Aug 3, 2026

The Air Jordan 3 is getting another colorway: "Sport Renaissance." It's a revival, a rebirth, an uprising. This fresh and robust colorway signals a new era for the AJ 3. Hibbett is ready for this August 15 launch. Are you?

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. 

Finding Your Perfect Fit: Women's and Kids' Sizing Breakdown

This bold new Air Jordan 3 colorway will be available on the Hibbett site and in stores in full family Jordan 3 sizing​, which includes women's, preschool and toddler. Parents and kids can match, or you can shop for other Air Jordan 3 colorways to mix and match for family fits. 

These shoes typically run true to size and generally offer a roomy but secure fit. If you have wide feet or prefer an extra-spacious fit, you may want to go up half a size. If you're not sure which AJ 3 size is right for you, visit a Hibbett store and try them on before you buy!
