A new Air Jordan 3 for kids is dropping next Spring.

Tinker Hatfield snapped when he made the Air Jordan 3. If you are a sneakerhead, you know that this is the shoe that made Michael Jordan want to stay with Nike. Hatfield saved Nike, and for years afterward, he was given the pleasure of designing shoes for MJ.

What made the Air Jordan 3 so special was the elephant print on the toe box and back heel. In addition to this, the shoe has a visible Air Max unit, which was a signature addition by Hatfield. Tinker was responsible for the Nike Air Max 1, and he brought that same design technique to an Air Jordan.

For years, the Air Jordan 3 has been hit with some truly amazing colorways. It is a shoe that never dies, and while it was put in the vault a few years ago, it received a resurgence in 2018. That year marked the shoe's 30th anniversary, and Jordan Brand has not looked back since.

Kids' sneakers are known for having unique color schemes, and this is certainly an example of that. There is no telling whether or not these will be popular, but you have to hand it to Jordan Brand for creativity.
