Air Jordan 3 Retro

In 1988, it eclipsed everything that had ever been seen before - the Nike Air Jordan III, Michael Jordan's third signature shoe, for which he collaborated with Nike's mastermind Tinker Hatfield for the first time. But it almost didn't happen, because ‘His Airness’ was about to leave Nike in 1987 - hardly imaginable in retrospect. Elephant print, Jumpman, visible Air bubble - everything was seen on a Jordan shoe for the first time. With the debut of Mars Blackmon aka Spike Lee in the advertising campaign for the launch, the victory in the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest, with the legendary dunk from the free throw line, as well as the honours as MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, the Air Jordan III was predestined to make history. Now the classic is being released in the Black Cement colourway. The Jordan brand has opted for a smooth black leather upper and details in the eponymous shade of grey.
