The Air Jordan 3 holds a special place in sneaker history, not just as a beloved silhouette but as the sneaker that kept Michael Jordan with Nike. Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the Jordan 3 was the first to feature the now-iconic elephant print and visible Air unit, setting the stage for future innovations in the Air Jordan line. Jordan Brand is gearing up to drop several new colorways of this classic model in the coming year, adding to an already impressive lineup that includes the Valentine’s Day, Lucky Shorts, and Black Cat editions. House of Heat and Elden Monitors are reporting a new Air Jordan 3 coming Fall 2025 in Dusted Clay.
According to the mock-up by House of Heat, the Air Jordan 3 Retro Dusted Clay will feature a rich nubuck upper draped in the titular dusted clay hue. This warm, earthy tone is applied across most of the paneling, including the signature elephant print on the mudguard and heel, offering a subtle yet striking contrast. The tongue, eyelet, and collar come in a lighter shade, complementing the deeper tones. Pops of red accentuate the plastic eyelets and the Jumpman logo on the tongue, adding a vibrant touch to the design. Underfoot, the sneaker boasts a two-tone muslin and dusted clay midsole paired with a semi-translucent rubber outsole that enhances the overall aesthetic.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Dusted Clay is rumored to release in Fall 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $200, with GS sizes at $140, PS sizes at $90, and TD sizes at $75.
