The Air Jordan 23, a model that emerged in 2008 under the guidance of legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, represents a blend of innovative design and high-performance technology. Though it's a rarity to see the Jordan 23 in retail today, it has begun to appear as a PE for universities tied to Jordan Brand. Following up on Georgetown’s version of the model, the University of Oklahoma has been bestowed with its very own Air Jordan 23 PE.
The Sooners' version of the Air Jordan 23 PE is a vibrant tribute to the school's colors and heritage. It features a striking combination of red, white, and navy hues, each thoughtfully placed to represent the Sooners' spirit across the leather and suede construction. While white hues dominate the toe and perforated tongue, the suede side panel is where the nod to the University of Oklahoma' shines. Embossed into the suede upper on the lateral side is the “OU” logo, while the medial side of the sneaker presents the same logo in its quilted design.
Behind the tongue, the words "Boomer" and "Sooner" are divided between the left and right sneakers, a nod to the university's famous chant. The tongue features the Oklahoma logo in bold red, making a statement and ensuring the university's presence is felt with every step.
While the Air Jordan 23 Oklahoma Sooners PE is not available for public purchase, its existence is a testament to the university's esteemed partnership with Jordan Brand and a coveted piece for collectors and fans alike.
