Jordan Brand and Levi’s introduced four Air Jordan 3 colorways in a staged 2026 rollout, using regional releases before a broader launch on February 20.
The collaboration pairs the AJ3’s basketball heritage with denim construction and Levi’s Red Tab detailing. Rigid combines indigo denim with dark elephant-print panels. Black mixes leather and denim, while Year of the Horse uses ecru denim and pony-hair panels. The LA Exclusive carries blue denim accents and red City of Angels stitching.
Original release schedule
- January 24: Year of the Horse in China.
- January 30: Year of the Horse in Japan and Korea.
- February 5: Black and Rigid, plus apparel, exclusively in San Francisco.
- February 13: LA Exclusive during NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
- February 20: the full collection through Levi’s, SNKRS and selected stores globally.
Nine apparel styles accompanied the sneakers, including a varsity jacket and a reworked Type III Trucker. Spike Lee appeared in the campaign alongside Rio Amor, Josh Velez and Jay Wright.
