If the Black Cat 3 is the sinister attacking nature of the competitive side of Michael Jordan, the Air Jordan 3 Retro “Pure Money” is the lighthearted gambling on the golf course side of MJ’s personality. The Pure Money nickname of the White/Metallic Silver AJ3 thanks to the scripted “Pure $” behind the heel tab. The all white Jordan 3 was far from trendy at the time but offered a nice break from some of the other over-the-top colorways that were releasing back in 2007. The subtle shades of white on the famed Elephant Print mud guard and heel wrap were offset with a chrome Jumpman logo and chrome and Metallic Silver lace eyelets. The AJ3 Pure Money also featured the unique-at-the-time Elephant Print laces. Though these weren’t incredibly difficult to get when they originally released, over time they’ve become more popular than most would have guessed. Celebs like Mark Wahlberg and Jay-Z have been spotted wearing Pure Money 3s over the years and athletes like Nate Robinson, James Harden and Russell Westbrook have also been seen wearing them. The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Pure Money” is a tasteful homage to the greatness that Tinker Hatfield created for Michael Jordan back in 1988.
