Marqueesole provides us with a glimpse of 1/2 of the highly anticipated 3/20 Countdown Pack.  Honestly, how many of y’all are even checkin’ for the XXs?  As you can see from this picture, as well as the ones that will follow the jump, the coloring and quality of leather seem to approximate that of the OGs, and the two retros that followed in 1994 and 2001.  I’ve still got a pair of 2001 retros, but these will most certainly be copped.

Legions of Air Jordan purists will be dismayed at the Jumpman that rests where the “Nike Air” should reside, but my opinion is that having the Jumpman accompanied with the “Air” below it is better than nothing.  To some, the shape of the shoe as seen from the side may seem “off,” as I first thought.  My guess, however, is that the photographed shoe may have been a smaller size (8 or 8.5), so I will have to see these on my feet in a size 12 to be certain. 

Release information is as follows:

10/2008 Air Jordan Countdown 3/20
Multi/Multi
III Retro Black/Cement Grey-Varsity Red
XX Retro Black/Dark Charcoal-Black
$310 (Men’s)  

More pics after the jump.
