FAQs

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

The shoe was designed in collaboration with J Balvin and is inspired by the vibrant sunsets of his hometown, Medellín.

Is this shoe suitable for active basketball?

While it features the design of a classic performance basketball shoe, this retro version is intended for lifestyle and casual wear.

Does the ivory leather discolour easily?

Due to the light color, the material is prone to showing dirt. Regular maintenance and the use of protective sprays are recommended.

What does the 'SP' in the name stand for?

SP stands for Special Projects, indicating that this is a limited, premium release from the Jordan Brand.

Are these sneakers true to size?

Generally, the Air Jordan 3 fits true to size. If you prefer a roomier fit, some users opt for a half-size up.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or scuffs on the ivory leather

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and mild leather cleaner; test in an inconspicuous spot first.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.

Dust accumulation in the elephant print grooves

Use a soft, dry toothbrush to carefully dislodge debris from the textured elephant print panels.

Pros and Cons

  • Retains iconic Jordan 3 features like the elephant print
  • Unique collaborative aesthetic that stands out in any collection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 3 Retro SP stays in excellent condition, consider the following care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a specialized sneaker cleaning solution for the leather upper. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the color or damage the finish.
  2. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the leather and fading of the vibrant accent colors.
  3. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for premium leather before the first wear to guard against spills and light rain.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual wear, including tapered denim, cargo pants, or joggers that highlight the silhouette without covering the heel details.
