Jordan 3 trainers & shoes: footwear that continues a legacy
For many, Air Jordan 3 shoes are the gold standard of basketball trainers. Launched in 1988, they were the first Jordan shoes to have the image of Michael Jordan in mid-flight on the tongue. The iconic Jumpman logo has appeared on every iteration since. Air Jordan 3 trainers also introduced another design classic—visible Nike Air units in the heels.
Original Air Jordan 3 shoes may be collectors' items, but we've got you covered for practical wear. Our retro iterations stay true to the Air Jordan legacy. We've reinvented the iconic 80s high top design in fresh colour palettes and with modern comfort upgrades. Think full-length soft foam midsoles for lightweight cushioning, plus thinner padding for a streamlined, slimmer fit. When it comes to Jordan 3 shoes, these throwbacks are still fresh. You'll find modern Nike Air technology in all our Air Jordan 3 trainers, helping to absorb impact and cushion every jump and stride. Meanwhile, rubber outsoles provide traction you can count on, even when changing direction mid-flow.
Looking for structure and durability? We use a mix of quality real and synthetic leather in the uppers of our Jordan 3 trainers to give you just that. Want to make a statement? Choose options with suede overlays and metallic accents. And we never forget our youngest athletes—our heritage designs come in kids' sizes, too, from toddlers to teens. Look for classic laces in our styles for older kids, or elastic, no-tie laces on our toddler trainers for speedy dressing.
Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose Jordan 3 trainers with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
