The AJ3 is one of my favorite silhouettes from a design and comfort standpoint. It feels great and delivers a simplistic brilliance. That said, with the wrong color blocking, the shoe can look childish. We’re walking the line here with the Air Jordan 3 ‘Court Purple’ but we stay safe enough for me to endorse. Let’s talk sneakers.

The Suns read is not just one writer’s take. StockX’s own record says the overseas release kept the mock-up’s original color blocking and Phoenix Suns theme, and the shoe was rumored Lakers before it landed there.
It never released in the United States. That is why resale is the only route, and it is sitting close to retail.
One description I read described this colorway as Phoenix Suns like. I went with it in the headline, but the more I looked at it, it felt more aligned with a look the team no longer sports. That said, some people still call it the Suns AJ3, so we stayed there.
