Jordan Brand Crafts a Special Air Jordan 3 for the Jordan Brand Classic

If you make it to the Jordan Brand Classic, the label’s high school basketball showcase that’s been around since 2002, you’ve got a bright future ahead of you. Not only are all these eyes from the NCAA world on you, but sneakerheads, too, as attendees often are treated to early pairs and special edition Jordan retros. This is again the case as Jordan Brand has made a special edition of the Air Jordan 3 Retro for the Jordan Brand Classic.

Essentially revamping the Air Jordan 3 Retro White Cement Reimagined from 2023, the pair features (mostly) the same colorblocking and material makeup. White tumbled leather coats most of the sneaker, while cement grey elephant print lands on the toe cap and heel overlay. Differing from the White Cement colorway are pops of light blue on the TPU eyelets near the vamp and on the collar, with the middle section reverting to the same color found on the Reimagined version.

Jordan Brand Classic branding surrounds the black embroidered Jumpman logo on the tongue, while the heel tab features white Nike Air text atop a graphic print of waves. One final change from the White Cement comes on the internals, as the tongue lining opts for a light blue finish to match the eyelets. Underfoot, a black and sail midsole and a grey outsole sit.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Jordan Brand Classic PE will not release to the public and will remain exclusive to select 2025 Jordan Brand Classic attendees.
