Air Jordan 3 Retro Knicks
Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Knicks'
The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Knicks' is a tribute to one of basketball's greatest rivalries — Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls versus the New York Knicks. Inspired by the infamous "Virus Game" of April 8, 1988, in which Jordan battled through a stomach virus to drop 47 points and lead the Bulls to victory, this colorway captures the intensity and legacy of that iconic matchup.

- Knicks-Inspired Colorway — Blue sock liner with color hits around the eyelet, tongue, and Air Jordan heel branding, nodding to the New York Knicks' iconic blue and orange palette.
- Inner Tongue Graphic — Features "04.08.88" — a direct reference to the date of Jordan's legendary Virus Game performance.
- Black, Grey & White Outsole — Classic Air Jordan 3 midsole and outsole construction with visible Air unit for cushioning and iconic branding underfoot.
- Elephant Print Detailing — The signature AJ3 texture that has defined the silhouette since its 1988 debut.
