Whilst some may look at this as a sleeper hit, it’d be wrong to deny that the NIKE AIR JORDAN 3 is one of the highlights in the Air Jordan repertoire. Michael Jordan’s third basketball model first dropped in 1988 and turned heads with a largely Swoosh-less design that featured the bold Jumpman branding in pole position. But the key element that many will attribute to the design is the elephant print (AKA cement print, which features in reflective black 3M material here) which has proven to work across multiple releases ever since. Tumbled leather uppers meet with synthetic layers and overlays, with a contrasting white and grey midsole sitting underneath everything.
