When the Air Jordan 3 first appeared, the elephant print, which debuted with the brand, had the most striking appeal. The design was completely different compared to the first two models, the AJ1 and AJ2. The elephant print, present on the mudguard and heel, became the sensational feature aside from the maiden appearance of the visible Air sole.

Years passed and still, the Air Jordan 3 is among the brand’s most active shoes. It has been released in many colorways, and today, we see a truly reincarnated sneaker that will make us think we have seen it before. Introducing the “Stealth”, a toned down grey upper with the elephant print is a less visible mark. The original bold-printed mudguard is now replaced with a subtle version of the famous pattern. We can appreciate the furtiveness of this AJ3 by the stealth and light graphite blend. Neutral sole unit is made of black glossy midsole and white outsole. At the final end, the red accent gives the entire shoe its life.

What’s hot in eBay today is nothing new. For sure you have seen the Air Jordan 3, MJ’s third signature shoe that debuted on the year he first snatched the NBA Most Valuable Player title. The Air Jordan 3 was the first shoe from the Air Jordan series to utilize a visible Air sole. It is also where the famous elephant print first appeared.

After the OG colorway, the following Air Jordan 3 releases came up in retro colors but didn’t get away from the basics. Most retro colorways had white, grey, black, and blue as primary tones. However, it was never a surprise when Air Jordan switched to a slightly different approach – that’s when the ‘Do The Right Thing’ was conceptualized. This enabled the production of vivid colorways such as the Tru Blu, a release that is done up in varsity blue upper with varsity blue/white elephant print accent plus orange detailing. One interesting attribute of this shoe is the lime green Jumpman logo embroidered on the tongue – perfect match for the orange hit.
