Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan debuted the Air Jordan 3 during the 1987-88 NBA season. The old-school basketball shoe is no longer considered a performance model, but it still features the same technology that helped the GOAT take over the league early in his career.

The polyurethane midsole, exposed Air-Sole cushioning, and durable rubber outsole make these sneakers comfortable enough to wear at any function this spring.
