The Air Jordan 3 OG “Rare Air” Finally Has a Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” isn’t interested in playing it safe. In fact, this sneaker throws the rulebook out the window and flips the classic silhouette on its head. If you’re interested in a trainer that’s inspired by unreleased samples, this is the pair to get.

Let’s start with the obvious: the Nike Air heel badge. One’s normal, the other’s flipped. No, this isn’t a factory defect – it’s completely intentional. Elsewhere, the upper is crafted from black tumbled leather, while buttery grey suede wraps around the lacing system and heel. Hits of “Military Blue” show up on the collar and eyelets, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue is spiced up with a generous helping of “Chile Red.”

Shifting your focus down below, the custom insoles are decorated with “Rare Air” branding, and the midsole is dipped in a creamy “Coconut Milk” colour scheme to give off a vintage vibe. The Air Jordan 3 is then fitted with Air technology for unrivalled comfort and cushioning wherever you go.

If you’re into the story behind your kicks, this one’s got layers. The “Rare Air” concept riffs off old unreleased Jordan samples – pairs that were scrapped but never forgotten. The Air Jordan 3 OG “Rare Air” is set to drop via Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers on May 30th. Let us know if you’ll be going for these, and keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
