History of the Air Jordan 3
Released in 1988, the Jordan 3 marked a turning point in the history of sneakers and basketball. It was the first Air Jordan to feature the now-famous Jumpman logo. Designed by Tinker Hatfield , this iconic shoe combines a bold design, visible Air technology in the heel, and the signature elephant print.
Originally conceived for NBA courts but adopted everywhere, from the street to the catwalk, it won over audiences thanks to an advertising campaign that became iconic. The slogan “Hey Mike, get off the court!” perfectly captured the brand's energy at that time.
Today, the Air Jordan 3 Retro versions perpetuate this legacy. Faithful to the original models, they are among the most sought-after products in the Air Jordan collection , both in France and elsewhere. Each release is an event, and each pair a legendary piece, coveted by players , dunking fans, and urban fashion enthusiasts. They are a must-have in any self-respecting sneaker rotation.

How to care for your Jordan 3
With proper care, a pair of shoes will last for years and increase in value: use a soft brush with lukewarm water and mild soap to clean them, spray them with a waterproofing spray before the first outing, let them air dry away from heat sources, and store them in a box, ideally with tissue paper. For indoor use, consider replacing the soles every 2–3 years.
