Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” Returns with Bold Details – Drops May 30, 2025
The Air Jordan 3 changed everything when it debuted back in 1988 — it was the first Jordan designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield and the pair that helped keep Michael Jordan with Nike. With its iconic elephant print, visible Air unit, and game-changing silhouette, the AJ3 set a new standard for basketball sneakers and street style alike.
Fast forward to 2025, and Jordan Brand is bringing back the “Rare Air” series — a line originally launched in 2006 for limited, exclusive drops. Alongside the Rare Air AJ4, this fresh Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” keeps the legacy alive with bold updates to the timeless model.
This upcoming release features a sleek black leather upper paired with grey suede detailing on the toe and heel for texture contrast. Military Blue hits on the midsole and collar give it a sharp pop of color, while the red heel tab branding nods to the classic AJ3 DNA. One unique twist? The heel branding is flipped — the left shoe features standard “Nike Air”, while the right one mirrors it in reverse, giving it that rare and rebellious edge.
The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” releases May 30, 2025, for $210 via SNKRS and select retailers. Don’t sleep — history never stays on shelves for long.
