The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Lucky Shorts” takes inspiration from one of Michael Jordan’s most famous rituals. Known for wearing his University of North Carolina practice shorts under his Chicago Bulls uniform for good luck, MJ’s superstition now lives on in sneaker form.
This special edition leans into the iconic UNC colour scheme, with a crisp white leather upper contrasted by soft grey suede overlays on the toe, eyestay, collar, and heel. Unlike traditional AJ3 releases, the usual elephant print is absent, giving this pair a cleaner, more refined look. Blue accents add a pop of colour, appearing on the midsole, Jumpman branding, and TPU heel tab.
Underfoot, a visible Air unit provides lightweight cushioning, keeping things comfortable whether on or off the court. The rubber outsole features pivot circles for traction, ensuring durability across different surfaces. The mix of premium materials and heritage-inspired details makes this a standout addition to any collection.
With its subtle nod to MJ’s lucky shorts and a refined take on the classic AJ3 design, this release blends nostalgia with fresh appeal. Whether you’re lacing up for the game or the streets, the “Lucky Shorts” edition brings a piece of Jordan’s legacy to every step.
