AKATC: A Closer Look at the Air Jordan Retro III "Flip"
Jan 12, 2007 | Comments 33
One of many Air Jordan Retro IIIs scheduled to release in 2007, the Air Jordan Retro III "Flip" is a love it or hate it kick. To Jordan purists, the inversion of the Elephant Print may be a bit hard to swollow. To those with a more flexible view on Jordan's, the "Flips" may be viewed as a new age resurrection of the iconic Jordan model. Scheduled to release in March, only time will tell if the Air Jordan Retro III "Flip" is in fact loved, or hated.

Now, his collection tallies somewhere near 500 pairs and includes everything from GRs, to QSs, to TZs, to 1 of 1s, to PEs, to Friends and Familys, and anything, and everything in between. His favorite sneaker of all time is the Air Jordan VIII. Beyond loving the physical sneaker, MaZe loves the culture behind it. When MaZe is not in front of the PC working on KATC, he's probably copping kix and making moves.

illmatic STILL at it. 1-14 excluding 9 and 15-19 are the illest sneakera ever created apart from dunks
My boy hooked up a Nike reps 07 Escalade. He got'em a pair of samples and they are redic. I gonna see if I can get a pair but it's hard to get a 12. If so I'll rockem a month or 2 before they hit the streets.
congrads to you Scottyrob, you want a cookie?
there dope the way they made them but the cement print looks really cheap but who knows if ill cop just got to wait till the week of release so for now pass on these
Clear soles would make these sick and I hate you scottyrob!
Actually I'd love a cookie thanks for asking. If you don't mind I'd also like some milk and for you to stop hating on me. I said might and that my friend has them. LP must stand for little p***y because you seem so uptight.
Yeah, these will probably be the only III's I cop.
QUOTE {Yeah, these will probably be the only III’s I cop.} same hre , genrty needs to be kicked in the @#$ for #$%^^@ the III's

HOOT CALIENTE THESE ARE DOPE.
These look like feet caffine! I so want them. But here is the big question? Are they coming to Australia? I hope the answer is "Just do it!"
DON'T SLEEP !!!
jb is just destroying the originals.. they need to stop with these variant look a likes...
yes he is destroying jordans wtf is wrong with this people?
How can we define the elephant print ...
DOPENESS
VL
cop for sur.
yo i swear the first style of flips they had in 23isback was better then these why?? they changed them they look whack now!!.........
YALL IS CRAZY THESE IS KILLIN IM GON GET EM I GOT 2...THE DONT LOOK WHACC THEY STILL HARD
Not sure why everyone is Shouting "these look CHEAP!" That is absurd!!! If you kids had any style sense you would realize these are a WHITE/Light Grey Elephant Print/Black colorway. Us sneaker heads labled them FLIPS...Therefore, they went with a toned down elephant print to fit the white tongue and toe box. If the tounge and toe box were BLACK then maybe they would have gone with the original DARK GREY Elephant Print!!!! Which we may still see this year with all the variations of IIIs that are droppin...The fire reds and the cool greys are hot too, nobody is saying "elephant print ain't red!!!" This is the type of shiz that is keeping Jordan Brand at the forefront of sneaker culture and style inovation for 22 years. We buy, so they make it. Hate the playa not the game!
the flips is the cousin to the black laser iv's. Why..? because it takes a classic jumpoff and revolutionize's it to 2007 level. It "PUMPS UP THE VOLUME" hijos.... This design makes noise so act like you know all you toys....its like make up for all ya attention seeking puto's. Hands down its a elephant skin inovation, a step foward and dont get mad u did'nt think of it first.
idk wat summ pplz thinkin round here these things r the #1 of the 3's comin out theyre so sick!!
KINGsneakALOT... I think you mean "their" elephant print.
And as far as "what happened to" it... they're called "FLIPS" for a reason. The Elephant print has been "FLIPPED" and placed on the sides, rather than the heels/toes of the shoes, ignoramous.
damnnnnnn`SPEECHLESS (O.O)
Must Have
kan`t wait to kiss `em soles. =P
Where can i buy some jordans just like those
