It appears the Air Jordan Force Fusion series was just the beginning for Jordan Brand and their hybrid shoe experiments, because the brand has now decided to fuse together two of  their own sneaker models, the Air Jordan I (1) and the Air Jordan XX3 (23).

Featuring the silhouette of  the AJ1 and detailing of the AJ23, this new hybrid model, which goes by the name Air Jordan (I) 1 / XX3 (23) Fusion, tries to offer the best of each Jordan shoe. The most noticeable detail is the netting from the AJ23 that wraps around the side & heel, the toe area & base of the AJ1, and the addition of a  translucent swoosh.

I doubt this new model will be popular (or even tolerated)  with many Jordanheads, but we won’t see a real response until they release in stores next year (2010). Retail $150.
