The Air Jordan 3’s Backstory
The Air Jordan 3 is a retro basketball shoe from Jordan Brand that originally released back in 1988. The shoe was revolutionary for its time and was the first Jordan silhouette to feature both “elephant print” panels and an exposed Nike air unit.
Fast forward to 2020 and Jordan Brand is adding a pop of color to this classic silhouette and giving this Women’s exclusive Retro 3 a lively “Lakers” vibe.
Materials And Color-blocking
When it comes this shoe’s materials, early photos suggest that this shoe features the traditional mix of Retro 3 materials including:
Tumbled Leather
Smooth Leather
Perforated Leather
Grey/Black Elephant Print
As far as the colors, the shoe’s upper is the usual all-white, with the only hits of color appearing on the usual elephant print panels, and “Laser Orange” appearing around the eyelets, tongue logo, and rear midsole.
Release and Resell Predictions
Although it’s not an OG colorway, if the “Jordan sellout trend” of 2020 continues, you can expect these shoes to be harder to cop than usual.
There’s no word on if these will come extended women’s sizes, but you can guarantee that all of the larger sizes will be the hardest to cop.
Nothing suggests that these will be a limited release, so expect them to be available at most major retailers via in-store/app raffles and first-come, first-served online.
When it comes to resell, don’t expect for there to be much profit to be made on this shoe, but you might be able to squeeze a few bucks out of this release if you’re able to use in-store coupons and buy the shoe below retail.
If anything changes before the release, I’ll be sure to let you know, but until then. subscribe below to receive periodic updates on all the latest sneaker releases.
