Thirty years ago Michael Jordan emerged as the game’s most dynamic and exciting dunker by completing the iconic slam from the free-throw line. While others have followed in his footsteps and taken off from the stripe, MJ did it with a level of style and grace that firmly cemented it as one of the most iconic moments in the history of sports. Jordan Brand is celebrating this feat with the Air Jordan 3 “White/Cement”, the shoe that MJ wore during that contest, but with a completely translucent sole that features a red stripe beneath that represents the free-throw line and a “147” label on the tongue to mark his total points in the final round. See a detailed exclusive look below and stay tuned for a release as NBA All-Star Weekend approaches.
