February and March are set to be big months for Nike fans as the company releases more details on upcoming colorways of the Air Jordan III. The classic silhouette is seeing new colors and designs reminiscent of the sneaker’s original sketches.
About the Air Jordan III
Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan III was the first pair of Air Jordans to sport a visible airbag in the sole. Original sketches contained the iconic Nike swoosh along the side, but that was scrapped for a more straightforward design. The original sneaker’s elephant print design helped it stand out from past Air Jordan releases.

If you blinked, you might’ve missed the ‘JTH’ colorway that dropped during Super Bowl 52. Performing during the half-time show in his custom Stella McCartney suit, Justin Timberlake also appeared to be wearing a yet-to-be-released colorway. The quickly sold-out Air Jordan III JTH includes a large white Nike Swoosh on the side in white.
The surprise release had a lot of would-be fans missing out, but pairs have already begun popping up on resale markets.
