Premium materials mix with exotic graphics to bring this Jordan 3 Retro a compelling appearance, while its rich tonal makeup has seen it called Georgetown for its use of the college basketball team’s colors. These can be found on the shoe’s outsole, whose forefoot combines Cement Grey around its broad edge and Midnight Navy on the oval-shaped section in the middle. The latter piece has circular grip indentations, and the toe is lined with embossed stars, while the rest of the Cement Grey areas, which include the lateral edge and the rear of the heel, have more blocky tread patterns. With these delivering comprehensive traction underfoot, a smooth white area in the center and medial parts of the heel supplies an intriguing aesthetic touch with its embossed Midnight Navy Jordan text.

Adding comfort to the grip provided by the outsole is a mostly white midsole made of lightweight polyurethane. The only exception to this coloration appears on the top rear half of the feature, which comes in deep blue Midnight Navy. Just below this, a see-through window has been placed in the heel to allow the wearer to view the soft Air cushioning inside. With this taking care of the wearer’s comfort, the upper establishes a bold aesthetic, firstly with the Midnight Navy tumbled leather that forms its main portion.

The smooth leather mudguard brings a textural contrast if not a tonal one as it also appears in dark blue. Then, at either end of the sneaker, distinctive elephant-print overlays can be found, the one encircling the toe overlapping part of the mudguard, the one on the heel arcing upwards over the sides of the upper before looping back down as it continues around the back of the foot. Here, it makes room for the cone-shaped Midnight Navy heel panel, whose top half is marked with embossed lines so it can be easily gripped and whose bottom half displays embossed Jumpman Air branding in white.

Internally, the shoe exhibits the same winning combination of colors, with Midnight Navy on the back of the tongue and the insole, Cement Grey on the softly padded lining and white on the Jumpman printed onto the sockliner. Back on the outer, the fine tumbled leather of the upper recedes in places to uncover an underlayer made of Cement Grey leather and filled with tiny perforations. These areas appear around the collar and the top part of the eyestay, while the bottom half of the tongue has the same construction. Pristine white laces tie up over this last feature, moving through several different kinds of eyelet as they go. At the lower end, they thread in and out of Cement Grey ringlets set into the blue leather overlay. Then they proceed upwards into the Midnight Navy semi-circles that emerge from the upper’s gray underlayer, before finally ending in the Cement Grey pieces of TPU on each side of the mid-cut collar. Between these, one last branding effect is proudly displayed as the Cement Grey tongue hosts a Midnight Navy Jumpman, which has been artfully embroidered into its center for a stunning finish to this dapper sneaker.
