[one_half_last]Growing up in Brooklyn in the 80’s was the coolest. Hip Hop was bursting on to the scene, the fashion was crazy & Michael Jordan was on his was to becoming a basketball God. Not only was I viewing his super human feats on the court, I was watching his feet on the court, and in February of 1988 Nike released what is in my opinion the greatest Air Jordan sneaker ever. It was the 3rd sneaker released between the two parties & it was a doozy! Now being a March baby I really wanted these sneakers bad for my birthday but kids my age were getting robbed left & right for their kicks back then. It was a long shot but I asked……and got rejected, we really didn’t have money like that back then anyway but moms just hit me with the it’s too dangerous excuse & shattered my hopes & dreams.

It would be a number of years before I had another shot at obtaining these beauties. Without dragging you through my various failed attempts at getting the 3’s I’ll just fast forward to 2010 when I FINALLY got my first pair of retro Jordan 3’s (black cement color way to be specific).

[one_third]As an artist in the public eye it’s important for me to always show up fresh from head to feet & the Jordan 3 never let’s me down no matter what the outfit. I’ve walked the red carpet, hosted events, performed all over the world & have interviewed your favorite artists wearing this sneaker.

[one_half_last] I can recall landing in about a foot of snow in Germany back in 2012 and all I had to rock was my trusty 3’s.

They’re fashionable, comfortable & durable. My oldest pair I’ve had about 2 years but they’ve been through it all with me. Anytime they retro I try to get a couple pair at least at retail price, but my latest pair I paid a pretty penny for (Thanks to Flight Club). My closet holds over 100 pair of sneakers, but none compare to my beloved Jordan 3’s.
