The skill, grace and brute power of Michael Jordan have inspired thousands of custom sneakers over the years. Orravan Design is taking America’s love of Number 23 to another level with a pair of bronze-clad Air Jordan XX3s.

The interplay of bronze and silver was taken from Orravan’s bronze statue of Jordan. The designer did a fantastic job of maintaining the austerity and life-like representation of Jordan from the statue to the custom XX3s. I like the idea of a sneaker fan taking off from the free-throw line wearing a pair of Air Jordans that look like they weigh a ton.

Additional pictures of the Bronze Air Jordan XX3s along with the original statue can be found at the Orravan Design MySpace page linked here.
