The most distinct aspect of the Air Jordan III was the upgrade in materials. The upper was constructed of rich full-grain tumbled leather and was built to feel broken in — Jordan could wear a brand new pair every game without worrying about stiffness in the shoes. 

The Air Jordan III continued the progression of the footwear industry. Its materials, technology and fresh design — with the assistance of a revolutionary Air Jordan commercial — took the basketball world by storm. Nike linked up with writer/actor/director Spike Lee for a spot starring Michael Jordan and Spike's character Mars Blackmon. MJ and Mars collaborated on several more Air Jordan commercials in the coming years.
