The Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red” Is as Classic as It Gets - Tech Preview

Jordan Brand brings out a bunch of new Air Jordans every year, but real sneaker fans will tell you there is something special about the OGs making a comeback. In 1988, the Air Jordan 3, designed by Tinker Hatfield, came out in four styles: “White Cement,” “Black Cement,” “True Blue,” and “Fire Red.”

Now, after 34 years, the “Fire Red” Air Jordan 3 is making a big comeback. This is the sneaker that MJ wore when he got MVP, won the Slam Dunk contest, and became Defensive Player of the Year. It is a big deal!

Colours Available

Let us talk about the colours first. The bumpy leather on top is all white, and there are dark grey parts with a cool elephant pattern. These gray parts look more like the design from ’88.

Now, the special parts really stand out. They are on the eyelets, Jumpman logos, midsoles, and the Nike Air sign at the heels—stuff that Jordan fans really wanted. The whole colour style is inspired by Chicago, and that is cool on its own.

Getting Jordans is like getting a Ferrari. Ferraris look good in any colour, but when they are all red, it is like saying “perfect.” It’s the same with Jordan shoes in the colours of the Chicago Bulls.

Let us talk about the shoe box details—they are interesting! The original Air Jordan 3 box is making a comeback. It has got a black cover and a bottom part with a cement pattern. However, there is a change: instead of the Jumpman logo, this time, there’s the Nike Air logo on the top. And you get a paper card that shows all the technical stuff about the Air Jordan 3, just like the original pairs had.

The last times the “Fire Red” sneakers were sold were in 1988, 2007, and 2013. You can see pictures of each version above, but there were some noticeable differences in quality, materials, shape, and packaging compared to the original.

In those versions, the cement parts were dark black, and the lines on the elephant pattern were overly thick. The main complaint from Jordan fans was the logo on the heel—it was the Jumpman, not the original Nike Air logo.

However, now, for the 2022 release, if you have been waiting for these sneakers, you’re in luck! Jordan Brand made sure everything, from how they are made to the colours to the box they come in, is just right. They did not cut any corners.

The Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red” brings back many memories for older sneaker fans and introduces something cool for Gen-Z. That is why it is one of the top Jordan releases this year. What’s even better is that they’re not too hard to get.

They will not stay on the store shelves for long. If you want a pair, try entering all the contests and be ready when they are released on SNKRS. If you miss out and have to buy from someone else, the prices might be $50-100 more than the original price, but it should not be too crazy.
