Who picked up the 3s on Friday? Better yet, who didn’t? Yes, the Black/Cement Air Jordan 3 made plenty happy, marking the fourth AJ 3 release of the calendar year and the third OG. From retros to originals, plenty of great variations have kept the third Air Jordan relevant for nearly two and a half decades. Complex ranks the 14 best here.

It was officially declared as Nike’s Quickstrike release this season, the Nike Sky Force 88 x Mighty Crown dropped and sold out everywhere with an outstanding sales result. This collaborative project by Nike and Japan’s reggae sound system, Mighty Crown comes in a stunning silhouette that utilizes the classic Sky Force 88.

The Nike Sky Force 88 x Mighty Crown was launched just about a month ago but an eBay seller is now putting up a pair for auction. Basically, the whole Mighty Crown pack is composed of the Dunk High Premium and the Sky Force 88 but let us only consider the latter as being highlighted which is supremely detailed and mixes 3M, flint grey, and metallic silver across a croc skin printed upper. The tongue owns another tone of the same croc skin texture with grey and white combination. Mighty Crown’s proud logo embellishes the lace whereas the midsole enjoys an entirely croc-inspired theme.
