The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG 'Rare Air' brings a clean, modern take on a classic silhouette, nodding to early unreleased samples from the Jordan archive. This 2025 release comes dressed in Black, Sail, Cement Grey, and subtle Fire Red accents.

The upper is crafted from black tumbled leather, complemented by smooth overlays and a Sail midsole. Notably, this version does not feature elephant print—a bold departure from the usual AJ3 DNA—giving the sneaker a more minimal, elevated look.

What sets this pair apart is the “Nike Air” logo appearing in the right side on the left heel tab, while the right heel is reserved logo—a rare and deliberate design choice. 

With its premium materials, stripped-down aesthetic, and subtle storytelling, the AJ3 'Rare Air' is a collector-worthy reinterpretation that balances heritage and restraint.
