Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice”

100% AUTHENTIC PRE-ORDER (WILL SHIP BEFORE RELEASE DATE [NOV 21]

Jordan Brand is adding a brand new Air Jordan 3 to its Holiday 2026 lineup dubbed, “Not Nice.” This release looks at the unlucky side of Santa’s list and gives the model a darker, more worn-in finish. 

The upper comes in crackled Velvet Brown nubuck, with lighter golden tones showing through the surface as the material breaks up. Black leather and trim run through the rest of the shoe, while the elephant print at the toe and heel mixes black with deep red. An aged tan midsole sits underneath, giving the pair a slightly worn look without pushing too far into the vintage treatment.

Red accents show up in smaller spots around the tongue, stitching, and inner lining. Nike Air branding returns on the heel tabs, and lifting them reveals “Not Nice” embroidered underneath. The insoles keep the holiday theme going with “Checked It Twice” in gothic lettering next to red Jumpman logos, while a green section on the outsole adds one more Christmas reference.

The “Not Nice” colorway is expected to release alongside the brighter “Santa” Air Jordan 3, giving Jordan Brand two very different holiday takes on the same model.
