Jordan Brand has officially unveiled the Air Jordan 3 “Sports Renaissance”, introducing a mismatched colorway inspired by old-school athletic apparel. The upcoming release pairs classic retro construction with unexpected material updates.
Anchored by a dark Obsidian leather upper, the pair utilizes asymmetrical detailing across each shoe. The left shoe incorporates pink and red accents around the eyelets, collar, heel, midsole, and outsole, while the right shoe shifts those same zones into light and dark blue tones. Matching navy elephant print overlays wrap the toe and heel, while neutral cream laces come pre-installed to ground the split color scheme.
Diverging from traditional Air Jordan 3 builds, mesh paneling replaces standard leather around the collar and eyelets, complemented by ribbed, sweatshirt-like textile tongues. Red and blue details extend across the inner lining, insoles, and outsole traction pods, while white Jumpman logos and “AIR” heel branding unify both shoes. Additional red and blue lace options are also included to allow for an even more pronounced mismatched look.
The Air Jordan 3 “Sports Renaissance” releases August 15, 2026.
