The last occasions that the sneaker community saw the “Fire Red” hit shelves were back 1988, 20 (each iteration of which is pictured above) but there were distinguishable differences from the OG in those pairs’ quality, materials, shape and packaging. The kicks also come with a printed paper card that shows all of the Air Jordan 3’s tech specs, a salute to the original pairs that were accompanied by the exact same accessory. An adjustment to point out is that instead of the Jumpman logo that appeared on the lid of the previous launches, this box features the Nike Air logo. The original Air Jordan 3 packaging is being brought back to the table with its black lid and cement-patterned lower half. The same effect goes for Jordan retros that are styled in Chicago Bulls colors.ĭetails on the shoe box are also definitely worth mentioning. Ferraris still look good when fitted in different colors, but when the Italian sports car is dressed in all-red, it’s a bonafide chef’s kiss.
Buying Jordans is like copping a Ferrari. The overall Chicago-inspired color scheme is always just an element to appreciate in and of itself. From there, the titular accents take center stage as they ornament the eyelets, Jumpman logos, midsoles and the Nike Air branding parked on the heels that Jordan purists have been longing for. The tumbled leather uppers are given a matted white finish and come complemented by dark gray elephant-printed overlays, the latter of which arrive with thinner design lines more akin to its ‘88 version.
