Overall, you can never go wrong with the Air Jordan 3. For those who may not know, this is the shoe that ultimately helped keep Michael Jordan with Nike. At the time, MJ wanted to leave Nike. However, Tinker Hatfield swooped in and designed an incredible shoe. Jordan was so impressed that he decided to stay with Nike. Moreover, he enlisted Hatfield to make all of his Jordans, all the way up until the Air Jordan 15. Needless to say, Hatfield is a legend of the sneaker world.
There are multiple reasons why this shoe is so unique. For instance, this is the first Jordan to have a visible Air Max unit in the midsole. Furthermore, this sneaker included elephant print on the toe box and the back heel. This was pretty unique at the time, and fans ended up loving the aesthetic. Over the years, this shoe has been blessed with a ton of amazing color schemes. However, there is no doubt that fans gravitate to the classics, like the "White Cement" offering.
Air Jordan 3 Retro
Interestingly enough, the "White Cement" is returning this year as part of Jumpman's "Reimagined" series. Now, the infamous Air Jordan 3 is back, and fans could not be any happier. Firstly, this shoe starts off with that iconic white leather upper. Secondly, we get a grey elephant print which contrasts well with the red Jumpman logo on the tongue. The "Reimagined" portion of the shoe is the midsole, which has a yellow-aged look to it. Lastly, the back heel has the Nike Air logo on it which is definitely what the OG sneakerheads are looking for.
At this point, the shoe has been confirmed for a March 11th release date. It is also important to note that the shoe will cost $210 USD at retail. Pairs will be available over at GOAT and Flight Club in a large array of sizes. As always, let us know what you think of these, down in the comments section below.
