Emerging as a product of the partnership between Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith, the Jordan 23 Stealth stands as the inaugural basketball shoe born from their collaboration. Working jointly on the design, they crafted Michael Jordan's signature footwear, infused with a distinct Chicago Bulls aesthetic.
The Air Jordan 23 Stealth showcases an upper designed in a palette of black, Varsity Red, and Stealth shades – reminiscent of the Chicago Bulls' colors. Equipped with a full-length Zoom Air sole unit for exceptional cushioning, the shoe boasts meticulous stitching that unveils an external heel moccasin stitch, complemented by a high-performance TPU chassis engineered for stability and support. Infused with distinctive Michael Jordan elements, such as his thumbprint tucked inside the tongue and his signature gracing the toe, this silhouette pays homage to the legend. Other noteworthy features include a breathable tongue, reinforced quarter panels, a streamlined internal bootie, and a quilted pattern on the molded sock liner.
Something we love about this sneaker is that it was the first basketball shoe in Nike’s history to have an environmentally friendly and sustainable design. The Jordan 23 Stealth was released on February 23rd, 2008. Upon its release, the sneaker retailed at $185.
