The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG 'True Blue' was released as one of the four OG colorways in 1988. It saw several non-OG retro releases, starting in 2001, in 2009 (EUR ope only), and again in 2011 as part of a wide Air Jordan 3 retro release that commemorated the 23rd anniversary of the shoe. The 2016 retro saw the 'True Blue' return again, but this time with the original branding and logo details that mimic the 1988 release.
