Clean: Air Jordan 3 ‘Particle Beige’
You know you’re associated with a brand seeping in hype when sneaker blogs are looking at your daughter’s shoe game for news – the Air Jordan 3 ‘Particle Beige’ was first spotted on the feet of Jasmine Jordan, MJ’s daughter.
After that brief preview earlier this year, we finally get to see this gorgeous colorway of the AJ 3 release to the public. Once again, a women’s exclusive sneaker is dripping in quality materials and a pristine look.
This latest drop goes on to continue Jordan Brand’s habit of saving some of their best colorways for the ladies. The upper on this Air Jordan 3 is in a nubuck build that looks downright luxurious in this shade of Beige.
The iconic third piece of MJ’s signature line is usually fitted with a textured leather upper and keeps within a tonal range of colors. Though that color philosophy is maintained here, throwing on the nubuck acts as a source of variety.
Much like the previously released wool iterations of the past, this type of construction just gives us a different look for this familiar shoe. In particular, the Air Jordan 3 also has an interesting cultural history when it comes to Women’s exclusive releases.
Each piece of the Jordan signature line has a sort of association – or multiple associations – within the larger sneaker community. For the Air Jordan 3, its reputation has always been that of a popular choice of retro for female sneakerheads.
That Jordan Brand continues to hold its Women’s exclusives to such a high standard is a good sign of its priorities. Most of the brand’s time has been – and continues to be – spent on male-centric design anyhow, so it’s always nice to see these fire colorways drop for the ladies.
Make sure you kick the weekend off right in these gems.
