No matter what’s under the tree this year, the kids will still have something to look forward to in the new year. Jordan Brand has always kept the youth in exclusive colorways of classic retros to hook the next generation on The Jumpman, and heading into 2026, Mike and company are starting the kids with the 3.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Olive Grey is a youth exclusive covered in soft olive grey suede across the entire upper. The earth tone panels are accented by olive grey elephant print on the toe, heel, and lace panel. Because this pair is for the kids, Jordan adds electric blue hits on the tongue and lace logos, ankle collar, and sockliner. The heel stabilizer and outsole are both deep green, with speckles of bright yellow on the heel.
Jordan is already setting 2026 up to be a banner year, with retro classics like the Tour Yellow 4s and Wolf Grey 5s, and collabs with the likes of J. Balvin and more. It’s only right that the kids get a little taste of the 2026 hype, too.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Olive Grey will be released January 1, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in grade school, pre-school, and toddler sizing, the retail prices are set at $155 (GS), $95 (PS), and $75 (TD).
