Jordan 3 Retro

This Jordan 3 Retro supports the wearer in both comfort and style, making use of colourful accents and flexible materials to deliver a highly desirable sneaker. It is built upon a rubber outsole with a predominantly Cement Grey complexion and a Racer Blue pod beneath the forefoot. Concentric circles etched into this last part bring good grip alongside the various blocks and lines that augment the shoe’s traction across the rest of the outsole. A white section lies below the heel and the medial edge, and a set of Racer Blue Jordan text is embossed into its centre. Star-shaped nodes cap the toe, wrapping up to connect with a band of white rubber that surrounds the front of the midsole. The rest of this feature is made from sturdy polyurethane in two stacked layers. The lower one is completely white, with clear windows in its heel allowing observers to view the comfortable pocket of Air cushioning contained within. Meanwhile, the top layer begins with white on the medial side but switches to Racer Blue half way along, this vivid tone continuing all the way around to the lateral flank.

On the upper, white is the main colour. It covers the smooth leather mudguard and the tumbled leather overlay that encompasses everything from the forefoot through the quarter to the top of the collar. At this point, a pair of moulded blue eyelets in an hourglass shape rests on each side of the tongue to support the white laces in conjunction with the Cement Grey eyestay below it. White TPU half circles emerge from it to act as additional eyelets, and five Racer Blue ringlets have been pressed into the white leather either side of the bottom of the tongue to complete the shoe’s lacing options. Tiny perforations help to ventilate the Cement Grey sections on the flanks and the lower half of the tongue, with more marking the strip of Racer Blue leather that encircles the collar.

A plush grey material wraps around the inner walls, providing a cosy feeling to the ankles, and the white insole has been adorned with a Racer Blue Jumpman silhouette that matches the colour of the tongue’s underside. Another of these memorable logos has been embroidered into the white tongue, creating a strong tonal contrast that repeats on the large white heel panel. Thick ridges line this feature’s top half, allowing the wearer to firmly pull the shoe on, and Racer Blue Air text resides below the Jumpman rising out of its lower half in the same azure hue. Completing this fashionable sneaker is a pair of elephant-print panels, one on the toe, the other on the heel, both of them fusing Cement Grey with a darker shade of grey to forge this eye-catching pattern.
