The Air Jordan 3 continues to prove why it’s one of the most iconic sneakers ever made. First introduced in 1988, this silhouette changed sneaker culture forever — from its legendary elephant print overlays to the debut of the Jumpman logo. Now, decades later, Jordan Brand reimagines this classic with a luxurious, fall-ready colorway — the Air Jordan 3 ‘Medium Olive / Family Affair’ — available now at Krewsa South Africa.
Model History: A Milestone in Sneaker Culture
When designer Tinker Hatfield introduced the Air Jordan 3, it wasn’t just a basketball shoe — it became a lifestyle statement. The visible Air unit gave players and fans something fresh, while the bold elephant print added personality and confidence. Michael Jordan’s unforgettable performance at the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in the ‘White Cement’ 3s made this sneaker an instant icon.
Since then, the AJ3 has evolved into a cultural symbol worn by athletes, artists, and collectors worldwide. Each release, including the Air Jordan 3 ‘Medium Olive’, keeps that legacy alive while adapting to modern streetwear trends.
Design Breakdown: The ‘Medium Olive / Family Affair’
The Air Jordan 3 ‘Medium Olive’ blends earthy tones and premium textures to deliver a look that’s both rugged and refined — a perfect fit for South Africa’s transitional seasons. The upper combines Medium Olive and Neutral Olive hues for a layered finish, complemented by classic elephant print panels on the toe and heel. Subtle Sequoia details add depth, while a Sail midsole and Gum Medium Brown outsole bring that vintage, autumn-ready touch.
At the back, the bold Nike Air heel branding pays homage to the 1988 original — a detail that true sneaker purists and collectors will instantly appreciate.
