Fresh off the heels of the Nike SNKRS Jordan Brand Spring 2022 Retro Footwear Collection, today we have a closer look at one of the many releases from that set. Nicknamed the “Cardinal Red” edition, this Air Jordan 3 Retro draws inspiration from the original Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” edition. Made to pay homage to Michael Jordan’s seventh signature sneaker which also celebrates its 30th Anniversary, these AJ 3s (seen here in GS sizing) are set to debut in late February of 2022.
It comes in a white, light curry, cardinal red and cement grey. Sporting a traditional white-based tumbled leather upper with elephant print detailing in its usual places. Cardinal red accents, small hits of curry yellow and a grey outsole bring everything together on this AJ 3. This non-OG colorway also features “Jumpman” branding as opposed to “Nike Air.”
The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Cardinal Red” is set to release on February 19th, 2022. It will launch at Nike as well as select Jordan Brand retailers both in-store and online. They will be available in full-family sizing from men down to toddler. Men’s pairs come in at the increased $200 price tag. Keep it locked to our Twitter and Mobile App to stay up to date on this release as it gets closer.
