A staple in Jordan Brand’s annual offerings, the Air Jordan 3 has found itself in many different looks for 2022. Between retros such as the OG “Fire Red” and new approaches like the “Desert Elephant,” the classic silhouette continues to hold an important place in modern sneaker culture. However, there’s been a noticeable lack of collaborations involving the silhouette in recent years as the last one was 2021’s A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3. This trend continues with yet another colorway designed by the Swoosh.Found in “Dark Iris”, the Air Jordan 3 carries a familiar look. Beginning with the upper, it takes its standard form in white leather while the iconic gray elephant print overlays pair with purple accents at the heel, tongue and lacing system. Standard to the Air Jordan 3, the Jumpman logo is found at the tongue, heel and sockliner. A white and purple midsole pairs with a mostly gray outsole to complete the look.Release for the Air Jordan 3 “Dark Iris” is set for August 24 via Nike and select retailers at a price of $200 USD.Elsewhere in the world of footwear, LeBron James showed off a first look at the Nike LeBron 20 during a practice session.

Nike and NBA superstar LeBron James have a storied history together that spans decades, dating back to an initial contract that was signed in James’ rookie year of 2003. Since then, the duo have established a sizable catalog of products with James’ signature sneaker line being the most notable element. Now, it’s only fitting that heading into James’ 20th season in the NBA and his 20th year with Nike that the Nike LeBron 20 is on its way.Traditionally, James has favored bulkier builds with his signature line, typically opting to wear his high-top versions when playing. However, in our first look at the Nike LeBron 20 we see a slim silhouette in a low-top form. The shoe looks to include a knit upper that carries overlapping Swooshes on the lateral while James’ signature touches down on the tongue. This particular colorway favors an all-pink look that is accented by hits of silver on the Swooshes.Take a look at the latest entry in the Nike LeBron series above and keep an eye out for the Nike LeBron 20 to hit shelves later this year via Nike and select retailers.In other footwear news, another Patta x Nike Air Max 1 colorway may be in the works.
