I'm sure there are a number of you who have read about the 23rd installment of the Nike Air Jordan basketball shoe and are bummed that you didn't get your hands on a pair because:

a) you don't live near one of the 23 retailers who got the initial batch in January;

b) you're ballin' days are over, so if you're spending $200 on a pair of shoes, they'll go with a suit; or

c) ever since Michael Jordan did the whole, "I'm retired! I play baseball! No, wait, I'm still a basketball player!" thing, you just don't want to be like Mike anymore.

At any rate, I have good news: reachnyc.com is holding a contest so you can win a pair of this kicks. The bad news? It ends tomorrow. But, it's easy to enter -- visit the website, answer the three questions, make sure you can wear a size 10.5, and you're golden.

Why should you want these shoes, other than the fact that they're the hot new sneaker on the market? You might be interested to know that Nike implemented environmentally-friendly technology in the making of these shoes by using interlocking panels instead of toxic glue. This update required a great deal of new machinery, so since Nike has made that investment already, I'm hoping they'll continue to go a little greener with some other shoes. Hey, a girl can dream!
