The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Black and Hyper Jade” is Built for Speed

The Air Jordan 3 Retro is back with a fresh twist. Set to hit shelves later this month, the all-new "Black and Hyper Jade" Air Jordan 3 is a kids'-exclusive colorway that’s as bold and dynamic as the performance sports cars they’re influenced by.

This new take on the Air Jordan 3 draws inspiration from the G.O.A.T.’s love for racing, blending the iconic design of the AJ3 with elements that scream speed and precision. The sneaker's upper is a mix of real and synthetic pebbled leather, dressed in a sleek black that exudes a tough, ready-for-action vibe. But what really sets this release apart are the vibrant accents of "Hyper Jade" and "Siren Red," which add a striking contrast to the otherwise stealthy silhouette.

In a playful nod to racing culture, the heel tabs feature checkered flag motifs that signal victory every time your kid steps out. These unique details, paired with retro packaging and fun stickers, capture the essence of '80s basketball culture while adding a modern, moto-inspired flair.

Will you be looking to cop? The Air Jordan 3 Retro "Black and Hyper Jade" will be available in-store and online at DTLR.com on Friday, August 23rd, in kids’ sizing.
