The Air Jordan 3 "Spring Is in the Air" delivers soft pastel accents across Tinker Hatfield's 1988 icon just days before Easter 2026.

Design & Inspiration

Sail white leather upper creates clean canvas for seasonal storytelling. Jade Aura embroidered elephant print replaces traditional textured overlays on toe and heel—stitched detailing instead of printed pattern. Aura blue-tinged accents appear on padded collar, eyelets, tongue, and rear midsole portion. Iced Carmine pink highlights Nike Air branding on semi-translucent heel tab. Iris Whisper lavender touches add subtle dimension. Muslin cream pre-yellowed midsole provides vintage aesthetic and visual depth. Iced Carmine dominates rubber outsole. Full family sizing available making pastel-heavy colorway accessible beyond typical women's-exclusive spring releases.
