This summer will bring the highly anticipated return of the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” after a 10-year wait, and the occasion will be reinforced with the colorway traveling to another model from Jordan Brand.
The Jordan Sixty Plus Low “True Blue” borrows the original AJ3 look to clean effect. A white leather upper gets blue trim near the collar, with the color popping up again on the eyestays, lining, heel stabilizer and portions of the outsole. Bursts of red then come through via the lace toggle, tongue Jumpman logo, heel no. 23 and the midsole’s shark teeth.
