Air Jordan 3 Retro – New York State of Mind, Court-Ready Heritage

Where Hardwood History Meets Street Icon Status.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro in the New York-inspired colorway is a tribute to one of basketball’s most iconic franchises and the city that defined sneaker culture. Blending the AJ3’s groundbreaking silhouette — the shoe that almost made Michael Jordan quit Nike — with a bold, city-coded palette, this is a pair that carries weight both on and off the court.

Key Features

• Premium tumbled leather and textile upper built on the original AJ3 tooling with the signature elephant print overlays at toe and heel for unmistakable texture contrast
• Visible Air unit in the heel — a first for the Jordan line when the 3 debuted in 1988 — delivering lightweight, low-profile cushioning with serious heritage credibility
• Midfoot plastic lace lock with the iconic Jumpman branding providing both a secure fit and the silhouette’s most recognizable design detail
• City-coded color blocking with a bold palette directly referencing New York basketball heritage, applied across the collar, midsole, and upper paneling
• Cement-textured midsole and outsole with full-length cushioning and durable rubber traction for on-court grip and everyday street wear durability

The Shoe That Changed Everything

The Air Jordan 3 is widely credited as the sneaker that saved the Jordan line — the design that convinced MJ to stay with Nike and introduced Tinker Hatfield’s genius to the world. The Retro brings that legacy back in a colorway built for the city that lives and breathes basketball. New York. Jordan. History.

Available in men’s sizes 7–12 and women’s sizes 5–10.
