The Air Jordan 3 Retro from 1994 first hit stores that year as part of a retro run that also spanned the 1 and 2, celebrating Michael Jordan’s legacy in the wake of his first retirement in 1993. The 3 marked several significant firsts in the Air Jordan timeline—it was the first to feature the Jumpman logo, the first to feature visible Air and the first to feature elephant print, created by Tinker Hatfield at the behest of Jordan himself. This Black/Cement tries to recreated the original from 1988, complete with elephant print and NIKE AIR on the heel.
