BAPE and others. Densely illustrated throughout in the meticulous style for which Japanese sneaker publishing is prized, it remains an essential reference for Air Jordan devotees and collectors of Japanese sneaker magazines alike.
