Jordan Brand is expanding its “Utility” series with the Air Jordan 3 arriving in a familiar “Black/Fire Red” color palette expected Spring 2027, likely between January and March.
While only mock-ups are provided from Sneaker Files and @zsneakerheadz, the shoe is expected to feature a Black leather upper with classic elephant print overlays on the toe and heel. Fire Red accents are shown on the laces and heel pull tabs, while the traditional laces are replaced with a bungee-style cord system. Other notable details that are expect include heel pull tabs, giving he shoe a more functional look, and a dark translucent outsole, adding to the rugged, winter-ready feel.
With the “Utility” line receiving mixed reactions, which includes models like the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 12, Jordan Brand is hoping the Air Jordan 3 will add some new excitement to the series.
