While Space Jam has taught us many things – from Larry being clear to Bill Murray being an absolute legend – a key anecdote in the movie is Michael Jordan’s superstition about his lucky pair of (compression) shorts from his time at the University of North Carolina that he continued to wear under his game shorts as a pro. Word to Stan Podolak.
Now, an all-new colorway of the iconic Air Jordan III is paying tribute to this often-overlooked yet essential item of Jordan’s game day routine with the ‘Lucky Shorts’ edition of the classic silhouette.
This latest Air Jordan III sets itself apart from traditional colorways of the legendary model as it doesn’t feature the characteristic elephant print panels. Instead, full-grain leather in Summit White on the upper is paired with Photon Dust suede overlays and Legend and Hydrogen Blue accents on the heel, eyelets, and logo branding that pay homage to Jordan’s college days as well as the lucky shorts.
The Air Jordan III ‘Lucky Shorts’ releases at BSTN on Saturday, February 22nd. Pick up your pair via the button below!
