Renaissance of a Classic Design: Material and Style Details
This is one of the most anticipated styles to join the Air Jordan 3 collection, with a color palette of Obsidian, Track Red, Blue Beyond, and Chalk Grey — all iconic Jordan hues. The supple Obsidian upper feels as moody as midnight, offering a departure from many of the light-colored AJ 3 colorways. If you want an Air Jordan 3 that's dark and daring, the "Sport Renaissance" will be here for you sooner than you might think.
The colorway will feature the famous elephant print in Obsidian, adding a textured, organic element to the look. This simple pattern is a notable part of Jordan sneaker history, adding this release to the list of sneakers featuring the elephant print.
The Blue Beyond hue pops up in the design for just a touch of this whimsical hue, while the Track Red appears on even smaller details for a subtle impact. And the chalk grey contrasts the Obsidian outsole for an eye-catching base. It's these tiny details that make the shoe feel luxurious, while maintaining a sporty aesthetic.
The visible air unit—a famous Jordan feature innovated by the brilliant Tinker Hatfield—creates a high-tech feel. But it's not all about looks. That Air Sole unit also helps propel you forward while absorbing shock impact. This makes for a supremely comfortable, smooth ride, whether you're sprinting or strolling.
The shoe combines high-quality leather and premium suede for durability and elegance. It's a design that can seamlessly go from a heated game on the court to a chill night out on the town. With this upcoming release, you get the strong Air Jordan 3 DNA, with impeccable support, grip, and comfort. But you also get the new "Sport Renaissance" colorway that feels effortlessly chic.
