Jordan 3 Retro True Blue (2026)

White/True Blue-Fire Red

The 2026 Air Jordan 3 'True Blue' marks the latest return of a colorway first released in 1988—one of the original four AJ3 colorways. The shoe gained further distinction as the first to feature the Jumpman logo and appeared in Nike's inaugural Mars Blackmon commercials. The elephant print overlays, integrated at MJ's personal request, have remained a defining design detail across every retro, including releases in 2001, 2011 and 2016. The build features a white tumbled leather upper with Cement Grey overlays at the toe cap and heel counter, and True Blue accents on the midsole wedge, lace eyelets and heel tab. A visible Air unit sits in the heel within a clean white midsole, above a grey rubber outsole.
