Nina Chanel Abney has already shared multiple detailed glimpses of her forthcoming collaboration with Air Jordan 3 on social media, and now, official Nike images have surfaced just before the June 20th launch.
The acclaimed NYC contemporary artist made waves with her initial collaborative Jordan capsule back in 2022, which featured two reimagined Air Jordan 2s alongside a highly praised apparel line. This latest project merges one of the Big Apple’s foremost creatives with one of the most iconic silhouettes in the Air Jordan lineup, generating significant excitement and anticipation within the sneaker community.
Rendered in a vibrant blend of “Bicoastal” and “Malachite,” Nina Chanel’s iteration of the beloved hardwood classic introduces a canvas base accented by suede touches at the toe, collar, heel, and eyelets, complemented by “Fossil” detailing on the midsole, lining, and heel panel. The standout element of the shoe is undoubtedly the plush “Nike Air” branding adorning the rear, an emblematic insignia seamlessly integrated into Nina Chanel’s design philosophy. Notable additional features include rope laces, orange co-branding on the inner tongue, checkerboard insoles, and a distinctive shoe box, collectively steering the revered basketball silhouette toward the lifestyle realm through thoughtful design elements.
Take a closer look at the official images of the Nina Chanel Abney x Air Jordan 3 below, and mark your calendars for its release on June 20th, priced at $225. These Nike Air Jordans are considered the best of the 2024 year.
