Nike Air Force 3 ‘Hornets’
Posted by George Kiel III | Sep 23, 2008 Do you remember Grand Ma-Ma and Alonzo in those pin-stripe clown suits? Well, if these kicks don’t bring back memories I don’t know what will! Nike has been pumping out Air Force One’s at an unbelievable rate, and we’ve even seen a rare sighting of the Air Force Two’s lately. However, we’ve came across an endangered species: the Nike Air Force 3.
A House of Hoops special edition, the Air Force 3 Charlotte Hornets Edition, contain a white upper with electric blue and purple accents. Reminiscent to the ancient Charlotte Hornets’ jerseys, these sneakers are lined with pinstripes and also include 3M reflective material. They made a debut this past weekend at HOH, so if you want them get there as soon as possible. Do you want to see more Air Force 3’s in the future? More pics provided by Kicks On Fire after the jump. |

Shoot…that was a TEAM back in the day with Grandmama, Zo, and Muggsy, don’t forget. A TEAM. Well anyway, these are ok. They kinda look like a clown would be hoopin in these though.
Sep 23, 2008 at 4:01 pm
i love AF3s, and this colorway
those are SICK
Sep 23, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Well, I said the other day that I want more of the Air Force 3, but I forgot to say that I don’t like pin stripes. So I’ll say it: I don’t like pin stripes.
I love high-top cuts, but I wonder: are these as high as the OG AF3? Looks like a Throwback Thursday is in order… if anyone has an OG AF3!

Sep 23, 2008 at 12:15 pm
xnyles, I’ve seen the Hornets play PLENTY of times, in person and on TV.
The Hornets may not have been the greatest of teams in the NBA, but they did have PLENTY of good seasons.
The play of that team was good and solid, just always plagued with injury.
Sep 23, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Being a Carolina boy, born & bred, I must say that I really miss the Charlotte Hornets.
Sep 23, 2008 at 11:51 am
Insanely fresh…Must be copped.
Sep 23, 2008 at 11:50 am
I have to get to HOH!
Sep 23, 2008 at 11:49 am

Sep 23, 2008 at 11:47 am

Sep 23, 2008 at 10:57 am
Definitely a dope summer shoe. But if I had a Starter Hornets pullover jacket, I’d rock ‘em in the Fall, lol. The Bulls & Raiders both had raw pullovers, but the Hornets had the best one.
Sep 23, 2008 at 10:56 am
The stripes totally kill the shoe, otherwise nice.
Sep 23, 2008 at 10:49 am
yea no stripes are better but im not worried about that…nothin a lil acetone and white angelus paint cant fix ya dig
Sep 23, 2008 at 10:47 am
Same here; no stripes will make these must haves.
Sep 23, 2008 at 10:46 am
