About This Shoe
Updated Aug 4, 2026
Made for big kids, the Air Jordan 3 Retro GS ‘Desert Elephant’ delivers a subtle twist on the shoe’s OG ‘Black Cement’ colorway. The black tumbled leather upper is accented with textured elephant print overlays in brown suede, bringing an aged aesthetic to the iconic silhouette. Perforated grey suede is utilized on the collar, eyestay, and tongue, with the latter featuring an orange Jumpman on the smooth top surface. A second Jumpman logo decorates the back heel, while the custom sockliner displays a playful graphic that alludes to the model’s original inspiration.
