Would you rather be called “nice” or be called champion? For Michael Jordan, that was never a real question. The GOAT was famously as hard on his teammates as he was on his opponents, and regardless of any hurt feelings, it was mission accomplished to the tune of six NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls. That cutthroat attitude serves as the general idea behind the Christmas-themed, coal-inspired Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice” dropping later this month, with official images now revealing some key details.
The gallery below includes a shot of the insoles featuring Michael Jordan’s entire playoff history, styled as Santa’s naughty or nice list with crossed-off opponents and red writing describing the significance. The list reads in reverse chronological order, from the “Last Shot” at the top to MJ’s welcome to the league playoff series against Larry Bird and the Celtics at the bottom.
As for the shoe itself, the upper takes on a cracked leather foundation reminiscent of coal. The elephant print panels balance black and red for another ember-like touch, while puffy Jumpman and Nike Air stitching hits the tongue and heel, respectively.
The Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice” releases November 21st for $215 in men’s sizing. Check out official images below if you’re moved to cop a pair.
In other news, the women’s Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” drops November 11th.
