Miami boutique SoleFly is one of the most well-respected sneaker entities in the game, and for good reason. In an effort to celebrate Florida’s Lotto history, an unreleased Air Jordan 3 “Lotto” was designed, which never received a retail release despite its popularity.
The popular Miami-based boutique was founded in 2015, and over the years, it has solidified a name for itself within the sneaker world, garnering prestige thanks to its famous client list and unique releases, which have since given the city’s surrounding area a level of notoriety amongst sneaker collectors. One of the most notorious past releases from SoleFly was that “Lotto” Jordan 3.
Recently, a never-before-seen sample of the SoleFly Air Jordan 3 “Lotto” has been revealed, and it features an unconventional aesthetic, which makes for a fun and vibrant alternative to the anticipated colorway. Instead of featuring elephant print elements throughout the upper, the sample features a lenticular upper, that transitions from pink to white, most likely to reference Florida’s flamingos, accompanied by bright red accents to the midsole, heel, and lining, as well as accent colors of green, orange, and yellow to finish off the Lottery concept.
Lacking any elephant print elements that would typically adorn a Jordan 3, this sample of the “Lotto” version is a unique alternative in its own right, with a red flamingo logo stitched to the tongue. The overall color scheme of the shoe might be a bit playful, but it’s also hard to argue that it wouldn’t make for a really dope addition to any collection. It also incorporates a different element of Florida’s culture in the regional storytelling aspect, while maintaining that SameLevel sneakerhead aesthetic.
Though this pair will likely remain a sample, rumors suggest SoleFly is cooking up a new Air Jordan 3 collaboration for Fall/Holiday 2025. Details remain under wraps, but anticipation is already building across the community.
