It should come as no surprise many A-list celebrities were in attendance for Saturday night's NBA playoff game in Tinsel Town. The Los Angeles Lakers made their superfans happy with a decisive Game 3 victory over the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Among the stars sitting courtside was Michael B. Jordan. At just 36 years old, Jordan has carved out a name for himself as one of Hollywood's best actors, producers, and directors. Even better, Jordan is a well-documented sneakerhead.

Last night, Jordan wore the Air Jordan 3 SE in the 'Fire Red Denim' colorway. The old-school basketball shoes were released in August 2020 for $200. According to StockX, the kicks now have an average resale price of $259 online.

The third installment of Michael Jordan's legendary signature sneaker line stands out thanks to its sharp silhouette. The model looks especially clean when reimagined in OG colors.

However, the Air Jordan 3 SE in the 'Fire Red Denim' is far from an original release. The colorway featured novel elements, starting with its nubuck upper and denim elephant print. Additionally, the fire-red ankle collar and translucent Jordan heel tab set the sneaker apart.

Three games of the round two matchups between Los Angeles and Golden State are in the books, and we at FanNation Kicks are hoping for a full seven-game series. Every night is a movie, thanks to the sneakers worn on the hardwood by players and celebrities.
