What made this seasonal shoe special to some fans is probably what turned off others. The silhouette sports a Sail leather upper with Jade Aura and Iris Whisper details. The "Nike Air" branding pops off the heels in Iced Carmine.

Meanwhile, the legendary elephant print on the mudguard appears in Jade Aura. The outsole completes the spring aesthetic with a full bloom of green, blue, pink, and sail. Overall, the color scheme looks like a bouquet, sweet enough to wear to any family function.

Air Jordan 3 Design

The Air Jordan 3 is no longer considered a performance basketball shoe. It has transcended the hardwood to become a staple among sneakerheads around the world. However, it does still feature the same design that helped Jordan take flight early in his career.

The genuine and synthetic leathers offer a durable, timeless look. Air Sole units in the heel and forefoot, inside a soft foam midsole, offer all-day comfort. Lastly, the rubber outsole provides durability and traction.

Air Jordan 3 Heritage

Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan debuted his third signature sneaker during the 1987-88 NBA season. The Bulls did not win an NBA Championship that year, but Jordan did secure MVP and Defensive Player of the Year honors. That standout season, combined with the Air Jordan 3, took his sneaker line to new heights.

Spring is in the rearview mirror, but the shoes will always remind us of bright days and fresh flowers. Fans should try to buy a pair at a discount before they're gone forever. Stay locked into Sports Illustrated's Kicks On SI for all your footwear news from the NBA and beyond.
