The Air Jordan 3, designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1987 and released in 1988, arguably saved what became Jordan Brand as MJ allegedly was not happy with the direction of his signature lineup. With this, the silhouette is heralded as one of the best Air Jordans ever. Plenty of classics have emerged past the OG renditions from the ‘80s, including the Black Cat colorway from 2007. While many had hoped that the Black Cat would return in OG fashion, a new pair, originally scheduled for Holiday 2024, sees an Off Noir-based color scheme, making it different from the OG Black Cat from nearly 20 years ago.
This pair is expected to showcase a suede upper predominantly featuring an Off Noir shade. The timeless elephant print, a hallmark of the Jordan 3, will adorn the mudguard and heel in black, complementing the sneaker's dark aesthetic. Branding elements, including the Jumpman logo on the tongue, will also embrace the black theme, ensuring a cohesive look. A black midsole and outsole are poised to round out the design, offering a sleek finish to this luxurious iteration.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Off Noir was originally set to release in Holiday 2024. However, the shoe has been dropped from the Holiday 2024 lineup with no makeup date announced at this time. If it is released in the future, they will be available through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s, GS, PS, and TD sizing, the retail price is set at $200 for men, $150 for GS, $90 for PS, and $75 for TD.
