Relying heavily on green hues — Bicoastal and Malachite to be exact — the Nina Chanel Jordan 3 is crafted with a premium suede and canvas upper, with a fossilized midsole to match its laces, eyelets, interior and custom back heel Interestingly, these Air Jordan 3s also feature thicker rope laces that aren't very common on Air Jordans, but add to that lifestyle aesthetic that Abney clearly wants to capture.
