30th anniversary marks a relatively special year for the Air Jordan 3 silhouette, as Jordan Brand looks to adapting the model for the future. Tinker Hatfield’s original design gets a completely new makeover with Flyknit instead of traditional leather, and have gone tho great lengths to replicate textures of the original through a painstaking process.
You see, as Flyknit is practically a one piece design, it isn’t really cost effective nor efficient to mimick different layer types onto the silhouette, hence we see models like the Flyknit Racer and Flyknit trainer, even the new Epic React having a very sleek design. However, in an effort to retain what made the Jordan 3 so appealing, 3 different pattern types were adapted onto the silhouette by using intricate patterns in the knit, accentuating the iconic elephant print, smooth leather and tumbled leather of the original.
The flyknit AJ3 debuts in a stealthy colourway, featuring an all-black upper, gloss midsole, and icy outsole that glows in the dark, finished with a black hangtag. The Jordan brand logo makes itself present on the heel counter, rounding off a silhouette that is definitely ‘more than meets the eye.’ Or if this isn’t in your favour, the Air Jordan 3 Katrina is also getting a restock soon.
The Air Jordan 3 Flyknit will release on Nike.com on the 28th of August, at 9AM for approximately RM 821.
