Air Jordan 3 Retro "Desert Elephant"
SUMMER HEAT FROM JORDAN BRAND
The Air Jordan 3 is returning in an all-new colorway as a part of Jordan Brand’s Summer 2022 sneaker lineup.
Coming in a color palette that closely resembles the “black cement 3s”, this iteration swaps the cement grey elephant print overlays, for a shade of brown that contrasts nicely against the black leather upper.
Rounding out the shoe’s the design will be the contrasting beige and orange hits that appear on the tongue, heel branding, and midsole. Early images also suggest this release will come housed in a special box that will add to the quick-strike vibes this shoe gives off.

Sneaker History
The Air Jordan 3 was originally released back in 1988 and was designed by world-renowned sneaker designer, Tinker Hatfield. At the time of its release, the AJ3 featured groundbreaking design elements that forever changed the footwear industry.

Elephant Print The elephant print accents on the Air Jordan 3 were another never-before-seen feature that gave the shoe a premium aesthetic that was unmatched for the sneaker market.
