Air Jordan Fusion 3
The Air Jordan III (3) can easily be considered legendary by fans of the Air Jordan line. The Nike Air Force 1 (ones) can also hold its own among the best of the best. So, it seems almost perfect that the third Air Jordan Fusion to be released was the Air Jordan Fusion 3 (III). Combining two strong pieces of sneaker and basketball history into one is a recipe for greatness.
The upper of the Air Jordan Fusion III (3) heavily represents the Air Jordan III (3), with the exception of the front quarter inspired by the Nike Air Force 1 (ones). Any mention of the Air Jordan III (3) would be disgraceful if there were not elephant print present, as it is on the heel, toe, and along the lace holes of the Air Jordan Fusion 3. The tongue also comes from the Air Jordan III (3), with the trademark "Best of Both Worlds" under the tongue. The midsole and outsole are taken from the Nike Air Force 1 (ones), with a little bit of AJ III (3) influence with the visible air sole unit in the heel. What the Air Jordan Fusion 3 (III) is missing is the strap from the Nike Air Force 1 (ones) mid that has been used on the previous two models.
The Air Jordan Fusion III (3) establishes a pattern that any Air Jordan sneaker with some Nike Air Force 1 (ones) influence can create something special. A number of great color ways were released, some familiar, others not so familiar. The Air Jordan Fusion 3 is in a league of its own, paying homage to two of the greatest pieces of footwear ever stitched.
