The Story Behind The Nike Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts”

A superstition becomes a sneaker.

The Story Behind The Nike Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts”

February’s line-up of new Jordans might go down in history as the most jam-packed schedule of drops in brand history. All eyes may be on the Air Jordan 1 ”85 “Bred”, but on the ledger are some choice picks that would dominate any other month. Yet, the Jumpman truly intends to mke February a month to remember, so better get familiar with the upcoming Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts”.

The History Of The “Lucky Shorts”

For the unfamiliar, this Air Jordan 3 is inspired by Michael Jordan’s superstition of wearing his UNC practice shorts under his actual game shorts in the NBA. The reason behind this quirk was because MJ wore these same shorts in 1982 when he guided the UNC Tar Heels to the National Championship with a late-game go-ahead jumpshot that would seal the deal.

For this 2025 Air Jordan 3, we see a clean white upper paired up with a Legend Blue that is closely tied to UNC. A significantly lighter Hydrogen Blue is seen on the fore-foot traction as well as the interior lining, while behind the tongue is a washing instructions label that nods to the lucky apparel piece.

Where To Buy The Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts”

A release date for the Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts” has been scheduled for February 22nd, 2025; see the detailed look just ahead and stay tuned for an updated store list below. See our Jordan Release Dates page for the latest updates.
