The Find

Jordan 3 Retro

The Air Jordan 3 Spring Is in the Air, aka the “Easter,” arrived around Easter weekend with a seasonal look built around one of Jordan Brand’s most recognizable silhouettes. The $215 retail price didn’t hold for long, as roughly a month later I spotted pairs at Champs Sports marked down to $179.99, an early $35 price drop. For patient Jordan 3 shoppers, that quick markdown is worth tracking because it gives us an early pricing checkpoint and shows how quickly this release started moving below retail.
