Sneakers Release : Air Jordan Retro 3 “Knicks”

Sep 18, 2019

Some say that New York City is the greatest place on Earth. Others claim that Jordan sneakers are the best basketball shoes of all time. Find a combination of these two cultural juggernauts with the Air Jordan Retro 3 “Knicks” basketball shoes in the White and Royal colorway at Hibbett Sports.

Steeped in History

The year 1988 was a pivotal one for the Jordan catalog and for the man himself. Nike designer Tinker Hatfield made the decision to ditch the “Wings” logo and replace it with the iconic Jumpman that’s become synonymous with MJ’s brand.

Just after that, MJ entered the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest and went toe to toe with power dunker Dominique Wilkins. On that night, His Airness took flight from the free-throw line, legs flared, and jacked home the contest-winning dunk while rocking pair of 3s. That iconic image gave birth to the Jumpman logo.

Featuring a White and Royal colorway, these shoes originally marked the beginning of the cross-training category for footwear. The Air Jordan 3s come equipped with lightweight, visible cushioning that mirrors the comfortable fit of the original. Their genuine and synthetic leather uppers are extremely durable, while signature and stylish details are sure to have you turning heads.

The Jordan 3s also come with a visible Air-Sole unit in the heel, along with an encapsulated forefoot unit — both of which offer lightweight cushioning and comfort. The basketball shoe also offers an external heel counter, plush foam midsole and a rubber outsole with a circular traction pattern. All these little details add up to comfortable support and plenty of stability on any surface.
