| |
Jordan Socks. Pic1 : These aren't your regular pair of socks. These are special. They even come in their own box. Celebrating 25 years of Air Jordans the Jordan company plans to release a number of socks with details on each one related to a specific Air Jordan shoe. Look at the picture closely to see which shoe was inspired for each sock. (We don't know when they'll be available in stores) |
| |
 Retro 1 Premier (Metallic Zinc). Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Pic4 : Here are some better pics of the high top Air Jordan 1. We don't know the exact release date, but it should be released either this month or next month. It's a "Premier" edition so it'll be harder to find in stores.
|

Retro 1 Premier (Obsidian Patent Leather). Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Here are some better pics of the patent leather high top Air Jordan 1. The shoe looks black, but it's actually a dark navy blue. We don't know the exact release date, but it should be released either this month or next month. It's a "Premier" edition so it'll be harder to find in stores. |

UPDATE: Retro 12 "Rising Sun." Pic1 : Pic2 : The Jordan company has delayed the release of the MEN SIZES until November 21. They are sending new insoles to all of the retail stores. The stores will replace the old insoles with the new insoles, which are just plain white. The red Rising Sun symbol upset some people because of its political meaning. |

| Marcus from Boston... ordered a couple of shoes from us and said: "This site is the truth. I'm always on this website checking out release dates. I happen to come across a pair of Retro Penny's......I never bought from this site, but a lot of people say good things and I couldn't find these sneakers anywhere. I ordered them and they were delivered to my door before I could even buy clothes to go with the sneakers. Very fast shipping. My sneakers are NOT fakes! I think you guys have a loyal customer. I just ordered some Retro 12's and plan on doing a lot more business with you guys." |

 Why did Michael Jordan wear the number 12? Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : A lot of you may not know this story, but during a game in 1990 against the Orlando Magic someone snuck into the Bulls locker room and stole Jordan's "23" jersey before the game. Unfortunately the Bulls did not have a spare jersey, so they had to give Jordan a number "12" jersey with no name on the back. After that game the Bulls made sure to bring plenty of extra "23" jerseys to all future games to avoid having the same problem again. |

| MJ donates $500,000 to the Boys & Girls Club. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Michael Jordan announced he was making a $500,000 donation to the "Slidell Boys and Girls Club" to build a new gymnasium for the kids. |
| |
| Was it the shoes that helped MJ extend his career? Yeah. Michael Jordan credits the invention and use of the carbon fiber shank plate in his shoes for prolonging his basketball career and helping him avoid any serious injuries. The Air Jordan XI (the one with the shiny patent leather) was the first Air Jordan shoe to have a carbon fiber shank plate. The carbon fiber shank plate took pressure off his knees and arches, which is why MJ insists on having some form of shank plate in his shoes even to this day. |

 Air-Mania DVD. We came across a DVD called "Airmania" on Amazon.com. We haven't watched it, but here's a summary, "Airmania is a light-hearted inquisition into those dedicated individuals who have collectively elevated Michael Jordan's historical status to that of an icon and a hero." Click here to order the DVD from Amazon.com. |

| Kenneth from Florida... ordered a pair of J's from us and said: "Just wanted to say thanks for the shoes. Received them one day earlier then expected. Great site! Great shoes! 100% real! Hope to do future business with you guys. Thanks a bunch!" |

| Stop your shoes from squeaking. The Retro 10 and Retro 11 Low are prone to start squeaking after wearing them a few times. If you're having this problem you can try this: 1) Remove the insole; it's glued on so be careful removing it. 2) Pour some baby powder inside the shoe, then put the insole back in the shoe. We cannot guarantee this will stop the squeaking, but a lot of people who tried it said the squeaking has stopped. We're just passing along the tip. |

 The story behind the Nike "swoosh" logo. Who came up with the infamous Nike "swoosh" logo? It was actually designed by a female Portland State University student who received $35 from the founder of Nike to create the logo. Yes, you read that right. A lousy $35. But after Nike became successful they decided to give her some stock in the company along with a gold Nike ring. The swoosh logo is supposed to represent the wing of the Greek Goddess "Nike" who was the Goddess of Victory. |

| Jordan almost became a New York Knick. In Spike Lee's book, Best Seat in the House, Spike tells the story of how in late 1996 he and MJ were talking after shooting a commercial together. Spike asked MJ if there was ever a chance he could have left the Bulls and gone to the Knicks. MJ said, "There was a chance." Spike couldn't believe it. MJ went on to say, "Before I signed with Chicago last year, after we won, it came down to 30 minutes. New York was right downstairs. The Bulls---all they had to do was mess up." What Jordan meant by that is if Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Bulls, had made an insulting offer MJ would have walked away and signed with the Knicks. Thankfully, the Bulls offered Jordan $30 million for a one year contract and the legend continued. |

 After the Bulls won Game 7....of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, a reporter suggested that the Utah Jazz might have an advantage over the Bulls in the Finals because of their extended rest. The reporter told Jordan, "They're rested, you guys are fatigued. But I know you'll be ready to play on Wednesday." Jordan quickly replied, "Our hearts are not fatigued. That's the most important thing." |

Steven from California recently ordered the Retro 1's from us and said: "Hey, I just wanted to thank you guys for the shoes. I've been looking everywhere for these shoes and just when I thought I lost the opportunity there they were on 23isBACK.com. I also want to say that shipping was excellent. I was so excited that I ordered them and then best of all they came two days later. Thanks again." |

| $700,000 worth of FAKES hidden behind toilet paper. U.S. Customs is taking a closer look at the containers entering our ports. A news article stated that U.S. Customs found a shipping container from China trying to enter the port in Oakland, CA. The container contained kitchen cabinets, but upon closer inspection a Customs Agent found thousands of FAKE Nike and Jordan shoes behind stacks of toilet paper. Click here to read the article. |

| Stores and websites that sell FAKES. Pic1 There are a ton of websites on the internet that sell Fake Air Jordans including eBay. Fakes have even made their way into neighborhood stores. If you find a store or website selling hard to find, older, or unreleased Air Jordans for really low prices (usually around $90) and they have a lot of sizes available that should tell you that something isn't right. Make sure you read everything on a website very carefully. If the website says the shoes are going to be shipped from overseas (usually China) then you're almost guaranteed to get Fakes. Remember, if it's too good to be true it usually is. Fakes are made in wacky, strange colors, but they're also made in the same colors as the original, authentic pairs, which makes them harder to spot. Some websites use pictures of authentic shoes, but end up sending you a Fake pair. Just use common sense. Nike is aware of the ongoing problem and they are trying to crack down on stores and websites that sell Fakes. They setup a special email address so you can report those stores. Send an email to COUNTERFEIT@NIKE.COM If a website is selling fakes give them the link to the website. If you know of a store in your area that is selling Fakes give them the name and address of that store. Nike will investigate and cooperate with the local Police to take further action, but don't expect an immediate result. |
