Sneaker Talk: Air Jordan 3 “Free Throw Line”

Published on

In 1988, Michael Jordan took flight from the free throw line, securing his iconic Slam Dunk Contest win. To commemorate this legendary moment, Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 3 “Free Throw Line” in 2018, celebrating the 30th anniversary of MJ’s gravity-defying leap.

This sneaker showcases a clean White leather upper, complemented by Cement Grey accents on the toe box and heel. Vibrant Fire Red details appear on the eyelets and Jumpman logo on the tongue, adding a bold contrast. A standout feature is the translucent outsole with a red stripe, precisely marking where Jordan launched his unforgettable dunk.

Additional thoughtful touches include the “3:51” lettering on the back pull tab, signifying the time Jordan soared, and “147” stitched on the tongue, a nod to his perfect dunk contest score. These subtle details honor MJ’s influence on basketball and sneaker culture.

For collectors and fans still seeking to add this piece of history to their rotation, the Air Jordan 3 “Free Throw Line” is available on resale platforms like StockX. This sneaker remains a timeless tribute to one of the NBA’s most iconic moments.
