First released in 1988 during Michael Jordan’s first MVP season, the Air Jordan 3 quickly became a game-changer in the sneaker world. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the AJ3 introduced revolutionary features like the Jumpman logo, visible Air cushioning, and the now-iconic elephant print.

This mid-cut sneaker not only solidified MJ’s partnership with Nike but also set a new standard in both performance and style. Colorways like “Black Cement” and “White Cement” became instant classics, seamlessly blending athletic functionality with streetwear appeal.

The Air Jordan 3’s appeal has only grown over time, with continuous releases, high-profile collaborations, and retros keeping the silhouette fresh in sneaker culture. As one of the most celebrated sneakers in history, the Jordan 3 has something for everyone—from OG colorways beloved by die-hard fans to modern interpretations and sought-after collabs.
