If April showers bring May flowers, then March feels like a false start. Across the East Coast, late-season snow quickly melted under a heat wave of 70-degree days, but just as soon as the sun came, it disappeared again, bringing freezing temperatures back for the hell of it. Jordan Brand fell for the false start like the rest of us, and the Jumpman’s latest Easter colorway is coming in a pastel mix before the month is out.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Spring is in the Air follows in the long line of Easter-themed sneakers from the Nike and Jordan camps, and comes just after the retro drop of the classic Air Force 1 Easter, shining in patent leather. On the new retro 3, Jordan returns to pastel with a jacquard elephant print and violet leather accents.

On the toe and heel, a pastel green jacquard print fabric embeds elephant print in embroidery for a brunch-ready look, with tumbled white leather covering the rest of the upper, and hits of violet perforated leather on the lace panel and ankle collar. A pink Nike Air logo on the heel matches the pink outsole, and a bit more color is added with blue and pale yellow on the midsole.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Spring is in the Air will be released March 28, 2026, through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in full-family sizing, the retail price is set at $215 (men), $155 (GS), $95 (PS), and $80 (TD). For all the latest Jordan news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
