The rumors are true, the Nike Air Max 3 (formerly the Air Garnett 3) is making a comeback, even though my man KG probably won’t for this year’s NBA playoffs, sorry Celtics fans. This October, Foot Locker is dropping a blk/mts/hyper-blue retroed Nike Air Max 3. The blue colorway goes back to Garnett’s days with the Timberwolves, though he’s making his name in Celtic green with one NBA championship already under his belt.
The shoe is coming back pretty much unchanged, with its leather and gradient mesh upper and sizable air units in the sole (tuned air in the heel, zoom air in the forefoot). The only shift of note is some of Garnett’s signature details have fallen off, like the “OBF” which used to be on the sole (see the nucleus of the atom, now a swoosh) which stood for “Official Block Family” the name for Garnett’s core crew. More detail shots in the gallery.
