ÿþOn the Jordan 3 black week that will lead up to the return of the Air Jordan 1 Royal, Nike has unveiled the background story/inspiration behind this highly anticipated pair of kicks.Here s how the story goes according to Nike.On a cold, crisp morning in 1985, famed sports photographer Chuck Kuhn stepped onto a remote Oregon airstrip to shoot a rising basketball star Michael Jordan. Rather than wear his team s iconic red and black, Jordan chose his personal favorite colors: royal blue and black. The shoe he wore that day, the Air Jordan I black/royal, was the first AJ I offered for purchase to the public.

In addition to the Air Jordan 1 Low OG Premium in black, the sneaker is also rendered in a Jordan 3 black cement more vibrant option of ice blue for Spring 2017.The defining hue simply covers its textured suede/leather upper, while vachetta tan leather accents are implemented on the tongue and heel tab to essentially exude a lifestyle variation of the classic silhouette.Finishing Jordan 3 cement details include matching blue laces and a crisp white full-length rubber sole unit.Priced at $140, you can purchase this premium pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, although, more retailers nationwide will have it available by April 1.Images: Titolo Available Now on Kixify & eBay
