Jordan fans have rejoiced this year after being repeatedly blessed with Air Jordan III releases. These releases have spanned from OG classics like the White Cement’s and the True Blues (expected to hit retailers on June 4th) to brand new colorways like the Black History Month and the Stealth model slated for the fall. Here we see a glimpse of what could have been, an unreleased sample that lands somewhere between the Blackcat and Black Cement editions of the Air Jordan III. This pair is dipped in black, save for the elephant print and the Jumpman logo on the back. Given the production date found on the tongue (2008), it’s unlikely that these will ever see a retail release, but luckily there are plenty of other offerings this year as far as the Air Jordan III is concerned.
