Jordan Brand is getting the laser out of storage. One of the early draws of limited-edition retros at the turn of the 21st century, Jordan and Nike’s laser-etched colorways still stick out as some of Beaverton’s best work. Now, the lasers are back in action, carving all-over print branding across iconic silhouettes once again.

Laser Lifestyle

First seen on the feet of Jordan Brand athlete Jayson Tatum while he traversed Europe, the lasered Air Jordan 3 joins a two-pack return of laser-etched Jordan 4s and an Air Jordan 1 Low with all-over print graphics carved by light. Now, after getting a debut from Tatum, the shoe is ready to hit shelves in just a few weeks, and Jordan Brand is ready with detailed images of the pair.

Starting with coffee brown suede on the toe and heel instead of traditional elephant print, the brown shade reappears on the sockliner and perforated ankle collar. Featuring white leather with red Jumpman branding on the tongue, the entire upper is covered in Jordan graphics lasered out of the leather in more brown.
