Air Jordan Retro 3 Flip
The design of the Air Jordan III was totally different from the Jordan I and Jordan II. It was the first pair of Jordan shoes that showed a visible air sole. The designer behind this innovation was again Tinker Hatfield who designed every Air Jordan model up to the 15th and returned to design the Jordan XX. This was also the very first Air Jordan to feature the Jumpman logo instead of the Wings logo on the first two Jordan shoes.

Air Jordan Retro V
Tinker Hatfield is responsible for the unique design for the Jordan V. A few design elements were carried over from the Jordan IV, but the Air Jordan V featured a great silver/reflex tongue and a clear/see-through rubber sole creating a completely unique look. With the addition of lacelocks and shark teeth shapes on the midsole, this shoe is rumoured to have been inspired by a World War II fighter plane.
