Air Jordan 3lab5 (Black/Metallic)

UPDATE: Tick tock tick tock goes the hands on the release clock. These dimes dropping tomorrow Jumpman fans, who's already camping? Look for these commencing tomorrow at stockists including Foot Locker.

The first pieces of the 'Lab' series introduced by Jordan Brand made a strong punch in the basketball lifestyle market, re-opening the floodgates for Jordan based fusions, but this time around it seems JB have learned lessons from the past. Today we welcome the first detailed look at the US summer-slated . Based atop the sly-stylings of the AJ5 'Black Metallic', elephant print stampedes across the top in an all-black masking, making it appealing for any lover of black Jordans. We're going to have to wait to see these cronies in the flesh before we pull any triggers, but until then, dissect them for yourself in the gallery above, thanks to Sneaker News and  Solefood NY.
