The series, inspired by imperfect samples, is set to grow this summer.

As 2025 approaches, Jordan Brand is ramping up excitement with its “Rare Air” series, which includes the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air.” The sneaker was recently spotted, showcasing a bold design that plays on the concept of imperfections found in sample shoes. The color scheme combines black, blue, gray, and off-white, creating a balanced yet striking look. One of the most notable features is the flipped Nike Air branding in red, located at the off-white heel, giving it a distinct touch. The tongue of the shoe is adorned with a red Jumpman logo, while the off-white midsole further complements the overall color palette.

This Air Jordan 3 is a part of the “Rare Air” collection, which draws inspiration from the irregularities and mix-matched details often found on sample shoes. In addition to the colorway, the sneaker also features a special “Rare Air” sockliner, further enhancing its unique appeal. The design mirrors the themes seen in the Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air,” with the flipped branding and distinctive color accents.

The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” was initially previewed in September 2024, and it is now set to officially release on May 30, 2025. The sneaker will be available via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, with a starting price of $210 USD. This launch is expected to generate a lot of buzz, especially with the “Rare Air” theme continuing to intrigue sneaker enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates and a complete visual breakdown as the release date draws nearer.
