If they look like this mock up from House of Heat then I'm in.

Here's a slightly differing mock-up of these.

 

[Kierris]

In either way.

 

[RaiderRed806]

Like a re imagined UNC 3, I’m all in

Might finally un-ds my UNCs if they come correct with these lol

 

[therealest1]

These will definitely conjure up an immediate impression that these are just another variation of a Tar Heels-themed Jordan III.

Perhaps these can be seen as a somewhat viable substitute for peeps who missed out on the UNC III that came out in 2020.

I can’t do a 3 with no Nike air

I can’t do a 3 with no Nike air

Idk why they won’t put Nike Air on all retros at this point.

 

[AWOKEN CHARISMA]

The mock ups are looking good, I only wish theyd stop with the sail bs & just use white .

 

[Koncrete Kickz]

Not getting my hopes up, based on mockups

 

[charmcitykid]

The 1st mock up looks way better with the darker ep

 

[therealest1]

These are now slated to release on January 25, 2025.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Man, why not just retro the Harbor Blue pair again.

 

[therealest1]

These will now have a story gimmick. They're now slated for March 2025. They're going to be called Lucky Shorts.

The Air Jordan 3 Lucky Shorts Releases March 2025

Jordan Brand takes inspiration from MJ's lucky UNC shorts with the new Air Jordan 3 Retro Lucky Shorts. Find release information and images here.

As one of the most pivotal models in the history of sneakers, the Air Jordan 3 continues to captivate both new and long-standing fans of the Jordan Brand. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, this model is credited with keeping Michael Jordan with Nike after his initial dissatisfaction with the Air Jordan 2. Heading into Spring 2025, Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 3 Retro in a fresh Summit White Hydrogen Blue colorway nicknamed Lucky Shorts.

This latest iteration of the Jordan 3 features a premium tumbled leather upper in summit white, maintaining the model's classic and luxurious feel. Inspiration for the design comes from the UNC shorts Michael Jordan wore underneath his Chicago Bulls uniform, a theme explored earlier with the Jordan Air Ship Every Game. Akin to an A Ma Maniere AJ3, this pair removes the elephant print in favor of a hairy suede on the mudguard and heel overlays. For the rest of the upper, we see accenting hits of blue on the lower eyelets, the topmost eyelet, the Jumpman logo, and the collar. Underfoot sits a sail and blue midsole paired with a grey rubber outsole.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Lucky Shorts will release in March 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. This model will be available in men’s sizing for $200, while the grade school, preschool, and toddler sizes are priced at $150, $90, and $75, respectively.

^Notice this differing mock-up doesn't have the elephant print motif that's common with the III.

I mean yeah if it's just gonna be an 80s faded UNC 3 that's a cop easily.

I mean sure, those shorts are a silly reference to make for a shoe but Jordan Brand has referenced things far more ridiculous.

Sidebar: What is the silliest reference for a Jordan colorway? First thing that came to mind are the David Letterman 1s, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some

Complain about gimmicks, but proceeds to reinforce the gimmick
