A tribute to the greatest of all time, at the greatest moment of his career.

- Visible Air Unit: The revolutionary visible heel Air unit that debuted on the AJ3 in 1988 — still one of the most celebrated design innovations in sneaker history
- Premium Leather & Nubuck Upper: Rich leather and nubuck construction in stealth and black delivers a dark, luxurious finish befitting a Hall of Fame tribute
- Varsity Red Accents: Bold red details on the outsole, lining, and Jumpman add a striking contrast that ties the HOF colorway together

The Greatest Moment for the Greatest Player
On September 11, 2009, Michael Jordan delivered one of the most emotional speeches in sports history as he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The 'Katrina' colorway — named after his mother Deloris 'Katrina' Jordan, who played a pivotal role in his life and career — was created specifically for that night. It's a shoe with a soul, a story, and a significance that goes far beyond the court.
For his mother. For the Hall. For the Greatest. The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Katrina' is the most personal pair in Jordan Brand history.
