Jordan Brand continues its tradition of creating exclusive player editions (PE) for top collegiate athletic programs, with UCLA being one of the most notable beneficiaries. Over the years, UCLA has received special editions of various Jordan retros, such as the Jordan 1 Low OG and Jordan 23. The UCLA Football team recently unveiled their latest PE: a stunning golden Air Jordan 3.
The Air Jordan 3 UCLA Gold PE features a luxurious design, emphasizing the school’s colors and prestige. The sneaker is crafted with smooth leather, showcasing a golden elephant print on the mudguard and heel. This golden hue extends to the laces, tongue, sockliner, and TPU eyelets, creating a cohesive and striking look.
Branding details are prominent on the tongue, with Jordan’s iconic logo on the right sneaker and UCLA’s emblem on the left. Both logos are embroidered in gold, accented with UCLA's signature blue piping. The shoe sits atop a tonal midsole and outsole, ensuring that every element of the sneaker reflects the school's pride and spirit.
UCLA’s new Air Jordan 3 Retro Gold PE will be exclusive to the school’s football program. Check below for a sneak peek of the pair, and download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
