Jordan Brand And The Air Jordan 3 “Katrina” Give Back To The New Orleans Community

The legend of the Air Jordan 3 in this white/red color combo may be tied to the brand’s charitable donation for the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in 2006, but it actually started in 2003 as one of Derek Anderson’s special Player Exclusives. That specific colorway of the Air Jordan 3 went on to be part of a special “Become Legendary” display at the Naismith Hall Of Fame which showcased Air Jordan models in original colorways, but the fact that this white/red wasn’t in fact born in 1988 added to its mystique. In 2018, Jordan Brand will finally release this Retro shoe on May 12th, and they’re bringing it back to the New Orleans community by awarding 10 scholarships through the Jordan Wings program to graduating high-school seniors. See below for Jordan Brand’s official imagery of the shoe and stay tuned for the global drop on May 12th.
