This seasonal take uses a combination of materials and color choices to apply a new twist to the silhouette. Some highlights include reflective silver underlays, a burnished leather Wings logo, two-toned dyed laces, and exposed stitching throughout the genuine nubuck leather upper. While the shoe included Flywire throughout the upper, its most important feature was in its FlyEase edition, featuring an easy-on, easy-off entry system through the heel counter and doing away with laces. It was an innovative fit solution that LeBron loved, says Petrie. Above this layer sits exposed elements of the Nike FitAdapt lacing system. The technology, which is run from a midfoot motor, is controlled by a multi-faceted Nike Adapt app. Applying a familiar Pine Green and color-blocking scheme, this Air Jordan III Retro comes with a subtle material twist. The shoe features genuine nubuck leather throughout the upper, tongue, collar and eye stays, and a 3D embroidered Jumpman logo on the tongue. The titular Fire Red, then, accents the collar, midsole, Nike Off White and eyelets, while grey neutrals and the signature cement print dress the rest of the eye stays and the toe counter, respectively. According to newly surfaced information, the Air Jordan 3 Fire Red 2022 is currently slated to release on August 6th. 2022, though, seems to be a return to form, as Jordan Brand alone has more than plenty of releases to look forward to. The Air Jordan 4 Infrared is just one of many, and it's currently set to drop later this May.

NIKE AIR branding on the tongue has commonly been replaced with Jumpman logos, while the line's wings insignia has moved to the lower heel from the ankle tab. The double-strap returned, while Zoom Air was the cushioning set-up in the heel and forefoot. I came out to my best friend at the mall, which is so random - it's the little things. The Air Jordan XXXVI cushioning set-up is the most Zoom Air coverage that Jordan Brand has put into a signature shoe. Modifications both minor and extensive have given the Air Jordan 1 some Nike x Off-White fresh new identity, and the most recent exploration into the platformed Elevate trim has shown plenty of promise for its adherence to the OG design and selective colorways. The overlays Swoosh included are suited up in black, its leathers smooth all through the profile. All of it was built around giving LeBron lockdown, so we created a shoe completely based around it, giving him this totally protected, contained force for his feet. But this year, things are looking up for the silhouette, as it recently collaborated with athlete Rui Hachimura and will soon see a brand new, Taxi-themed women's exclusive. It debuted in 1996 and released throughout the 1996-1997 NBA season. Despite launching in 1985 at the inception of the Air Jordan line, the sneaker has since largely deviated from its original design. Pops of the titular purple, then, accent the collar, eyelets, branding, and midsole, brightening up a palette that's otherwise brimming with neutral fixtures.
