J Balvin unveils a look at his latest Jordan 3 sneaker model which is inspired by sunset themes -- it is dubbed Rio. It continues on the narrative of the previous Jordan 3 shoe celebrating his hometown of Medellin, Columbia. Last year, the shoes had a vintage theme with a white base and accents of sunset-inspired themes to capture the hues of the city's mountain landscapes.
This year, the duo also nods to the captivating sunsets but takes on a focus that is centered around the nighttime. It has a jet-black base that is detailed with sunset hues around the bottom and hidden discreetly including behind the tongue. It is rounded out by branding details.
