Updated April 11th, 2025: Insider sources have provided updated mock-up imagery of the Air Jordan 3 “Spring Is In The Air,” updated with new color-blocking expected to largely reflect what we’ll see on the final product. The originally reported color palette and inclusion of “Nike Air” branding remain consistent from our initial coverage, as does a Spring 2026 launch window. Check out the new imagery below.

Original article published March 25th, 2025: Many of the most notable pairs on the Jordan Release Dates 2025 calendar haven’t even gotten “first looks” yet, but insider sources are already lining the 2026 Jordan Releases slate. Following news of the Jordan Bin23, Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared” and Jordan 4 “Flight Club,” another one of Mike’s most iconic designs looms on the horizon via the Air Jordan 3 “Spring Is In The Air.”

In fitting seasonal fashion, the brand chefs up a “Sail/Jade Aura/Aura/Iced Carmine/Muslin/Iris Whisper” color combination, a vibrant blend that immediately calls to mind a litany of women’s and kids-exclusive releases from years past. At this time, it’s unknown whether this shoe will follow by limiting to those size runs. However, the inclusion of Nike Air is absolutely worthy of mention. While always a fan-favorite touch, this instantly becomes among the most far-flung from the OG heritage to nod to it.

As mentioned, the Air Jordan 3 “Spring Is In The Air” is expected in the Spring 2026 window, placing a launch somewhere between January and March. Keep an eye on our Jordan Release Dates page for more info. Mock-up images are included below, but note as always that these are entirely speculative, and shouldn’t be considered a reflection of final product.
