One of Michael Jordan's best shoes would have to be the Air Jordan 3. Overall, this is a shoe that burst onto the scene in 1988. It was designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, who subsequently went on to design over a dozen Air Jordan silhouettes. At this point, the history behind the Jordan 3 is well known. However, new colorways are always being revealed to the public. Additionally, there are always new Player Exclusives being created. Needless to say, this is a shoe that will simply never die, no matter what.
Russell Westbrook is a player who has always shown appreciation to the Air Jordan 3. Prior to receiving his own signature shoe, Westbrook used to wear this model. He had quite a few PEs back in the fay. Moreover, a lot of these were made to reflect the team he was playing for at the time. Of course, this was the Oklahoma City Thunder who are known for their blue and orange color schemes. That said, it would only make sense that his Jordan 3 PEs would reflect this iconic aesthetic.
Russ' Air Jordan 3
Recently, thanks to the Instagram sneaker insider @zsneakerheadz, and Instagram account @carter1203, we have some resurfaced images of Russ' Air Jodan 3 PE from 2018. In fact, this shoe was called "Mr. Triple Double," which makes a whole lot of sense given Westbrook's main skillset. As for the colorway itself, it has everything you would expect from a Thunder scheme. Firstly, the shoe is covered in white leather. Secondly, there is blue and orange all the way throughout. Russ has his logo on the tongue, and "Why Not" is written on the midsole. Overall, it is a shoe that speaks to Westbrook and his personality.
This is a Players Exclusive which means this is a shoe that will never be released to the general public. However, with photos like these, we can still fantasize about what could have been. As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on this Air Jordan 3, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.
