Air Jordan Legacy 312 by Don C

The Jordan Legacy 312 is a tribute to Chicago by one of its own, Don Crawley aka Don C. The man behind the Brand “Don C” a luxury cut-and-sew kind of brand that pays homage to the “good old days” of the NBA has influenced the windy city like not many people before. From his DJing days to managing Kanye, his involvement in Chicago's RSVP Gallery to his partnership with Jordan Brand (also with deep roots in Chicago's culture) it has always been about Chi-Town. His approach is simple, give back to the city that has influenced and shaped him, while paying homage to the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, by incorporating the Air Jordan 1 and the Air Jordan 3 as well as the Nike Air Alpha Force Low in his Jordan Legacy 312 design.

The colorway of this Air Jordan Legacy 312 was inspired by Bo Jackson‘s third signature sneaker the Nike Air Trainer III and in particular the “Medicine Ball” colorway. First released in 1988 the shoe was an all-purpose trainer designed to fit the needs of a future hall of famer and dual-athlete in Baseball and Football. The Nike Air Trainer III “Medicine Ball”, which features white and ginger tone colorway was further featured in Spike Lee's movie 'Do The Right Thing' on Mookie's feet.

The colorway of this Air Jordan Legacy 312 was inspired by a sneaker legend that debuted in 1989, the “Hot Lava” colorway of the Nike Air Tech Challenge II, Andre Agassi's signature sneaker but also worn by tennis bad boy John McEnroe. Designed by non-other than Tinker Hatfield, the “Hot Lava” is one of the most iconic sneaker colorways that you can see on Agassi's feet during the final of the 1990 French Open. Don C pays homage to this court-legend with a full colorway of the Air Jordan Legacy 312.

The colorway of this Air Jordan Legacy 312 nods to the colorway of the Nike Air Command Force “Volt”. Originally released in 1990/91 and worn by San Antonio Spurs' own David Robinson, the high-top basketball sneaker became famous on Billy Hoyle's feet in the movie "White Men Can't Jump” when he takes a bet, attempts a dunk misses miserably and later on just stuffs it over all of them.
