Jordan Brand’s roster of collaborators and partners runs deep but it's their connection to the music scene that’s really gotten stronger in recent years. The long-standing deal with Travis Scott has proven that artists are as impactful, if not moreso, than athletes. Another GOOD Music alum also part of team Jordan, Teyana Taylor, launched her debut project with Jordan Brand in 2023 with the “A Rose From Harlem” Air Jordan 1 High Zoom CMFT 2. Now, Sole Retriever can confirm Teyana is getting a follow-up in the form of an Air Jordan 3 Retro in Spring 2026.
At the time of this writing, there are no images of Teyana Taylor’s upcoming Air Jordan 3 Retro collaboration. However, we do know the official color scheme features fir, fire red, victory green, cement grey, metallic gold, and gum light brown. Based on the red and green color scheme, expect the rose theme from Taylor’s original Jordan collab to continue on this pair.
On the surface, the use of the rose motif may seem like a simple callback to her hit song “A Rose From Harlem” off her 2018 album K.T.S.E. However, there’s a much deeper connection here. We have to go back to Tupac’s posthumous collection of poetry titled “The Rose That Grew From Concrete.” Pac wrote a series of poems between 1989 and 1991, with the most famous being the titular The Rose That Grew From Concrete.
It would later end up on a spoken word album of the same name, which featured a series of musicians and poets reciting his readings. The poem itself speaks to the beauty that comes from struggle. The rose is a metaphor for a person who has succeeded and grown even with negative outside influences in their environment. Concrete is harsh and not necessarily able to support the life of a flower, but even still, the rose can grow and live with these conditions that surround it.
Exactly how Teyana will incorporate the rose motif into her upcoming Air Jordan 3 is a mystery. More information should come to light in the coming months as the Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 Retro is expected to release Spring 2026. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $230.
