Nike and Jordan Brand have always been innovative in their designs, sweetly surprising us with candy-themed colourways. From recreating classic sweets like the White Rabbit candy on their Dunk Low model to ingeniously cooking up Candy Corn-inspired hues for Halloween and even designing adorable candy-themed sneakers for youngsters, they have truly catered to those with a penchant for sweet-treat-inspired kicks. But, have you ever thought about a candy we all know and love – the liquorice allsorts – being transformed into a sneaker design? Let’s unwrap the ever-so-tasty “Liquorice Allsorts” Jordan 3.
A Playful Touch of Vibrant Colours
Just as delightful as the sweet selection, the “Liquorice Allsorts” Jordan 3 features an exciting mix of colours and materials. To begin with, the upper part of the sneaker sports a captivating tumbled leather finish, which is beautifully complemented by full-grain leather detailing on the mudguard. This combination creates a more mature look and feel for the design.
The design also incorporates other black elements to mirror the distinctive appearance of liquorice. This colour continues on the eyelets and segments of the iconic elephant print adorning the toe and heel. The rest of this stunning pattern boasts a vibrant coral pink shade for added visual appeal.
The playful touch of the vibrant pink colour, albeit a slightly brighter one, continues beautifully throughout the sneaker’s design. It graces the mesh details on the eyestays and the lower part of the tongue and elegantly rounds off with the collar. To further enhance the allure of this design, a delicate salmon hue subtly underscores the inner lining and the leather part of the tongue. Including an eye-pleasing baby blue leather patch on the heel further amplifies this sneaker’s striking Liquorice Allsorts-inspired colour scheme.

A Striking Combination of Colours and Textures
Finally, the striking design of the upper is beautifully tied together with vibrant orange laces, which brilliantly showcase the vivid shades of pink and salmon on the shoe. The final flourish to this unique design is the combination of a bright pink and coral midsole, featuring a transparent air unit at the heel. The colourful midsole then transitions smoothly into a contrasting grey rubber outsole, perfectly capturing the characteristic look of Liquorice Allsorts.
A Nostalgic and Playful Sneaker Design
With this delightful candy treat being such a significant part of our childhoods, it’s no wonder that the design of this shoe brings back a sense of nostalgia and playfulness. The combination of vibrant colours and unique materials captures the essence of Liquorice Allsorts, making it a must-have for any sneaker enthusiast looking to add fun to their sneaker collection.
