Air Jordan 3 "Lucky Shorts" CT8532-101

The Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts” digs deep into Michael Jordan’s personal rituals, bringing to life a story that’s often overshadowed by his on-court dominance. Inspired by the practice shorts from his University of North Carolina days, this release pays tribute to MJ’s belief in wearing them under his Chicago Bulls uniform for good luck. Whether superstition or just routine, it’s now part of basketball lore—and this pair keeps that story alive.

The sneaker features a crisp white tumbled leather upper, giving it a clean, premium feel. Replacing the traditional elephant print, light grey suede wraps around the toebox, eyestays, and heel. The familiar “University Blue” accents appear on the eyelets and midsole, adding a pop of colour that ties back to MJ’s UNC roots. Underfoot, the Nike Air midsole arrives in a creamy “Sail” tone, giving off a subtle vintage vibe that contrasts nicely with the fresh upper.

For branding, the Jumpman logo sits proudly on the tongue, sockliner, and TPU heel badge, reminding us of Jordan’s high-flying legacy. A visible Air unit in the heel delivers reliable comfort, while the pivot circle outsole ensures traction on and off the court.

The Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts” blends history and design effortlessly, offering a fresh take on a beloved silhouette. Don’t forget to check our Air Jordan 3 size guide to get the perfect fit.
