The Air Jordan 3 GS “Desert Elephant” is the youth sizing of the colorway that updates an iconic design in the retro basketball shoe’s collection. Inspired by the Jordan 3’s original “Black Cement” colorway, the “Desert Elephant” features a similar color block, albeit with a few twists. Like the original “Black Cement,” the “Desert Elephant’s” upper is designed in black leather. Instead of grey elephant print on the toe and heel per the original colorway, this version dons brown elephant patterning. Dotted grey leather appears on the middle eyelets and collar. An orange Jumpman is embroidered on the grey suede tongue.

Wanted to try something new I’ve never gotten Jordan 3s but I’m surprised how comfortable these are, very clean color way and nice simple design.I would definitely recommend.

The sneakers were fake the paint was coming off shoestring holes was extremely big. My box was basically poster paper and fell apart immediately and seams had thread coming out

I had ordered these 4 days ago and they got delivered today which was so quick. The color way is so nice in person. I also personally think it’s easy to dress up or dress down with these pairs. They will be a bit uncomfortable to wear and walk with at first, but you just have to break them in.

Love these Jordan 3's...color choices and color blocking is absolute fire! Fits true to size and are very comfortable. My only issue with the Jordan 3 in general is they make A LOT of noise when I'm walking. Not 100% sure why but it has something to do with the tongue rubbing/moving while in motion. This happens on all of the Jordan 3's I own and it's really loud.
iReally liked them so I grab my son a pair they look felt good, my husband buys a pair and loves them comfortable great Jordan sneaker! Oh yes I had to get myself Pair too😘 the colors make them
Hibbett customer service is great. Unfortunately Jordan has been dropping the ball on grade school shoes this year as they are poorly constructed. There is glue showing all over the shoes. I am returning
I love themmm, they are so cute and fit well. I got the biggest size thinking they were to large but fit great!
9.1/10 extremely comfortable, & look amazing, however they did come with a bit of creases
Ordered these for my 15 year old. The adult women’s sizes were out of stock, so we ordered them in Youth. She loves them! Wish they were mine :)
