The shade of sporty blue will always be closely associated with the historic legacy of Air Jordan. While the shade fits neither Michael Jordan’s threads at UNC or Chicago, it’s been part of the origin story of Air Jordan footwear with the Air Jordan 1 and beyond. Specifically with the Air Jordan 3, the “True Blue” established the hue as one of the most significant in the Jordan annals, which is why new concoctions like the Air Jordan 3 “Racer Blue” just seem to make sense. Arriving at retailers on July 10th, 2021 is the “Racer Blue” Jordan 3s, complete with white tumbled leather uppers, grey accents, and a new style of elephant print on the toe-box and heel that is said to be reflective. Further separating itself from the OGs is the Jumpman logo on the heel (Nike Air is clearly reserved for the originals, special editions, and collaborations).
