Jordan Brand delivers a new iteration of the Air Jordan 3 Winterized sneaker model with the Archaeo Brown colorway palette to join the roster. As the colder seasons begin to roll in around the corner, the label creates a durable version of the shoe without compromising its design details.
It is made with winterized suede throughout the upper and accents of marron, grey, and brown as the main hues. Maroon can be seen at the base section of the heel and tongue as the heel counter and mudguard are decorated in grey. White sashiko accents are also applied to the shoe to give it a textural look as it all sits on top of a sole unit with a visible Air unit.
