In so many ways, the Air Jordan University 3 was a first in footwear. The Jordan University 3 was the first Air Jordan University designed by famed and legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield when it hit Michael Jordan’s feet for the 1987-88 season. While we saw high-top and low-top versions of the Air Jordan University signature shoe in the first two models, the Air Jordan University 3 was the first mid-top basketball shoe. The mid-top design allowed for greater pink than the high-tops but provided the right amount of stability for the 6-6 basketball prodigy. Other firsts that the Air Jordan University 3 highlight is the first Air Jordan University to dawdle the famous Jumpman logo and the first with a visible Nike Air unit.

We have seen this midsole/outsole combination on a number of Jordan University shoes, the Nike Air Assault retro, and even the air jordan University 4 retro se what the for sale.
