Channeling the high-flying drama of lucha libre, the Jordan 3 “El Vuelo” celebrates Mexico’s wrestling culture with bold colors, mask-like overlays, and show-stopping materials. It re-imagines the OG silhouette with heritage touches and storytelling that soars.
Design & Materials
The Air Jordan 3 “El Vuelo” (IO1752-100) features a Summit White leather base, accented with Pine Green, Dragon Red, and Metallic Gold, framed by classic Tinker Hatfield-designed paneling. Overlays draw inspiration from luchador masks, with scaly textures and jagged shapes conveying both agility and strength. Subtle details like “Más vale maña que fuerza” on the interior tongue add authentic narrative weight. The mid-top silhouette keeps padded collars, visible Air unit in the heel, and a lasting build that bridges past and spectacle.
Comfort & Performance
Underfoot, the shoe uses the AJ3’s classic rubber outsole for street grip, while the well-padded sock liner and collar deliver comfort. The leather upper adds structure and longevity, making it fit for display or daily wear.
