NBA legend Michael Jordan's iconic Air Jordan signature sneaker line often drops in classic Chicago Bulls or UNC Tar Heels colorways. However, Jordan Brand likes to dress its most popular shoes in seasonal hues.

Thanks to each of the silhouettes' iconic style and premium materials, the seasonal designs look incredibly fresh. Luckily for sneakerheads, it does not get much fresher than the Air Jordan 3 in the "Orange Citrus" colorway.

The Air Jordan 3 is not a performance basketball shoe anymore. However, it still offers all-day comfort and style. The leather upper is crisp and durable.

Meanwhile, the polyurethane midsole, exposed Air-Sole cushioning, and durable rubber outsole make these sneakers comfortable enough to wear at any function this spring. The Air Jordan 3 lets fans feel like the GOAT wherever they go this spring and summer.

Air Jordan 3 History

Jordan debuted the Air Jordan 3 during the 1987-88 NBA season. Thanks to Tinker Hatfield's visionary design, the model is widely credited as getting Jordan's signature sneaker line back on track after the Air Jordan 2 fell flat.
