Jordan Brand has moved away from the endless stream of Air Jordan 1s that dominated the first part of the decade, and in its place, the Jumpman is moving slowly up and down its retro catalog, bringing out classics from every era of numbered heat. And who doesn’t love some OG releases?

Feeling Blue

New images of the 2026 Air Jordan 3 Retro True Blue show a colorway straight from 1988, bringing back the OG elephant print, white leather, and blue splashes for a reminder of why Jordan is the GOAT on and off the court. The pair was released in four previous retro runs, popping back up on shelves in 2001, 2009, 2011, and 2016, with the new pair marking the first time it’s hit production in a decade.

Featuring two-tone grey elephant print on the toe, heel, and lace panel, the rest of the upper is drenched in premium white pebbled leather. True Blue arrives on the sockliner, upper lace loops, midsole, and Nike Air branding on the heel, with a bit of red on the lower lace loops and Jumpman tongue logo.
