Inspiration for the design can clearly be traced back to the legendary Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement.”
The sneaker takes on a familiar colorway, using the Black Cement color blocking on the majority of the sneaker but features gold accents throughout.The perforated grey hits are replaced with Metallic Gold, putting a new spin on the colorway.
“Cement Grey” detailing is brought back to the upper and outsole while “Fire Red” accents the Jumpman on the tongue, the sockliner and some of the eyelets.
Lastly, an off-white, Air-infused midsole completes this bold rework.
The Air Jordan III, which has been re-released as the Jordan Retro 3 regularly since 1994, introduced a new mid-cut silhouette, the unprecedented look of elephant print, and a brilliant young designer to the world of basketball shoes.
Do Jordan 3s Break In?
Are Air Jordan 3 Good For Basketball?
One could play basketball in an Air Jordan 3, however it is inadvisable when compared to more advanced modern basketball sneakers available. Today’s tech surpasses that of the 80s and 90s with respect to sports performance.
I would put the Air Jordan 3 strictly in the casual category. While one could theoretically hoop in some retro Js, this is nowhere near ideal. I find walking in the Air Jordan 3 is ok, as long as you don’t overdo it. A few miles at a time is fine though.
