Michael Jordan's Iconic Air Jordan 3 Gets a Pastel Makeover for Spring
As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, it's clear that spring is in the air. And what better way to embrace the season than with a fresh take on a classic? Nike's Jordan Brand is ready to celebrate the arrival of spring with a new release of Michael Jordan's iconic Air Jordan 3. This retro shoe, first released in 1988, is a fan favorite and a true legend in the world of sneakers.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG 'Spring Is in the Air' is a stunning sight, featuring a pastel-covered color combination of Sail/Jade Aura/Aura/Iced Carmine/Muslin/Iris Whisper. Imagine an off-white leather upper, delicately accented with light shades of green, blue, purple, and pink, creating a vibrant yet subtle palette. The creamy pre-yellowed midsole adds a touch of warmth to the overall design.
What's unique about this release is that it's not just for women; it's available in full family sizing, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the pastel charm. The shoe also boasts the iconic OG-style Nike Air heel branding, a detail that was once exclusive to the original colorways but is now making its way onto newer styles.
Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 3 introduced the world to the Jumpman logo and the exotic elephant print, which has become a signature feature on the heel and toe. This design not only made a lasting impression but also played a pivotal role in keeping Michael Jordan with Nike, as he briefly considered switching to Adidas after the Air Jordan 2.
The Air Jordan 3 OG 'Spring Is in the Air' will be released on March 28th, retailing for $215 through Nike's Snkrs app and select Jordan Brand retailers. With the style code IF4396-100, this release is a must-have for any sneaker enthusiast, offering a fresh and colorful take on a timeless classic.
