The Jordan 3 has been a staple in sneaker culture since Tinker Hatfield designed it in 1988 — it was the shoe that kept MJ from leaving Nike for adidas, after all! This latest colorway keeps the legacy alive. Featuring a Sail, Cement Grey and Metallic Silver palette, this pair leans into the timeless appeal of past AJ3 releases like the "White Cement" while adding fresh details to make it stand out.
The upper stays crisp with Sail tumbled leather, offering a slightly aged, vintage appeal. Even the collar and ankle padding are adorned in Sail, though this contrasts with the Cement Grey insole with Sail Jumpman branding.
Classic Cement Grey and Metallic Silver elephant print wraps the toe and heel, but with a new glossy finish instead of the traditional matte look. Further Metallic Silver accents pop on the back half of the midsole and and embroidered tongue Jumpman logo, adding a subtle shimmer to the greyscale aesthetic. There’s another gray Jumpman on the heel with the word “AIR” beneath.
A mix of Sail and Cement Grey eyestays hold the Sail laces in place over the tongue. These pair well with the Sail midsole with — you guessed it — the peek-a-boo Air unit in the heel.
Underfoot, the Cement Grey rubber outsole delivers traction for everyday wear. Of course, there’s a Sail midsole insert featuring the word “Jordan” in Cement Grey, just in case you needed further reminded on who His Airness is.
With its neutral color blocking and refined touches, this AJ3 is easy to style and fits seamlessly into any sneaker rotation. Whether you're pairing it with casual fits or dressing it up, it’s got that effortless, everyday versatility.
The Jordan 3 introduced the world to visible Air cushioning, the now-famous elephant print and a mid-cut design that blended performance with off-court style. Michael Jordan rocked them during his dominant ’88 season, including the legendary Slam Dunk Contest, solidifying their place in history.
This upcoming Jordan 3 Retro "Cement Grey" release pays homage to that legacy while bringing modern updates that align with today’s sneaker trends. Women’s-exclusive Jordan releases have been pushing boundaries in recent years, and this colorway follows in the footsteps of sought-after drops like the “Pine Green”, “Georgia Peach”, and “Craft Ivory”.
