Among basketball shoe brands, the Air Jordan line has long been associated with trends, functionality, and cultural significance. Still, fans’ praise for each release isn’t always the same. The release of the Air Jordan 3 “Georgia Peach” has caused a divide among NBA fans. But what exactly do fans have against this shoe?

Some are disappointed, others are coming up with inventive methods to criticize the new style. In an era where the debut of new sneakers can send sneakerheads into a tailspin, the disappointing feedback of the most recent Air Jordan 3 version highlights the question of how NBA fans’ views are changing.

The release of the Air Jordan 3 “Georgia Peach” on social media

On November 17, 1984, the first Air Jordan sneaker was created for NBA star Michael Jordan while he was a member of the Chicago Bulls. It was then made available to the general public on April 1, 1985. Now, the Air Jordan 3 “Georgia Peach” was officially released on 23 April 2024. Following this, fans took to social media to discuss their thoughts on the new style. A series of reactions were sparked by an Instagram post from “Nice Kicks” that included five images of the Air Jordan 3 “Georgia Peach”. The post captioned with the statement, “The Air Jordan 3 ‘Georgia Peach’ is officially out now on Nike 🍑 Who’s copping? 👀.”

The latest design displays elephant print overlays and touches of cosmic clay, along with smooth white leather on top and cement grey on the bottom, giving this look its distinctive flair with a hint of sweetness. But the response to the launch this time around was not as strong as usual, despite the excitement that surrounds every new Air Jordan release.

Disappointed fans express their thoughts

Among the rush of different responses, a few fans showed off their thoughts by suggesting a funny design for the Air Jordan 3 “Georgia Peach.” In a playful reference to the timeless style that sneakerheads continue to treasure, one commenter suggested painting the shoes to imitate the famous Cement coloring. The user wrote, “I’ll just paint these to be cements lol.”

One fan questioned whether the release was intended for women. The supporter commented, “Isn’t this release considered women’s?”  indicating a potential disconnect between the product and its target audience.

Another fan humorously suggested a strategy of repainting the shoes with each new release. The fan commented, “Get one shoe and paint it every time anything new drops 😂” highlighting a perceived lack of innovation in the design.

Moreover, fans’ disappointment was captured in a gif that was submitted in the comment area and had the word “JUNK” in it.

Some people just seemed uninterested in the newest Air Jordan release, with remarks like “Hell no” and “Not worth MSRP” expressing their sentiment.
