AJ3 Retro Mocha (2018)

AJ3 Retro Mocha (2018)

The 2001 Cult Classic, Retroed in 2018

The original Mocha Jordan 3 dropped in 2001, flopped at retail, and then slowly became one of the most wanted J3 colorways on the aftermarket. Jordan Brand brought it back as the Jordan 3 Retro Mocha 2018 and the reception was completely different the second time around. White tumbled leather upper, dark mocha brown elephant print on the toe and heel, with mocha accents on the collar and sockliner. Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel. White midsole, grey outsole.

The brown elephant print is the defining detail. It gives the shoe a warmer, earthier feel than the standard grey version. Leather is clean with a consistent tumble. A colorway that works across seasons and pairs with practically any earth-toned outfit. The 2001 story of a flop turning into a grail is one of the best in sneaker history.
