The Air Jordan 3 Retro True Blue released again on November 17th 2001. This was the first Retro for the Jordan 3 True Blue, and sold well in stores. A general release, so at the time you could easily purchase the Air Jordan Retro III True Blues. They feature a white leather upper with elephant print at the heel, toe area and lacing tabs, which was uncommon.The blue trimmig and accents are really nice, and help add to the shoe's popularity. The Air Jordan 3 (III) was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield, who may actually be responsible for keeping Micheal at Nike, who back then was signed with them, but was planning to walk until he placed his eyes on the marvelous pair of shoes we call the Air Jordan 3 (III).
