Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Knicks'
The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Knicks' draws inspiration from one of Michael Jordan's greatest on-court rivalries — the New York Knicks. Known for their swarming defense and take-no-prisoners attitude, the Knicks were a constant thorn in the side of Jordan's Chicago Bulls throughout the late '80s and '90s.
The centerpiece of this design is Jordan's legendary "Virus Game" from the 1987–1988 season, where he battled through a brutal stomach virus to drop 47 points and lead the Bulls to victory. An inner tongue graphic reads 04.08.88 — a tribute to that unforgettable performance.

- Blue sock liner with matching hits on the eyelet, tongue, and Air Jordan heel branding
- Inner tongue graphic: 04.08.88 — honoring the iconic "Virus Game"
- Classic Air Jordan 3 branding on a black, grey, and white outsole
