Jordan Retro 3

The Men's Air Jordan 3 Retro is one of the most beloved sneakers of all time. Almost any Air Jordan connoisseur will rank the Jordan 3 among their top five favorite models of the entire line. It's truly one of the most iconic sneakers ever created, and a big reason sneaker culture exists as we know it today. Originally released in 1988, the Air Jordan 3 was designed by Tinker Hatfield, the legendary sneaker designer responsible for many of the greatest Nike and Air Jordan models throughout the years. As the story goes, Michael Jordan was actually considering leaving Nike when his original contract expired, but when he saw Hatfield's design for his third, he wisely knew that the shoe was something special and decided to renew with the brand. The bold design featuring elephant-print paneling for an exotic and stylish look was like nothing anyone had ever seen on the basketball court before, and the Jordan 3 quickly became a style icon on the streets. All these years later, the third Air Jordan is still considered one of the most fashionable retro basketball sneakers on the planet.
