The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” will be released on May 30, 2025, retailing for $210. This pair is unique because it isn’t an original colorway but will feature Nike Air branding.

In 2025, Jordan Brand will debut multiple OG colorways across various models, including older retros. However, the brand will also have some new color options on the horizon. One is the “Rare Air” Air Jordan 3, which will debut in the Summer of 2025. What’s interesting about this shoe is that it isn’t an original colorway but will have Nike Air branding, something that doesn’t become available often.
The shoes will further the “Rare Air” series in 2025, launching alongside the Air Jordan 1 and the Air Jordan 4.
This Air Jordan 3 is dressed in a Black, Chile Red, Neutral Grey, Military Blue, and Coconut Milk color scheme. The shoes will feature Black nubuck across the base with Grey leather around the toe box and a lighter shade around the heel, replacing the signature elephant print. Nubuck adorns the eyestays, tongues, and ankle, highlighted in Grey and Military Blue, while aged details land on most of the midsole and heel tabs. Speaking of the heel tabs, the Nike Air branding is in Red. However, the left shoe branding will face the right way, while the right Nike Air will be backward. Completing the look is a Grey rubber outsole.
