The Air Jordan 3 “Sports Renaissance” will be released on August 15, 2026. The classic model will feature a new colorway, available in women’s sizes. Dubbed “Sports Renaissance,” it will come highlighted in Obsidian, Track Red, Blue Beyond, and Chalk. The retail price is $205.
Plenty of people are fans of the Air Jordan 3, and it’s one of the models that Jordan Brand drops the most pairs of each year. It should come as no surprise that in 2026, we will see new color options land at retailers, and for Fall, we have the “Sports Renaissance” Air Jordan 3. Furthermore, the shoes expand on the women’s lineup.
Highlighted in an Obsidian, Track Red, Blue Beyond, and Chalk colorway. This Air Jordan 3 features a mismatched color scheme. One shoe uses Pink and Red accents, while the other switches to Light Blue and darker Blue. Chalk helps connect both sides of the pair through the laces and midsole.
Obsidian covers most of the upper. The darker shade gives the pair a clean base. Track Red and Blue Beyond then add color across the collar, eyelets, heel, midsole, and outsole. White Jumpman and “AIR” branding provide another layer of contrast.
The materials also separate this release from a traditional Air Jordan 3. Mesh is used around the collar and lace panels. The tongues feature a ribbed texture, resembling a waistband. Lastly, the elephant print has been removed and replaced with tumbled leather.

Air Jordan 3 Sports Renaissance Release Date
The Air Jordan 3 “Sports Renaissance” will be released on August 15th, 2026, at select Jordan Brand retailers, including Nike.com, Foot Locker, Finish Line, DSG, and Hibbett. The retail price is $205. Once we have more details, we will update you.
Although the nickname on this Air Jordan 3 is interesting, it’s another pair that most of us, including myself, will wait for a first look. Sadly, this wasn’t a pair that I was privileged to see. But, as for the colors used, I guess it can be decent. I can already foresee this pair being an outlet-bound one, and potentially the best time to buy. We will see if my mind changes when we get a first look.
