The perfect blend of sophistication and style, the Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement’ first hit the shelves in 1988, and instantly became legendary in its own right. It was a revolutionary footwear that only amplified the aura of a young Mike entering his peak. It was witness to many of MJ’s firsts - including his first MVP title, 40-point All-Star Game performance in Windy City, first Defensive Player of the Year award, and the first-ever sneaker to adorn his own Jumpman logo.
From the soft full-grain leather upper to its mid-cut height to the visible Air unit in the heel and even the elephant print that would eventually become one of the most iconic elements in Jumpman’s lineage, it set a bold standard in tech and style that resonates even to this day.
Since then ’til now. This is Money - and you still gotta have it.
