So, you do know that behind every shoe, there’s a story right? Well, there is nothing different about this shoe. So it goes, the designers of the first two Air Jordans were trying to get his Airness to jump off of the Nike ship. He was thinking about it, but thought it was still necessary to see what the new designer, Tinker Hatfield had in mind for the Air Jordan III. After waiting for his Airness for four hours on the day they design was to be revealed, he was finally about to get his chance. Michael thought it was going to be an in and out process, thinking that he was going on his own way, but then he aw….HEAVEN! It was mid-cut, and featured elephant skinned wrinkled leather. It was the first in his line to have his own Jumpman logo on it. It was love at first sight!
