Nike Air Jordan 3 (III)

The Air Jordan III was designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1988. This is the first Air Jordan to feature the air bubble unit and the famous cement print. You may also remember Spike Lee playing as "Mars Blackmon" in the commercials. The retail price was $100.00.

Before the Air Jordan III was made MJ was going to leave the company, and he said if he didn’t like the Air Jordan III he would leave Nike. Thanks to Tinker, MJ decided to stay with Nike once he saw the sample pair. Can you even imagine Jordan with another company?

Mike won the Slam Dunk contest and other awards the year he hooped in the Air Jordan III. Also, MJ said that the Air Jordan III was his favorite out of the current styles, and this is probably everyone’s favorite Jordan of all time.
