Maybe some of you know what’s behind this amazing Jordan 1 colorway and maybe some of you don’t. Nevertheless, here’s all you need to know about the Air Jordan 1 “Top 3" explained briefly.

The sneaker is dubbed the “Top 3" because it is created by utilizing 3 Jordan 1 colorways we know and adore. They are,

  • The Chicago colorway
  • The Banned/Bred colorway
  • The Royal colorway

Each of these colorways are spread and blended across the sneaker’s premium leather.

In addition to the 3 colorways, another reason why this is believed to be called the “Top 3" is because Michael Jordan was a top 3 pick in the 1984 NBA Draft. He was the 3rd pick.

The left shoe is completely different from the right shoe. While one shoe has a red outsole, the other shoe has a blue Royal outsole.
