Even though Jayson Tatum's been recovering from an Achilles injury after the NBA playoffs, that hasn't stopped the Boston Celtics small forward from cooking up some absolutely fire sneakers like the Jordan Tatum 3 White Black. While it's definitely a lot cleaner than some of his louder recent drops, there’s something about this pared-back execution that feels sharper, sleeker, and ultimately more versatile for everyday wear, both on and off the hardwood.
The upper is decked out with wavy molded overlays that bring subtle movement to the silhouette. Crafted from lightweight mesh to keep your feet cool, it’s elevated with tough textile panels for durability and long-lasting support during quick pivots and drives.
But even though it’s so simple, Jordan Brand hasn’t skimped on the details. To the side, a slick black Jumpman logo adds contrast, while Taco Jay’s personal emblem is stitched proudly onto the tongue. Around the back, three stars pay tribute to his All-Star appearances (earning the White Black its “Three Stars” nickname) alongside his signature number “0,” leaving no doubt who this shoe belongs to.
Down below, the midsole is infused with Zoom Air for unrivaled comfort and responsiveness, with Tatum’s personal mantra “Find a Way” stamped for extra inspiration. The outsole’s unique traction pattern keeps you grounded through sharp cuts and sudden stops, making it as functional on court as it is stylish off it.
While the Jordan Tatum 3 White Black seems like more of a summer release, it's actually scheduled to drop sometime in Fall 2025. It’ll be available via Nike and select global retailers both online and in-store for $130.
