We’re not even halfway through the Jordan Release Dates 2024 slate, but as the continuing center of the sneaker industry, the brand’s 2025 plans are already coming into focus. Next up on the slate is a major Air Jordan 3 drop for next year, drenched in a mix of “Hydrogen Blue,” “Pure Platinum” and “Legend Blue.”

Though overshadowed by the Air Jordan 1 in past years and currently eclipsed by the Air Jordan 4, it’s abundantly clear that Mike’s 3rd signature is still an in-demand silhouette. The model’s continued release in an “off year” (read: 2025 is not a major anniversary for the AJ3) speaks to that.

Both “Hydrogen Blue” and “Legend Blue” should be instantly recognizable to sneakerheads, primarily through the Air Jordan 11 “Columbia,” itself returning for a Holiday 2024 launch. Though as always the mockup pictured here is speculative, we can predict the spotlighted shades to resemble the ones seen on previous “UNC” editions.

The Air Jordan 3 “Hydrogen” is currently slated for a 2025 release date. No more specific info has been reported, but as we near their launch, expect clearer, in-hand images and concrete drop info. If this pair piqued your interest, keep this page handy as we’ll update this page as details emerge.

Sticking with Jordan drops, the Military Blue 4s stand as arguably the biggest release of the year on May 4th.
