Air Jordan 3 RETRO Seoul Sample
Culture Note™️
Origin
The genesis of the Air Jordan 3 'Seoul' is rooted in both the legacy of the Air Jordan 3 and the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Designed by Dan Sunwoo and Tinker Hatfield, the initial release was a tribute to South Korea, marking the first time a national flag graced an Air Jordan Retro. This 'Sample' variant, a subtle evolution, echoes the original's commemorative intent, released in October 12, 2020.
Utility
Initially conceived for peak performance on the basketball court, the Air Jordan 3 'Seoul' Sample has transcended its athletic origins. While retaining its functional attributes, including ankle support and robust traction, its primary function has shifted. The shoe now serves as a highly sought-after lifestyle statement, embraced by sneakerheads, collectors, and those immersed in streetwear culture, seamlessly blending performance with high fashion.
Influence
The Air Jordan 3, and by extension, the 'Seoul' Sample, has cemented its place within the pantheon of influential footwear. Tinker Hatfield, the visionary designer of the Air Jordan 3, has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of sneaker design. The 'Seoul' iteration, bearing the influence of Dan Sunwoo, demonstrates the brand's ability to fuse global culture with iconic design. The Air Jordan 3 'Seoul' Sample’s limited release and unique detailing speak to its impact on the collecting community, with the shoe's aesthetic influencing trends far beyond its initial debut.
Construction
The 'Seoul' Sample maintains the core structural integrity of the Air Jordan 3. It features a mid-cut profile built with a premium tumbled leather upper, complemented by the iconic elephant print overlays on the toe and heel. The cushioning is provided by an encapsulated Air unit in the forefoot and a visible Air unit in the heel, all encased within a resilient polyurethane midsole. The outsole employs the classic herringbone traction pattern for optimal grip.
