With the flawlessly crafted Air Jordan XXIII serving as inspiration, the Jordan Dentro takes on an intricate, Italiano influence that can be witnessed through the shoe’s delightfully placed stitching and beautifully sculpted midsole. The shoe also happens to feature Mike’s high school statistics in Roman Numerals along the heel– XXIX.II, XI.VI and X.I, as he indeed averaged 29.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.1 assists in his senior year at Laney High School.
On a more performance basis, the shoe offers up a Carbon Fiber-esque midfoot support shank and a plush, mesh inner lining that is supposed to be the real deal, word to Antoine Walker. The Dentro, which actually means inside in Itailian, is directed towards hardwood ballplayers, and will be available in a wide range of materials including patent, nutbuck, and smooth synthetics.
