Hunting for the Air Jordan XX3 in HI
The general release of the Air Jordan XX3 is set for today, February 23, but how hard will it be to find a pair in Hawaii? I called Niketown Honolulu on Friday and while no line had yet formed, the employee said she wouldn’t be surprised if there were a line come Saturday morning. Niketown didn’t reveal how many pairs of XX3s they had, but they were promoting the XX3 release at their 10th Anniversary celebration on Friday night.
Footlocker Ala Moana is probably the place that will get the second most Jordans. They open at 9:30. Footlocker Pearlridge Downtown said they only have 6 pairs to sell (I’m guessing 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5?). Footlocker Pearlridge Uptown said they didn’t have any, but if the smaller Downtown location got some, the bigger Uptown has got to have some XX3. Don’t even try the Windward Mall Footlocker, they don’t got none. Didn’t check with the newer Waikiki location.
Kicks Hawaii supposedly ain’t getting any AJ XX3, and I didn’t even bother with any Champs locations since I still think their business practices are a bit shady. Didn’t check any of the military locations like the NEX but oftentimes, they surprise you with their selection.
If you can’t find any XX3 locally, they can still be found online. Footlocker.com has them if you’re willing to pay $15+ for shipping. Niketown.com is now advertising the latest Jordans with free ground shipping (which I don’t think Hawaii qualifies for, but you never know).
Good luck!
