To celebrate the NBA All-Star weekend and to commemorate Michael Jordan's incredible performance at the Slam Dunk Contest in 1988, Air Jordan is launching four distinct shoe silhouettes, including the company's first ever Flyknit basketball shoes.
While Nike's Flyknit technology allows for agility and comfort through its featherweight and formfitting properties, Air Jordan matches it with good design. The Flyknit basketball shoes have an all-grey knit upper, a black midsole with revealed Air units and a slightly translucent green outsole that brings a minimalist contrast to the shoe's color scheme.
The Air Jordan 3 Flyknit is released alongside the AJ3 'Black Cement,' the AJ3 'White Cement NRG' and the AJ3 'Tinker,' which gives Jordan Brand enthusiasts a variety of choices.
