One of the best sneakers to ever be worn by Michael Jordan is the Air Jordan 3. Overall, this is a fantastic shoe that is now 35 years old. In fact, this is the shoe that helped save Nike in a way. At the time, MJ wanted to leave the brand, however, Tinker Hatfield came through with a design that he could not refuse. Subsequently, this shoe went on to be one of the biggest successes in the history of the brand. Moreover, Hatfield continued to designs Air Jordans for the ensuing decade.
When Jordan came back to basketball in the early 2000s, he played for the Washington Wizards. This was at a time when their primary colors were blue and gold. Of course, this led to some very interesting sneakers. Additionally, Jordan was known to wear some of his old models during this time. The Air Jordan 3 was part of this, and the Wizards PE that Jordan wore became infamous. After years of yearning, sneakerheads are now going to have a chance to cop this shoe. Over the weekend, the official images became a reality.
"Wizards" Air Jordan 3
As you can see from the images both above and below, you can see how this shoe resembles the OG quite perfectly. Firstly, we have white leather that adorns the entire upper. Secondly, the shoe has a blue midsole with some blue up near the laces. Furthermore, the elephant print hits are found at the toe box, as well as the back heel. Lastly, the tongue has a gold Jumpman logo in the middle, for good measure. When you put all of these elements together, you get a shoe that is certainly going to please a whole lot of people.
The shoe is going to be dropping on April 29th for a price of $210 USD. However, pairs will be available through GOAT and Flight Club, so do not worry about potentially missing out.
