Jordan Retro 3 Shoes

The sneaker design GOAT

After the first two Air Jordan editions set the sneaker universe ablaze, the Air Jordan III truly took things to the next level. Released in 1988, the AJ III was the first to be created by legendary shoe architect Tinker Hatfield (he’d go on to design the next 12 Air Jordan kicks, along with a number of other signature models throughout the years). It was first retro released in 1994 and has continued to see fresh colorways launched over the years.

Dawn of the Jumpman

While the first two Air Jordans were marked with the “Wings” logo, Hatfield decided to give the AJ III a new custom stamp of approval. He did so by turning MJ’s silhouette into the now globally recognized Jumpman logo and placing it on the sneaker’s tongue. His innovations didn’t stop there, as elephant hide-like print on the upper and an Air unit in the heel, visible for the first time in the series, elevated the kicks to even greater heights.

MJ ups his game

Equipped with the AJ III, His Airness wasted no time wreaking havoc on the league. In them, he’d take over All-Star weekend, winning both his second Slam Dunk contest – with his renowned foul-line jam – and his first of three All-Star MVP awards. That season, he’d go on to win Defensive Player of the Year, his second straight scoring title, and his first of what would eventually be five league MVPs.
