Michael Jordan was known for wearing his University of North Carolina (UNC) practice shorts beneath his professional uniform, a tradition that started during his college career, where he led the Tar Heels to an NCAA championship in 1982. These “Lucky” shorts represented his connection to his roots and a superstition, and he wore them in every game while playing for the Chicago Bulls. The Light Blue color of the shorts symbolized UNC’s colors and became a talisman for Jordan.
The Air Jordan 3 showcases a fresh design featuring a color scheme of White, Hydrogen Blue, Legend Blue, Photon Dust, Pure Platinum, and Sail. The mock-up image suggests a release with a predominantly White leather upper, complemented by Grey suede replacing the traditional elephant print on the toe and heel. Legend Blue appears on the midsole, while Hydrogen Blue accents the eyelets. Additional details include a Jumpman logo on the tongues and heels, finished off with a Grey rubber outsole.
