Air Jordan 3

The Air Jordan 3 is Michael Jordan’s third signature model and is one of the most iconic silhouettes of the OG Jordan line. The shoe originally debut in 1988 and was the first Air Jordan model to implement visible Air units, the iconic Jumpman logo, and the classic elephant print. 

The Jordan 3 was the first Jordan sneaker designed by legendary designer Tinker Hatfield. The original design featured Nike’s swoosh, but the final product featured only the Jumpman logo. 

The Jordan 3 was the shoe Michael wore during the legendary 1988 Dunk Contest as he took off from the free-throw line. Mike would win his first MVP trophy that year as well. 

The Air Jordan 3 is no longer a top-of-the-line on-court performer, but it’s still one of the sleekest and most sought-after models of the Jordan line.

Air Jordan 3 Muslin Review

The Air Jordan 3 Muslin looks different, but the silhouette cannot be more familiar. Admittedly, we didn’t initially like these when the images came out, even though we thought they were women-specific, like the Air Jordan 4 x Off-White Sail joints. However, upon getting them in hand, we’re glad this is for anyone who wants to rock a fresh pair of Air Jordans. These are

Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red

Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red Review

The Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red looks like an OG colorway, but isn’t. These could’ve fit right into 1988 and we’re not mad at that. We love that we can get new colorways that still bring us the vibe of nostalgia from its original release year and also a feeling of a breath of fresh air. The craftsmanship is also

Air Jordan 3 Patchwork Review

The Air Jordan 3 Patchwork is an interesting sneaker that will for sure not be skyrocketing in the resale market. Which is really good news for actual fans of the shoe and/or the brand. Everything from the midsole to the outsole is pretty much standard, but the upper has really been tweaked to where it’s the main highlight of the

Air Jordan 3 Racer Blue Review

The Air Jordan 3 Racer Blue is a hot new take on a classic from 1988. Utilizing the original color blocking of the Air Jordan 3 Retro Fire Red, this gives us a blue version of the shoe.

Air Jordan 3 Rust Pink Review

The Air Jordan 3 Rust Pink is a new play on colors for a timeless classic. The shoe is quite straightforward and needs little to no introduction. Right off the bat, it’s obvious that this shoe isn’t for everyone. With so much pink and that block of crimson, these may throw people off or have them pulling out their wallets
