Air Jordan's 'Bin 23' Collection: A Collector's Dream Returns
1 Feb
Summary
- The 'Bin 23' line debuted in 2010, inspired by Michael Jordan's love for cigars.
- Each numbered pair was released in limited quantities, fetching high resale values.
- The coveted collection is returning in 2026 with new luxury releases.
The Air Jordan 'Bin 23' Premio collection, launched in 2010, was a premium series of retros inspired by Michael Jordan's affinity for cigars.
These highly coveted sneakers featured elevated materials and were individually numbered, creating a significant demand among collectors. Many pairs quickly sold out and later achieved prices up to 12 times their original retail value on the resale market.
After a 15-year absence, the 'Bin 23' line is set to return in 2026. The revival begins with the Air Jordan 6 'Bin 23,' featuring luxurious details and a limited production run of 2,300 pairs, retailing at $355.
Further 'Bin 23' releases are planned for the Air Jordan 3, 8, and 4 later in 2026, continuing the legacy of exclusivity and premium craftsmanship.
The original 'Bin 23' series spanned five models over ten months, culminating in the Air Jordan 5 release in February 2011. Its discontinuation is attributed to corporate reorganizations within Nike, Inc.
Despite its end, the 'Bin 23' line's influence persisted through subsequent luxury collections like the 'Pinnacle' series and themed colorways, maintaining its status as a benchmark for high-end sneaker releases.
