The Jordan Brand Rare Air series continues with the release of these Air Jordan 3s. Inspired by samples and prototypes that don’t make the cut, these are share similarities to the “Black Cement” Air Jordan 3 but incorporate purposely placed “imperfections” like a flipped back tab, and suede instead of elephant print. Check out my review and to hear my thoughts on this unique spin on a classic!
The sequel pair to the 2018 release, Jordan Brand is back with another pair of Air Jordan 3s that pay homage to the South Korean capital – Seoul. This version opts for more cream tones, as opposed to the pure white on the OG, resulting in a more aged appearance. However, the signature red, blue and black tones remain which stay true to the home of the 1988 Olympics. Check out my review for a detailed look and review!
A Ma Maniere is back with their third take on the iconic Air Jordan 3 silhouette. This “For The Love” colourway features a tumbled white leather upper, and replaces the traditional elephant print with shaggy suede instead. Keeping with the tradition, a quilted liner and insole are also featured, making this a wearable, high quality and simple colourway. Check out my review for an in-depth look!
Michael Jordan’s superstitious beliefs led him to rock his North Carolina training shorts under his Bulls shorts during NBA games. This Air Jordan 3 pays homage to that with a UNC-inspired colourway. Soft genuine leather and suedes adorn the upper while pops of blue let the shoe stand out. Check out my review of these beauties and drop a comment below!
First released in 2007, the “Black Cat” Air Jordan 3 has finally returned.

Given the popularity of the “Black Cat” 4s, it’ll be interesting to see how these fare in today’s sneaker climate! Is anyone picking these up?
