Back in 2007 Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 3 "Fire Red" colorway as a retro for the very first time and as one of the original colorways that Michael Jordan played in, it was something OG sneaker collectors had been waiting for. The Fire Red Air Jordan 3 is the only colorway of the four original Jordan 3s that doesn’t use a cement grey Elephant Print. Instead, the Fire Red 3 and the retro version use a much darker color surrounding the toe and wrapping around the ankle and heel of Tinker Hatfield’s iconic design. However, the section of the upper that rests under the laces is the cement grey, and its lightly perforated finish provides a contrast against the tumbled white leather of the Air Jordan 3 upper. Purists might not like the "Jumpman Air" on the heel of the 2007 Fire Red Jordan 3 Retro but when a shoe has been shelved for nearly 20 years, there are plenty more fans and enthusiasts ready to purchase, so this one still seemed to disappear relatively quickly when it released. The Air Jordan 3 Retro "Fire Red" is one of those colorways that even the average basketball fan can appreciate from the days of MJ and the Chicago Bulls and the memories associated with the era.
