About This Shoe
Updated May 8, 2026
The Air Jordan 3 Retro ‘Desert Elephant’ showcases materials and color blocking that stay true to the iconic silhouette’s original 1988 release. The upper is constructed from black tumbled leather with signature elephant-print overlays in a light tan finish. The neutral hue is repeated on the collar, eyestay, and tongue, the latter accented with a crimson Jumpman logo. Supporting the mid-top is a white polyurethane midsole with a visible Air-sole unit nestled under the heel.
