First Look of the Air Jordan 3 Fire Red with Denim

The Air Jordan Retro 3 is one of the most classic shape sneakers ever. It has been most associated with a classic Tinker Hatfield design: elephant print. And while original pairs of the model sport “Cement” hide, a re-worked “Fire Red” ensemble slated for August constructs these iconic overlays with dark denim.

At a glance, the predominantly “White” pair is simply a tweaked version of a classic Air Jordan silhouette, but it serves a history lesson. Original sketches of the Jordan Retro 3 feature Hatfield proposing both the use of black denim at the ankle and the introduction of a “Little Man Jordan Patch” on the tongue. While the latter became the iconic Jumpman logo, the former was ultimately scrapped from the model’s final design. It was replaced by perforated leather, which appears in “Fire Red” on this pair – just as ‘NIKE AIR” branding at the heel. A translucent, superimposed Jumpman logo at rear further nods to the Jordan 3’s historical importance.

The Jordan 3 “Fire Red” with Denim is currently slated for an August release though delays are possible. Rumours are circulating that there will only be 76,000 pairs worldwide. So getting your hands on these might be hard.

Fallout TV Series in the works at Amazon

One of the most popular video game franchises of the past 20 years is finally getting the live-action treatment it has long deserved. Amazon have partnered with Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy to develop a series based on the Fallout video game franchise. Fans of the series have been waiting for sometime to hear this and it has been officially confirmed.

There is no release date set for the Fallout series, however Variety magazine has shared some details about what fans can expect when it arrives. They have said its hoping to bring “the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy” on top of this adding in some “moments of ironic humor & B-movie-nuclear-fantasies”

The Fallout series has spawned different settings in the post-nuclear country, so there is no telling in which where the series will take place. The two most popular games in their franchise were Fallout 3 & Fallout 4 which take place in Washington D.C. & Boston.

Are you happy there is a Fallout TV series finally in the works? Let us know what you think
