The Air Jordan 3 « Wings » is a testament to Jordan Brand’s commitment to empowering future generations through education. This latest iteration of the iconic silhouette masterfully blends the timeless « White/Cement » colorway with poetic rose-themed elements, creating a sneaker that is not only eye-catching, but also carries a profound message of hope and resilience.
Official images reveal a pristine white leather upper complemented by the classic gray-on-black elephant print adorning the toebox and heel. The red Jumpman logo embroidered prominently on the tongue adds a striking contrast to the overall design. What sets this Air Jordan 3 apart is the intricate floral pattern on the mudguard, lace collar and ankle, featuring faded images of rose stems on a patterned canvas.
The rose motif extends beyond the upper, with images of the flower gracefully placed beneath the translucent Nike Air heel plate. This subtle yet powerful detail serves as a constant reminder of the deeper purpose of the shoe. Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of the Air Jordan 3 « Wings » is hidden behind the tongues, where a motivational message reads, « Up, rose – I too have thorns. » These words embody the resilience and strength that the WINGS program seeks to instill in the students it serves.
The Air Jordan 3 « Wings » will be released on July 30th with a retail price of $210.
