After years of heavy Jordan retro floods from the Jumpman, the brand has slowed down a little bit this year, dropping a few select curated retro pairs, some new anniversary-ready colors, and choice collabs. Keeping the carefully-picked retro theme going for the summer, the latest OG pair making a triumphant return is the Air Jordan 3 Retro True Blue.

Back in Blue

After getting word last fall that the colorway would be back for 2026, we got a look at the new pair of True Blues in GS sizing earlier this month, with retailer images showing a blue shade that looked a little lighter than we remember. Now, a look at the pair in adult sizes has hit the web, and it’s letting us breathe a sigh of relief about the blue shade.

Featuring a true-to-OG True Blue color blend, the pair starts with a classic mix of grey elephant print and white leather on the upper. The blue comes in on the middle eyelets, sockliner, midsole stabilization, and Nike Air heel branding. Just like the 1988 original, the colorway features a crisp blue tone that sits right in the middle of the azul scale.
