ustin Timberlake gave a surprise debut of his Nike Air Jordan 3 "JTH" during the Super Bowl LII halftime show, which then subsequently went on sale on the Nike SNKRS app at the end of his performance.
The pop star teamed up with Nike designer Tinker Hatfield on several editions of the updated Air Jordan 3 to commemorate Timberlake's newest album Man of the Woods.
The sneakers' colorway features an all-white leather upper with the silhouette's signature grey cement pattern on the front mudguard and heel. A reflective Nike Swoosh is featured on the sides, while Timberlake's signature is featured on the inside of the right tongue.

Meanwhile, Timberlake's special edition sneakers, which that night went on sale for US$200 dollars a pair, sold out quickly, as reported by kompas.com.
There were reportedly around 500 pairs on sale on the SNKRS app.
The limited amount sold caused prices to soar on other sites listing the sneakers by targeting fans who missed on a pair. For example, a pair on eBay were priced at $2,500.
Nike Air Jordan has said fans of the sneakers who did not get the edition still have a chance to get their hands on a pair when Timberlake tours in a number of cities in North America.
More Air Jordan 3 "JTH" will be sold during Timberlake's upcoming tour dates. (liz/kes)
