The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG 'True Blue' holds a special place in sneaker history as one of the original colorways released in 1988. Over the years, it has been re-released multiple times to the delight of sneakerheads and Jordan fans.

Following its debut in 1988, the 'True Blue' Air Jordan 3 saw several retro releases, each one building on the shoe's iconic status. In 2001, it made a comeback, followed by another release in 2009, although the latter was exclusive to Europe. The year 2011 marked the 23rd anniversary of the Air Jordan 3, prompting another reissue of the 'True Blue' colorway as part of a wider retro release lineup. However, it wasn't until 2016 that the 'True Blue' Air Jordan 3 received a retro treatment faithful to the original release. This retro brought back the shoe with all the original branding and logo details, replicating the iconic design elements that made it a classic in the first place. From the Nike Air branding on the heel to the classic 'Nike' logo on the outsole, every detail was meticulously recreated to match the 1988 version.
