Summary

Jordan Brand is adapting the iconic Air Jordan 3 Black Cement into a performance golf silhouette

The design keeps traditional black leather elephant print overlays and red accents over a course-ready outsole

The pair is set to release on January 16 2026 via Nike and select Jordan Golf retailers

Name: Air Jordan 3 Golf “Black Cement”
Colorway: Black/Cement Grey-White-Varsity Red
SKU: IU3188-001
MSRP: TBD
Release Date: January 16, 2027
Where to Buy: Nike

Jordan Brand is adapting an all-time classic for the fairway with the upcoming Air Jordan 3 Golf “Black Cement.” The release translates one of Michael Jordan’s most revered signature sneakers into a performance golf silhouette, keeping the aesthetic of the original 1988 design largely intact while modifying its tooling for the golf course.

Constructed with traditional black leather across the upper, the golf edition preserves the hallmark elephant print overlays wrapping around the toe box and heel. Vibrant red accents punctuate the design to break up the dominant black and grey arrangement. In terms of overall profile, the shoe sits slightly lower to the ground than the standard retro cut, but otherwise maintains a look nearly indistinguishable from the classic release.

The most significant functional change is located underneath, where Jordan Brand has replaced the traditional court outsole with a specialized tread pattern built specifically for the golf course. The release builds directly on Michael Jordan’s decades-long affinity for playing golf, continuing the brand’s established formula of transforming iconic numbered Air Jordan models into course-ready footwear.

The Air Jordan 3 Golf “Black Cement” is set to release January 16, 2027.
