The new Air Jordan shoe is green

Are you looking for a basketball shoe that has proven itself as a quality shoe over the years, but do you also want it to be environmentally friendly? Look no further than the latest incarnation of the Air Jordan: the AJXX3.

Michael Jordan wore the number 23 in the glory days with the Chicago Bulls, and with this shoe being the 23rd version of the basketball classic, Jordan decided to do something a little different. This will be the first shoe in Nike's history to reduce waste and use eco-friendly materials, like using an original system of interlocking panels instead of the toxic adhesives that are traditionally used in making sneakers.

Nike hopes that, now that they've developed the technology to make shoes a little greener, other shoe companies will follow their lead. And if you have $185 handy and are itching to have the hottest shoes on the court, you'll soon be able to hustle on out and snag yourself a pair.
