In March, Brazil became the first national soccer team to play in a kit made by Jordan Brand. The away uniform will follow the squad to the World Cup, and soon a complementary Air Jordan 3 will join the fold to invoke o Jogo Bonito.
The Air Jordan 3 “Brazil” takes inspiration from the Jumpman-branded shirt while upping the color factor significantly. Just like on the kits, two shades of blue claim the majority of the upper’s territory, including a darker shade used for mudguards forgoing the typical elephant print. Pops of green also carry over through the upper eyestay and “Nike Air” logo on a speckled mustache, but from there the color applications get more liberal.
