4) Air Jordan 3 'JTH' White Cement
The collaborative Justin Timberlake's x Air Jordan 3 silhouette was revealed by the singer at the 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The silhouette was also made in collaboration with Nike designer Tinker Hatfield just for the occasion. In an official press release, Justin Timberlake commented on the silhouette:
""I grew up idolizing Mike, and ever since we met, he and I have always had a great relationship. Working together with his team to make shoes that we love was always something we wanted to do. So when we had success with the ‘Legends,’ we knew we would have to find another great moment to do that again."
The shoe was released in limited pieces on the official e-commerce site of Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers in February 2018. Currently, they can be availed at reseller sites such as StockX for $1100.

The Air Jordan 3 JTH "Beige" colorway comes clad in a woodsy image, which was released to promote his Man of the Woods album. The silhouette's upper is constructed out of rugged fabrics and the details of the sneakers tap into the album's theme.
In an official press release, Timberlake commented on the sneakers:
“The album’s premise was really about making things in a handmade and artisanal way. The same way the album is filled with live instrumentation, we wanted the shoe to have the same feeling of being premium and made by hand."
The shoe's upper features mellow suede and leather laces. The word "Higher" features over the medial walls. The silhouette was released to the general public via Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers on August 28, 2018.
