Each summer, France hosts their annual Quai54 festival. The world's biggest streetball tournament, this outdoor tourney features a women's bracket, men's bracket, and a special Dunk Contest, with celebrities and athletes also appearing. Nike and Jordan Brand have been a big part of the Quai54 Tournament for over ten years. For the 2024 festivities, Jordan Brand will again dress the players with exclusive uniforms and kicks for the court. Dropping to coincide with the tourney is a limited edition Air Jordan 3 Retro.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Quai54 for Summer 2024 marks the second time Jordan Brand has chosen to make a special edition of the Tinker Hatfield classic. The last pair was released in 2018, with an unreleased Friends & Family edition produced alongside it. While that pair was black-based with multi-color hits wrapping around the back heel of the midsole and the plastic eyelets on the sides, this upcoming iteration comes in an all-new summit white, off-noir, game royal, burnt sunrise, and sail colorway.
Summit White leather dresses most of the upper, accented by off-noir via the suede panel below the middle row of plastic eyelets. Dual branding via the Quai54 logo and Jumpman are present on the tongue in game royal and on the heel via the semi-translucent heel tab. Subtle hits of burnt sunrise are present on the top eyelets and the edge of the suede panels on the mudguard and heel. A sail-colored, Air-cushioned midsole is finished off by a game royal-colored outsole.
The Air Jordan 3 Retro Quai54 will release on June 3, 2024, via Nike SNKRS EU and June 10, 2024, via select EU retailers. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $210. Download the Sole Retriever Mobile app for the latest information on this and other Air Jordan releases.
