The Jordan 3 Stealth Series features a variety of New Era caps with new simple, but original designs. All the headgear features a gray top, black brim and red accents as a nod to the [Chicago Bulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-shorts)' team colors. Look below the brim and one will find an elephant print, which is the primary design of the [Air Jordan 3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-money) sneakers. Of course, there's also the shoe itself, which is a high-top with the same color schemes as the caps. The caps from the Jordan 3 Stealth Series are limited editions with only 180 made. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sports Merchandise Collections:** A trend of creating limited-edition sports merchandise collections with original designs to attract fans and increase profits. - **Fashion-materials Integration:** A trend of integrating fashion elements into sports merchandise designs like New Era caps. - **Athlete-inspired Merchandise:** A trend of releasing merchandise inspired by retired athletes to cater to fans and capitalize on nostalgia. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sports Merchandise Industry:** The sports merchandise industry has an opportunity to collaborate with fashion and create limited-edition merchandise collections like the Jordan 3 Stealth Series. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can benefit from integrating sport-inspired merchandise into their collections like New Era caps. - **Athlete Merchandise Industry:** The athlete merchandise industry can take inspiration from retired athletes and create merchandise collections that cater to fans and capitalize on nostalgia. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Sleek Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-money.md) - [Crisp Tonal Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-shorts.md) - [Merged Hybrid Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-23.md) - [Monochromatic Hybrid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-23-1.md) - [Stealthy Colorblocked Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flu-game-colorway.md) - [Expanded Simplistic Mid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-air.md) - [Sleek Contrasting Sneaker Colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-23-2.md) - [Red-Accented Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-red-colorway.md) - [Sporty Greyscale Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-3-sneaker.md)
