Air Jordan 3 “True Blue”

100% AUTHENTIC PRE-ORDER (WILL SHIP BEFORE RELEASE DATE) *JULY 18*

The Air Jordan 3, a creation by Tinker Hatfield, marked a significant shift for Michael Jordan’s signature shoes. Hatfield’s innovative touches, like the now-iconic visible Air cushioning, the distinctive elephant print, and the Jumpman silhouette, became hallmarks of the entire line. While most early Jordans were variations of Chicago Bulls colors, the Air Jordan 3 rebranded the silhouette with brighter blues and a cleaner white.

Elephant print will certainly be one aspect consumers will be keyed into on this upcoming 2026 release. There have been many Air Jordan 3 retros released throughout the years that received backlash for an elephant print that was too heavy or bulky in comparison to the original releases. From what we can see, this rendition seems to use a skinnier print that is reminiscent of the 1988 silhouette.
