The Brief

  • The box includes red Jumpman and green ribbon elements.
  • The shoe has a cracked black upper with gold accents.
  • The design references a 1985 Nike Christmas ad.

The packaging for the Air Jordan 3 'Not Nice' incorporates holiday-themed elements, including a red Jumpman logo and a green ribbon.

Inside the box, tissue paper and a green-lettered tag are included, along with a small bag of extra red laces.

The shoe features a black upper with a cracked and burnt appearance, revealing gold in the creases, and red and black elephant print on the toe and heel.

An aged tan midsole and a visible Air unit in the heel add to the shoe's worn-in look, with a pink and purple glow.

The design draws inspiration from a 1985 Nike Christmas ad that featured Santa in Air Jordan 1 'Chicago' sneakers.

Although the ad featured the Air Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 3 'Not Nice' has been a popular release this year, with its cracked look fitting the theme.
