Seasonal Sophistication Meets Heritage Design Details
The design is mostly chocolate brown, creating that warm fall vibe that's cozier than a campfire. The shoes are begging to be worn with a cable-knit cardigan or comfy fleece hoodie. The outsole is a slightly lighter shade of brown, like milk chocolate versus dark chocolate, maintaining the autumnal feel. This release actually comes with two sets of laces. The default is a delicate beige hue, and the second pair is a dusty light pink.
This colorway brings a softness to the classic AJ 3 silhouette. The AJ 3 Retro has always had a very sporty, modern feel. It's the kind of shoe that looks fab with a basketball uniform or athletic fit. The "Fireside" colorway looks good with sporty clothing, but it also easily lends itself to lounge looks and mellow autumn outfits. These look stunning with baggy jeans or black leggings, and look like they're meant to be worn with warm hues and cozy fabrics.
For fans of the OG AJ 3, don't worry. You still get the premium leather upper, lace wings and elephant print on the toe box. It just all takes on a quieter vibe with the all-over chocolate brown. Even the visible Air unit is more understated than usual, but it's still there! For this colorway, it's simply clear-colored. If you want an Air Jordan women's 3 Retro​ colorway that feels chic and sophisticated, this is it. The sneaker is ready to walk over crunchy leaves, meander around apple orchards and stop by pumpkin patches.
