Air Jordan 3 Retro Medium Olive Mens Lifestyle Shoes (Medium Olive/Sequoia/Neutral Olive/Sail/Total Crimson)

The Air Jordan 3 Retro stands as a watershed moment in sneaker culture—the first collaboration between Michael Jordan and designer Peter Moore that introduced the now-iconic elephant print paneling and cement pattern. This lifestyle iteration maintains the DNA of that 1988 original while softening the palette into a Medium Olive base that reads equally at home in the gym or on the street. The three-strap system, visible Air unit, and Jordan Wings logo remain unmistakable markers of the silhouette's lineage, making it instantly recognizable across generations.

Constructed with a leather upper that balances durability with a refined aesthetic, the Jordan 3 employs Nike's Phylon midsole cushioning paired with a herringbone-pattern outsole designed for court traction. The elephant print overlays on the toe and heel provide textural contrast while nodding to the shoe's basketball origins. The Sequoia and Neutral Olive accents, paired with crisp Sail and hits of Total Crimson, create a colorway that works within earth-tone versatility—a palette that's increasingly relevant as contemporary streetwear gravitates toward organic, muted hues.

This particular palette leans into the Jordan 3's ability to function as a lifestyle piece without sacrificing its athletic credibility. Medium Olive pairs seamlessly with vintage-washed denim, khaki cargo, and neutral layering, while the Crimson hits provide just enough visual interest to prevent the silhouette from fading into the background. The colorway respects the shoe's heritage while avoiding the oversaturation of classic red-and-black re-releases.

At $169.98—a 20% reduction from the $215 original retail—this represents fair value for a retro Jordan 3 with genuine design heritage. The price drops automatically at Shoepalace with no promo code required. Jordan 3 Retros typically hold their value in the resale market, and at this discount, the entry point justifies both immediate wear and long-term collection viability. Standard Nike sizing applies; Jordan 3s run true to size with a slightly roomier toe box than modern Air Jordan models.
