Nike’s Air Jordan 3 "Oreo" shoes come clad in off-white and black tones
The Air Jordan 3 is one of the most iconic sneakers in the history of basketball and fashion. It was the first Jordan model to feature the Jumpman logo, the visible Air unit, and the elephant print. Since its debut in 1988, the Air Jordan 3 has been reimagined in various colorways and materials, but none more striking than the upcoming AJ 3 Oreo.
On its official website, the shoe brand highlights the history of its third trademark shoe, noting:
“With MJ's second slam dunk contest win this time wearing AJ Ill White Cements, came an inspiring and memorable image of flight. And with it, another icon is born- the Jumpman. Here, and with the help of his MVP nomination and a certain Mars Blackmon, Michael Jordan and his sleek footwear are shuttled to fame.”
The description further states,
“What is now one of the sneaker world's most notable silhouettes was brought to life with an architect's keen eye. Tinker Hatfield, the auspicious name behind much of the Air Jordan franchise, was the visionary behind this classic. At the request of MJ, Hatfield developed the now iconic elephant print.”
The Air Jordan 3 Oreo features a suede upper in Off Noir, a dark shade of black that contrasts with the Coconut Milk and Cement Grey accents. The sneaker has perforated details around the ankle and eyestay, adding some texture and breathability to the design. The elephant print overlays on the toe and heel are also in Cement Grey, giving the sneaker a classic touch.
The midsole of the shoe is two-toned, with a black section at the forefoot and a Coconut Milk section at the heel counter. Meanwhile, the visible Air unit provides cushioning and comfort for the wearer. The outsole is also of Coconut Milk color, with a black Jumpman logo at the center.
The tongue of the pair has a black Jumpman logo embroidered on it, while the heel has a black Nike Air logo stamped on it. The sneaker also comes with black laces and a black sockliner. The overall look of the Oreo variant is sleek and sophisticated, with a hint of retro flair.
The Air Jordan 3 Oreo is a must-have for any sneaker lover, especially those who appreciate the legacy of the Air Jordan 3. The colorway is expected to sell out fast, so be sure to mark your calendars and stay tuned for more updates.
