Air Jordan 3 Retro Black Gold delivers a subtle twist on the OG Black Cement colorway from 1988. Like the original, the upper is crafted from black tumbled leather with signature elephant print overlays at the forefoot and heel. Neutral grey accents are replaced by hits of metallic gold on the collar, eyestay, and tongue, with the latter featuring an embroidered Jumpman logo in Gym Red. A second Jumpman decorates the molded black heel tab. Lightweight cushioning is provided by a polyurethane midsole, featuring the Jordan franchise s first visible Air-sole unit.
