Update: Another year, another batch of Air Jordan 3s. Looking ahead to 2024, Jordan Brand looks to be utilizing the AJ3 once again with a recently-revealed “Midnight Navy” makeover now appearing via detailed on-foot shots. Enjoy an early preview of the sneaker above and for more info, be sure to review our previous coverage below as we still expect this pair to drop on January 13 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $200 USD.

Original Story: Jordan Brand has cemented the Air Jordan 3 as a staple in its annual delivery of Air Jordans. While the team often revisits retro looks, it hasn’t shied away from exploring new approaches as well. Notably, J Balvin reworked the shoe this year and will do so again in 2024 alongside the delivery of another new presentation — this “Midnight Navy” colorway.

In our first preview of the sneaker — courtesy of sneaker leaker @MasterChefIan — we see the Air Jordan 3 outfitted with a primarily-white leather upper. From there, a “Cement Grey” chimes in at the lacing system, lining and rubber outsole while an elephant print at the mudguard and heel sees black patterning run across a darker grey base. “Midnight Navy” accents the pair at the collar, the Jumpman branding found at the tongue and heel and a portion of the otherwise-white midsole.

While we’ve yet to receive word from Nike regarding the Air Jordan 3 “Midnight Navy” and its release period, a tentative launch date of January 13 via Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers at a price of $200 USD is expected.

For more of the latest news from the world of sneakers, the long-awaited launch of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Mauve” is just around the corner with it reaching shelves later this month.
