Using materials and color blocking that stay true to the iconic silhouette's original 1988 release is the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Desert.' The black tumbled leather upper features signature elephant-print overlays in a light tan finish that repeats on the collar, eyestay, and tongue that also has a crimson Jumpman logo. The mid-top is built on a white polyurethane midsole with a visible Air-sole unit under the heel.
