When in comes down to it, the III, the XI, and the XX3 are the three models that changed sneakers forever. Obviously the III was the first real individualsignature shoe ever, and introduced tumbled leather and elephant print to the game. The XI was obviously revolutionized the game with the first use of patentleather (now its hard to find sneakers w/o it!), and the carbon fiber plate, creating the most sturdy shoe ever. Now the XX3 comes out including that verysame carbon fiber, but a revolutionary design and mode of production. The XX3s pretty much blow what was possible with sneakers out of the water with the useof the panels and stitching et al. I love most Jordans, but when it comes down to it, these three are not only the most significant in Jordan / sneakerhistory, they are also my three favorite to wear. Anyhow, just thought I'd share my thoughts...
