Nike is all set to release a new edition of the Air Jordan 3 with a heartwarming twist. The Air Jordan series is Nike's long-running collaboration with basketball icon Michael Jordan, which has produced many iconic pairs so far.
This time, the shoe is called "Lucky Shorts," and the color and fabric theme is based on the basketball icon's University of North Carolina (UNC) shorts, which he deemed lucky.
Basketball legend Michael Jordan was known for his competitive spirit and meticulous routines. Jordan used to wear his UNC shorts under his professional team shorts for each of his games since he deemed it lucky. This began when he led the UNC Tar Heels to an NCAA championship in 1982 wearing these shorts, and the tradition continued ever since.
The light blue shorts, which Jordan considered a lucky talisman for his basketball career, went along with him throughout his inspirational journey with the Chicago Bulls. These "lucky shorts" are the inspiration behind the latest edition of the Nike Air Jordan 3. It is expected to be a coveted pair for sneakerheads and basketball fans alike.
