The Air Jordan 3 is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a return to retail in its most recognizable colorway,
The Air Jordan 3 Reimagined “White Cement” will feature a style modeled after the original 1988 release and express the timeless combination of “Summit White/Fire Red/Cement Grey.” Elephant pattern overlays are placed at premium white leather uppers’ toe and heel areas with perforated sections. White laces, red insoles printed with contrast black branding, and red tongues with Jumpman designs serve as further details. Yellowed eyelets, “NIKE AIR” heel counters, and midsoles with gray rubber outsoles complete the shoe’s aesthetic.
The Air Jordan 3 “White Cement Reimagined,” which retails for USD 210, is now anticipated to be released on March 11 as part of Jordan Brand’s Spring 2023 collection in a complete family-size run.
Jarritos x Nike SB Dunk Low
Release date: Spring 2023
The Jarritos x Nike SB Dunk Low was first reported in late September, but it may have been unofficially unveiled recently.
The Jarritos SB Dunk’s upper combines off-white leather and canvas, with the latter material preferring a beige color with rich green profile swooshes. Traditional Nike SB logos are stylized as the Jarritos logo at the tongue’s top, further energizing the otherwise relatively subdued sneaker with additional green and orange flair. Finally, there is an orange and green outsole that Peter Moore created.
Nike and Jarritos have yet to release any official release details or images. It will be available for USD 130 through Nike and a few select skate stores in the upcoming months.
