The Air Jordan 3 Retro Flip: Tribute to a legend with a twist
In 1988, while wearing the original Air Jordan III, Mike earned his second dunk title, locked down league MVP and was named Defensive Player of the Year. The Air Jordan 3 Retro Flip Men's Shoe celebrates these inspiring moments and the hero who created them.
Benefits

- Nike Air units for cushioning and impact protection
- Tough external heel counter for excellent support
- Cushy foam midsole for a plush feel
- Rubber outsole with circular traction pattern for grip on a variety of surfaces
Signature Details
The Air Jordan III redefined the concept of signature shoes. The original was the first Jordan shoe to feature the iconic elephant print and Jumpman logo that fans have come to know and expect, as well as the first to boast visible Nike Air. This version of the legendary shoe switches things around by adding sleek patent-leather trim and making the elephant print the main feature at the upper.
Cushioning
In the forefoot of the Air Jordan 3 Retro Flip Men's Shoe, trademark Nike Air pressurised air inside a tough yet flexible bag offers lightweight cushioning and comfort. And in the heel, a visible Nike Air unit retains maximum air volume for excellent impact protection while walking, running or shooting hoops on the blacktop.
Origins
Since his game-winning shot that brought the National Championship to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, setting a new standard for performance and style, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Ever evolving, ever at the pinnacle of imagination, the Air Jordan line is the ultimate in basketball footwear.
