Air Jordan 3 “Concrete Rose” Brings Harlem Grit to a Certified Classic

The Air Jordan 3 has always carried weight. From the original “White Cement” to countless retro runs. In 2026, it steps into something more personal. The Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 “Concrete Rose” trades nostalgia for narrative, rooted in Harlem grit and ambition.

The upper arrives in deep Fir and Victory Green premium leather. Rich. Grounded. Purposeful. It replaces traditional elephant print with a rough, cement-inspired texture across the overlays and midsole. Jagged edges along the tooling give it that cracked pavement effect, echoing the idea of growth through pressure. This is storytelling built into the structure.

Red fabric roses bloom across the tongue. A metallic gold rose hangtag sharpens the presentation. Then there’s the thorn-like vine detailing wrapping the upper. Bold, removable, and impossible to ignore. Take it off for a cleaner finish or keep it on for the full concept. Either way, the identity stays intact.

Underfoot, the classic Air Jordan 3 cushioning setup remains. Visible Air in the heel. The Nike Air branding on the heel seals it. Heritage meets personal history. Dropping on March 7th, for collectors who value story and build quality, this release stands apart from routine retros. it’s expressive without losing the DNA that made the Jordan 3 iconic in the first place.
