To celebrate, they released a World’s Fair collection with Asics, which included four colourways of the Gel-Lyte III model.

Air Jordan 3 Retro OG SP “Seoul 2.0” Review
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!
