It is hard to believe that the Air Jordan III was released back in 1988. However, despite its age, the allure of the AJ3 remains strong amongst sneakerheads.  As part of their Sample Closet series, Foot Locker Unlocked is taking us back to 1994, when the first retro of the AJ3 dropped. Available now on eBay.

As seen in the images, the iconic shape of the sneaker has not changed over the years and the materials look the same also. A soft black leather covers the upper and only gives way to the elephant print on the rear and around to toe box. Down below we have a white midsole, and just below that we have a grey outsole. For you history buffs, this is the year that Jordan won his first MVP, and one of the years in which he won the Slam Dunk contest. Does anyone out there have a retro from 1994? How about 2001? 2008?
