Where to Buy the Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Gold’

News on this release was first published June 1, 2022.

Update October 5, 2022: The release of the Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Gold’ is just around the corner, and a slew of retailers have announced they’ll be stocked! Peep our Where to Buy guide below.

Update August 9, 2022: The Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement’ makeup, with an added hit of gold, known as the ‘Black Gold’, is due to release! The women’s exclusive colourway will be available to buy later this year on October 6.

Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan retro plans for the remainder of 2022 (and even the start of 2023) are beginning to trickle out, and one of the most recent pairs to appear is a new women’s Air Jordan 3 colourway that takes the classic Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement’ and adds a little bit of metallic gold flair.

Only a single photo of the new style has been revealed, but the ‘Black Cement’ vibes are strong. Just like the OG pair, it combines a black tumbled leather upper with elephant print on the heel and forefoot overlays while also adding in hits of red and white for contrast. However, quite unlike the ‘Black Cement’, it also adds metallic gold to the middle eyestays, the collar and what appears to be the bottom part of the throat. It also looks as if the heel’s original embossed Nike Air graphic has been swapped out for a tonal Jumpman logo, but due to the angle of the single image that’s available, it’s impossible to confirm that change.

Instagram sneaker leaker @solebyjc, who originally revealed the shoes via a recent post, also stated in the caption of his post that they’re a new entrant in Jordan Brand’s ‘Winterised’ lineup, which also contains popular models like the Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 12 and Air Jordan 14. However, unlike the noticeably altered construction of those ‘Winterised’ pairs, this appears to be a plain AJ 3 at first glimpse – so stay tuned for more info and word on a release date as it’s made available.
