The Air Jordan 3 has been given a rather drastic makeover for this brand new women's silhouette, the Air Jordan 3 RTR EXP Lite.

This pair takes the build of Michael Jordan's influential signature model from 1988 and remixes it with a ripstop nylon upper and leather overlays. The most noticeable change is the addition of an extra high, boot-like ripstop ankle collar. The lacing system has also been tweaked to allow the extra long laces to be wrapped around the ankle. Other features include pull tabs with button clasps on the tongue and heel, as well as a zipper running up the medial side of the ankle. The rubber heel tab and midsole stay true to the OG.

A release date and pricing still have yet to be revealed for this interesting take on the Air Jordan 3. Check out official images of the OKC Thunder-esque colorway below.
