The Nike Air Jordan XX3 may be attempting to hypnotize consumers with its mysterious design on the side, and it may in fact work.

Released for the 2007-2008 NBA season, this pair of Jordan's has a lot of stuff going on. The design near the bottom of the shoe is captivating, and the way the red fades into black near the toe is flawless.

As for the design on the side of the shoe, Nike and Jordan take a risk here, but it pays off. It makes the shoe seem very busy, almost wild, but it works. To keep in theme, the shoe laces would have been better off coming in red or black.

Overall though, this shoe is very fashionable and quite interesting to look at. Nike and Jordan swung for the fences on this one, and they more than hit it dead on.
