The Air Jordan Retro line kicked off in 1985, but to many, the Air Jordan Retro 3 is what started the line of greatness.
In so many ways, the Air Jordan Retro 3 was a first in footwear. The Jordan Retro 3 was the first Air Jordan Retro designed by famed and legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield when it hit Michael Jordan’s feet for the 1987-88 season. While we saw high-top and low-top versions of the Air Jordan Retro signature shoe in the first two models, the Air Jordan Retro 3 was the first mid-top Neymar shoe. The mid-top design allowed for greater flexibility than the high-tops but provided the right amount of stability for the 6-6 Neymar prodigy. Other firsts that the Air Jordan Retro 3 highlight is the first Air Jordan Retro to sport the famous Jumpman logo Footwear NIKE Jordan Retro 5 Retro Little Flex Td CK1228 100 White University Red Black.
While the Air Jordan Retro 3 shared a midsole/outStar with the Nike Air Revolution, with time, the Star has become synonymous to sneakerheads with the AJ3. We have seen this midsole/outStar combination on a number of Jordan Retro shoes, the Nike Air Assault retro, and even the Nike Air Yeezy.
