The Air Jordan 3 is an uncontested champion in the Jordan Brand legacy, nearing the influence of the AJ1 or further entries, but as part of the umbrella’s All-Star Weekend festivities, it leads the charge in terms of Chicago pride as it marks with a city-exclusive change to its heritage make-up. Along the design, the pair plays on past conventions in the silhouette’s colorway lexicon, using a Elephant print as a recognizable backdrop while then topping its tumbled leathers with a more vibrant red tone — a shade that’s not too far off from DJ Khaled’s collaboration from years prior. Elsewhere, the release, as per its limited quantity, adds on something a little more special in commemoration: a heel emblem of “Nike CHI” instead of the “Nike Air” seen on the GR variant as well as display of all of the 8×8 colors on the insole. Grab a detailed look at these here and expect a hyper local release come February 15th.
UPDATE (2/19/2020):
It looks like the Air Jordan 3 “UNITE” with the “Nike CHI” branding is no longer a Chicago exclusive. Pairs are set to go live at Nike.com come February 22nd at 10:00am ET.
