Air Jordan 3 Retro Lucky Shorts
Buy at Nike
As one of the most pivotal models in the history of sneakers, the Air Jordan 3 continues to captivate both new and long-standing fans of the Jordan Brand. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, this model is credited with keeping Michael Jordan with Nike after his initial dissatisfaction with the Air Jordan 2. Heading into Spring 2025, Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 3 Retro in a fresh Summit White Hydrogen Blue colorway nicknamed Lucky Shorts.
This latest iteration of the Jordan 3 features a premium tumbled leather upper in summit white, maintaining the model's classic and luxurious feel. Inspiration for the design comes from the UNC shorts Michael Jordan wore underneath his Chicago Bulls uniform, a theme explored earlier with the Jordan Air Ship Every Game. Akin to an A Ma Maniere AJ3, this pair removes the elephant print in favor of a hairy suede on the mudguard and heel overlays.
For the rest of the upper, we see accenting hits of blue on the lower eyelets, the topmost eyelet, the Jumpman logo, and the collar. Inside, the tongue features a custom label that resembles the care tag old gym shorts. Underfoot sits a sail and blue midsole paired with a grey rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Lucky Shorts was released on February 22, 2025, and is available nowthrough Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. This model comes in full-family sizing, with men's retailing for $200, while the gradeschool, preschool, and toddler sizes are priced at $150, $90, and $75, respectively.
