Culture Note™
The Air Jordan 3, a pivotal design by Tinker Hatfield, emerged as a symbol of rejuvenation for Michael Jordan's relationship with Nike. This marked the inception of the iconic Jumpman logo, the visible Air unit, and the celebrated elephant print, forever altering the landscape of athletic footwear. The 'True Blue' colorway, an original from 1988, solidified its place within the pantheon of classic sneaker designs.
Originally conceived for the rigors of professional basketball, the Air Jordan 3 Retro OG BG 'True Blue' 2016 transcends its athletic origins. While retaining its functional design elements, it has evolved into a lifestyle staple, effortlessly transitioning from casual wear to light athletic activities. The accommodating fit, coupled with the soft leather uppers, makes it a comfortable choice for everyday use.
The Air Jordan 3 has undeniably left an indelible mark on popular culture, as seen on the feet of influential figures across various domains. Wiz Khalifa, in August 2011, and Cassie, on the same date, were early adopters, showcasing the shoe's appeal in the music scene. Big Boi, during the music video for Trae the Truth's track 'I'm On' in January 2012, further cemented its status within hip-hop culture. Furthermore, Ludacris, in January 2014, embraced the design, highlighting its enduring popularity. Michael Jordan, during his post-retirement era playing with the Washington Wizards, continued to champion the Air Jordan 3, underscoring its personal significance.
This iteration features a mid-top silhouette, meticulously crafted with a white tumbled leather upper, delivering both elegance and durability. Cement Grey elephant print overlays adorn the toe and heel, complemented by True Blue and Fire Red accents, creating a striking visual contrast. The shoe incorporates a polyurethane midsole housing a visible Air unit in the heel and an embedded Air unit in the forefoot, ensuring optimal cushioning for performance and comfort.
