6-17-23

The Jordan Brand's latest line of hybrids takes the idea of the "Countdown Pack" series and fuses them into one shoe. The Air Jordan VI and XVII come together this time around, creating the all new Jordan 6-17-23. Continuing to take from past Air Jordan's, the colorway put to use is borrowed from arguably one of the most popular styles of the Air Jordan VIII.
Making use of the "Aqua" color scheme, the 6-17-23 arrives in an all black build in a combination of several different materials. Black patent leather takes place on the toe while a weave material and black nubuck fills in other areas throughout. Creating the aqua color scheme, orion blue is seen working the outsole along with concord on the heel, eyelets and other areas throughout.
Theair jordan 6 and Air Jordan 17 came together in a CDP pack some time ago. From the looks of things, Spring of 2011 will have them coming together as a single shoe.
Some multi shoe hybrid have yielded great results, including a number of .5 Team releases and of course, the Spizikes. This shoe isn’t one of them. Mixing the 17′sheel and lace eyelets, the majority of this shoe’s styling comes from the 6, including the icy outsole forefoot.
