With the “Rare Air” series set to debut this weekend with the duet of gender-exclusive Air Jordan 1s, Jordan Brand is now preparing the launch of the more coveted of the short-lived series — the Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air”. Here, we will break down everything you need to know about this upcoming release.
The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” is marked by a Black/Chile Red/Neutral Grey/Military Blue/Coconut Milk colorway spec, matching the upcoming Air Jordan 4 of the series. However, the similarities end there: the Jordan 3s go with a classic tumbled leather in black, matching last year’s epic Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” release. The model’s key detail, the elephant print at the toe-guard and the heel, have been completely removed in favor of a smooth suede in Neutral Grey. Hits of Coconut Milk on the midsole and the heel plate exude an aged aesthetic that has yet to depart from sneaker trends.
The most distinguished characteristic of the Rare Air Jordan 3s is, undoubtedly, the inverted “Nike Air” logo on the right heel. Side by side, the classic brand emblem is displayed via a mirror image; this unexpected detail along should drive Jordan connoisseurs to add these to the collection.
The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air is expected to launch Summer 2025, but Sneaker News can confirm a release date of May 30th, 2025. They’ll be available on SNKRS and global retailers; the image gallery below comes directly from a Jordan retail partner that currently has the product listed online.
