The Air Jordan 3 writes history as the first Jordans designed by the world-famous sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield. Released back in 1988, it was the first mid-top Air Jordan. They provided greater flexibility than the high-tops and more stability than their low-top. The Air Jordan 3 is widely characterized as the Jordan sneaker often coming with elephant print. The print can be seen on huge successes as "Black Cement", "White Cement", "True Blue" and many more. Additionally, the AJ3 welcomed the first appearance of the iconic Jumpman logo placed the tongue of the shoe.
