Homage to the "Virus Game" with the New Air Jordan 3 "Knicks"

The Michael Jordan story happens to also include the biggest rival of the Chicago Bulls. The huge Bulls-Knicks rivalry began in the ‘90s, when both teams competed against each other at the playoffs. Both professional teams have played against each other every year since the Bulls joined the NBA in 1966. One of the two teams' biggest games took place in the late 1980s, when MJ contracted a stomach virus. Nevertheless, Michael played his game and scored a proud 47 points for his team and won the match between the Bulls and the Knicks.

In honor of the New York Knicks and the said legendary game, this Air Jordan 3 "Knicks" represents just that in its white leather upper with accented blue and orange details. The eyestays, heel, and mudguard have a characteristic elephant print. A blue Jumpman is depicted on the heel, where the Nike Air logo is usually seen. The midsole, collar, and eyelets are done in orange and blue Knicks colours. But, the special highlight of these sneakers is the “04.08.88" inscription on the inside of the tongue—the same day when the famous “Virus Game" took place.

Don't miss the next update on the new Air Jordan 3 "Knicks”! These Jordans are definitely made for Knicks and Michael Jordan fans. According to insiders, the new sneakers will be released on September 21st. If the "Knicks" do happen to drop really soon, we don't want you to miss it!
