AJ3 Retro Black Court Purple

Suns Colors That Never Made It to the US

The Jordan 3 Black Court Purple (CT8532-050) released November 21, 2020 at $190 as a European exclusive, never officially dropping in North America. Black genuine leather upper with grey elephant print on the toe and heel. Court Purple accents hit the collar, eyelets, and lower midsole. An orange-outlined Jumpman on the tongue adds a pop of warmth. White midsole and grey outsole. Originally rumored as a Lakers colorway, the final product leaned more Phoenix Suns with its purple and orange combo.

Black leather is smooth with a nice tumble. Purple sits in the right tone, deep but not too dark. The orange Jumpman detail is small but it makes the shoe. Because it skipped the US market, this one flew under the radar for a lot of collectors. Looks sharp with all-black fits or dark denim. More on the Jordan 3 reps page. Full lineup at rep shoes.
