In 2018, one of the biggest Jordan drops of the year was the Air Jordan 3 Tinker model, which was inspired by Tinker Hatfield's original sketches for the now infamous Jordan model. That particular colorway came in all over white leather with black and red accents throughout. This time around, the Tinker model is back, although this time it is coming in "University Red."

As you can see from the images, the shoe is mostly white but has red accents on the back heel, the tongue, and just above the midsole. While we have already shown you what these kicks will look like, we now have a look at one of the more interesting details of the shoe thanks to @zsneakerheadz. The Nike swoosh on the outside of the shoe will be interchangeable because they are attached via velcro. In the Instagram post below, there are some pictures of what that could look like.

If you're looking to cop these, they will be releasing via Quickstrike through the Nike SNKRS app on Saturday, March 30th for $200 USD. Considering its a Quickstrike release, you'll have to act fast in order to secure your pair.
