The Air Jordan 3 also carried more of Jordan's name on the shoe since the man himself was an active part of the design of the shoe. The Air Jordan 3 hit the streets in 1988. To follow up an incredible year the year before, a great pair of Air Jordan shoes was needed and fulfilled. The Air Jordan 3 was the first of 14 Air Jordans designed by Tinker Hatfield.
   In 2007, Jordan collaborated with director Spike Lee to release a limited pair of Air Jordan III's in a special colorway to resemble the Do The Right Thing movie poster.
   Also, in 2007, we saw the retroed versions of the Air Jordan III's in two monotone colorways, all black and all white, nicknamed the "Black Cats" and the "Pure Moneys" respectively.
   In 2007, the "Flips"moved the elephant print from the trim to the entire shoe and replacing it with white leather, indeed "Flipping" the original design of white leather with elephant print trim.
   In 2009,  Jordan Brand  re-retroed the highy sought after Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 5 in the True Blue colourcode.
