Jordan 3 Retro SP J Balvin Medellín Sunset

The Jordan 3 Retro SP J Balvin Medellín Sunset represents a collaboration between the singer-songwriter and the iconic AJ3. Inspired by the sunsets in Balvin's home city of Medellín, Colombia, this pair of kicks is specifically designed for toddlers. This Special Project artistic iteration sports a base of cream-colored tumbled leather with elephant print overlays adorning the toe cap and side panel. Tan suede forms the padded collar and eyestays. Gradient sunset shades from yellow to pinkish orange to black highlight both the heel tab and the heel of the midsole, while the rest of the midsole features cream-colored cushioning that contains air for springy energy return. The rubber outsole is grooved with stars and concentric circles to provide grip and shock absorption. Our favorite aspect of this toddlers’ shoe is the hits of gold on the upper, including the Jumpman on the tongue, the upper eyestays, and the barely visible lining just above the stitching that circles the midline of the upper. The Jordan 3 Retro SP J Balvin Medellín Sunset was released on September 23, 2023, for $80 retail.
