2022 has been extremely kind to the Air Jordan 3: following word of the “Fire Red” colorway’s return, the silhouette has dropped a number of new make-ups, from “Cardinal” to “Muslin.”As always, Jordan Brand looks to keep its classic silhouettes fresh with new colorways. One such silhouette that is often visited is the Tinker Hatfield designed Air Jordan 3. Following up on the Air Jordan 3 “Muslin” and “Cardinal Red,” a “Desert Elephant” is on its way to the iconic model.
The Air Jordan 3 Desert Elephant presents a familiar color blocking formula.Dressed in a Black,Rush Orange,Fossil Stone and Sail color scheme.Opting for a modest black leather upper, the emphasis of this pair is with the supporting details such as the light tan suede tongue. This soft shade of brown is matched at the outsole and complemented by the off-white colored midsole. However, the key details that give it the true “Desert Elephant” flair rest at the overlays and insole. First off, the overlays revamp the Air Jordan 3’s signature elephant print with a textured brown. Then, at the insole, Jordan Brand has included a formula tag, giving a nod to elephants.
The Yeezy Boost 500 “Ash Grey" features a neoprene base framed by leather and suede panels that provide a dynamic design centred around various rounded forms.Mesh upper provides lightweight breathability and comfort where it is needed, while reflective piping details add unique design cues and visual interest. A rubber wrap along the midsole provides support and abrasion resistance. The Adiprene+ cushioning absorbs impact and optimizes rebound while a light rubber outsole provides traction.
