Update March 31, 2023: Fresh imagery of the Air Jordan 3 ‘Palomino’ has surfaced. Stay locked for drop details.

Tinker Hatfield’s Air Jordan 3 continues to enjoy immense popularity in 2023. Buoyed by reimaginings of classic retro colourways and collaborations with the likes of A Ma Maniére, the silhouette looks set for another epic 12 months. The latest colourway to get sneakerheads’ chins wagging is the Air Jordan 3 ‘Palomino’, a model set to join the Jumpman’s prodigious Summer 2023 lineup.

Composed in ‘Light Orewood Brown’, Metallic Gold’ and ’Light British Tan/Palomino’, the upcoming release utilises beige suede uppers accented by its iconic elephant print overlays – this time in brown. Of course, erforated leather strikes the collars and tongues. In terms of branding, a metallic gold Jumpman takes flight on the tongues, heel counters and printed insoles.

In terms of inspiration, the design takes aesthetic cues from palomino – a genetic colour in horses. The colour usually consists of a gold coat and white mane and tail. The white colour typically incorporates a broad hue that can range to yellow.

The Air Jordan 3 ‘Palomino’ is expected to arrive on August 19 at Nike at select retailers.
