What used to be a closed, exclusive community of sneakerheads has become a worldwide phenomenon. With more people on board, the trends in sneakers take hold more forcefully but also move more quickly. Classic sneakers take on a life of their own, falling into disregard one month before being revived heroically by a single release or celebrity endorsement the next. One classic silhouette that always seems to be on the menu, though, is the Nike Air Jordan 3.
With a couple of strong recent drops under its name, the Air Jordan 3 has edged its way back into the spotlight; the spotlight that, for the past year, has been dominated by the Jordan 1. Nobody stays at the top forever, though. But while new Air Jordan 3 releases sell out in raffles, there’s a whole world of aftermarket Jordan 3 silhouettes at eBay which are sure to make more of an impact on foot. eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee means you can be sure you’re getting the real deal, too.
To pay our respects to an all-time classic, and to prep our rotation for what looks set to be a summer of Air Jordan 3s, we hit eBay to round up the best Air Jordan 3 colorways on offer.
