The Air Jordan 3 is arguably one of the most popular sneakers of all-time. Since its original launch in 1988, the AJ3 dropped in a slew of colorways before Jordan Brand put them back into the vault in 2014. But, there have also been plenty of unreleased samples, promos and even player exclusives made that never got a proper retail release.
Michael Jordan had a 'Washington Wizards' themed pair in 2001. Derek Anderson got his own 'Nike Air' versions as well as a 'Fire Red Cement' edition. Following that up was Kobe Bryant with one of the most sought after player exlusives out there. Off-court is where most of the Air Jordan 3 player exclusives have surfaced, mainly on the feet of baseball and football players. We've rounded up some of the most enticing Air Jordan 3 player exclusives below, keeping it strictly to athletes (which is why you will not see any Drake pairs listed).
