Key Features

- Elephant Print Overlays: The signature grey elephant print leather overlays on the toe and heel are the AJ3's most distinctive design detail — bold, textured, and instantly recognizable
- Premium Leather & Nubuck Upper: Rich leather and nubuck construction in navy and grey delivers a premium, multi-texture finish with exceptional durability

Where Jordan Met Tinker – And Changed Everything
The Air Jordan 3, released in 1988, was a turning point. It was the first shoe Michael Jordan almost didn't re-sign for — until Tinker Hatfield's revolutionary design convinced him to stay with Nike. The result was a sneaker that introduced the visible Air unit, the elephant print, and the Jumpman logo all in one release. The 'Georgetown' colorway pays tribute to the college basketball program that helped shape the era Jordan dominated.
Hoya pride. Jordan legacy. The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Georgetown' is where college basketball history meets sneaker royalty.
