Jordan 3 Retro 5Lab3 Black

Description

One of the most iconic elements of the Air Jordan 5 is its 3M reflective tongue. The black upper, minus the stitching, Jumpman logo and lace holes, is all reflective, making it one of the most Instagram-worthy retro Jordans of 2014. By the time the Air Jordan III 5Lab3 released it had pretty much sold out in a matter of days. Beneath the reflective upper a black midsole and icy blue translucent outsole added some more flashiness to the AJ3 5Lab3. While Michael Jordan never wore this Jordan 3 colorway, the reflective elements celebrate the ingenuity of Tinker Hatfield’s Jordan 5 design and tie the old and new together for sneaker enthusiasts both young and old. The Air Jordan “Lab Series” was created as a way for Jordan to tell stories of multiple Air Jordan models in a unique way and the reflective upper of Air Jordan III “5Lab3” in black is one of the cleanest of the Lab Series. Like any non-OG colorway, there is always an initial denial from the purists of Air Jordan collectors, but the black 5Lab3 Jordan 3 seemed to be too good for that attitude towards it to last long. Taking that as a starting point, the Air Jordan 5Lab3 reinvents the timeless AJ3 silhouette with a design that is almost entirely reflective.
