Jordan Brand adds some creativity to the Air Jordan III with this new release, created just for the kids. It uses a black and grey upper very similar to that seen on the Black/Cement Grey 3 that we all know and love,  but the use of purple and pink elephant print really sets this sneaker apart. To make things even more unique, the upper has been mounted to a Volt midsole with matching laces to hold everything together, while hot pink has been used on the tongue graphics, lining, and eyelets.
