The Air Jordan 3 Flyknit ‘Black/Anthracite’ has been marked on many fans calendars for months on end (even though the date was constantly changing). However, Jordan Brand finally released the shoe — it sold out in minutes — so we’ve got a detailed look and review for you.
Following the success of the Air Jordan 1 Flyknit, the Air Jordan 3 is the latest Jordan model to combine its iconic style with today’s innovative footwear materials. The upgraded Flyknit upper gives the shoe a much lighter weight — and does so while paying homage to the iconic original Air Jordan 3, down to the elephant print details.
The interior of the shoe (behind the tongue and the lining) features soft synthetic leather. Like the Air Jordan 1 Flyknit, the Air Jordan 3 Flyknit gets a thick insole for better step-in comfort. The biggest surprise was the glow-in-the-dark outsoles that make the shoe stand out more than it already does.
The Air Jordan 3 Flyknit ‘Black/Anthracite’ retailed for $200. It is now reselling on StockX for $233-$255 at a 22% price premium.

did these really sell out? even the cements didn’t sell out….
I would love to see Air Jordans from 1 to 9 with updated tech…but in the “Protro” way, looking as the OG but with improved cushion, at least with a softer phylon instead of PU for aestethics, performance and durability. I love hooping in retros but my knees and back can’t handle it anymore, also hate seeing AJ 3 to 9 midsole crumbling.
This would be a dream come true. Would love to actually hoop in 1s.
