Introducing the Air Jordan 3
The Air Jordan 3 is more than a sneaker - it’s a milestone in both basketball and sneaker culture. Consistently ranked among the greatest Jordans ever, this model broke new ground with its signature elephant print, visible Air cushioning, and mid-cut silhouette; innovations that set it apart from everything that came before.
Designed in 1987 by Tinker Hatfield, the AJ3 played a crucial role in keeping Michael Jordan with Nike at a time when he was considering a move to adidas. The outcome was a sneaker that perfectly captured MJ’s essence: luxurious in look, yet uncompromising in performance.
Crafted from premium leather, nubuck, or suede, the Air Jordan 3 delivers durability with a refined feel. Its foam midsole incorporates a visible Air unit in the heel for responsive cushioning, while a rubber outsole with a herringbone traction pattern ensures stability on the court. Comfort is enhanced with a padded collar and tongue, while perforations on the upper provide breathability.
From the hardwood to the streets, the Air Jordan 3 endures as a timeless essential, blending heritage, innovation, and style like no other.
