Jordan Brand and Nike are making a list, checking it twice, and your stats aren’t looking so good. Instead of hyping up Santa, mistletoe, ornaments, and the sugar cookie side of Christmas morning, Beaverton is bringing out the Holiday’s harsh side, setting up a mantel full of stockings stuffed with coal.

Santa’s Dark Side

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Not Nice is the latest pair from Santa’s bad side, adding a Krampus-friendly coat of weathered brown leather to the top section of the upper. The toe and heel bumper start with red and black cracked elephant print, before switching to black nubuck on the lower section of the upper.

The beat-up brown leather covers most of the shoe, like a baseball glove found in the basement. A bit of black brings some contrast to the lace panel, laces, and eyelets, with black and red on the Jumpman tongue logo to match the elephant print. A wooden shade of brown is added to the midsole, with black on the outsole and sockliner. The insoles bring the theme into clear view, with “Checked it Twice” written in Old English font beneath a red Jumpman and a list of opponents Jordan faced during his illustrious career.
