First Look At The Air Jordan 1 KO Georgetown “Knicks”

The New York Knicks were one of Michael Jordan’s fiercest Eastern Conference adversaries in the ’80s-’90s, so Jordan Brand is pulling from their signature color scheme for an Air Jordan 3 “Knicks” that was recently premiered by none other than the bombastic DJ Khaled. Jordan 11 Navy Sneaker tees Icy Sole Jordan 13 “Lakers” — an earlier nod to another one of MJ’s ’90s rivals — this Knicks AJ3 features a white leather upper that’s accompanied by signature grey elephant print. Royal blue and sporty orange accents are then dispersed throughout to lock in the Knickerbockers-esque stylings. The shoe’s signature detail appears on the inner tongue tag however, thanks to a badge that reads “03.08.88,” a reference to the famous “Virus Game” in which MJ put up 47 points against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden while battling a debilitating stomach virus — all while wearing a pair of the AJ3 “White Cement” to boot. Equally as suitable for Knicks superfans like Spike Lee Air Jordan 1 Retro High Obsidia Air Jordans to release on September 21st, so check out Khaled’s Instagram Russell below, and stay tuned for more info as it’s available.
