The Air Jordan 3 has enjoyed a number of noteworthy releases throughout 2022 thus far, such as the “Muslin” and the “Neapolitan.” And in the last half of the year, things are only going to become more exciting thanks to the return of the “Fire Red” and the debut of the “Dark Iris,” the latter of which is releasing next week right on Mamba Day.
While the “Dark Iris” may lack a direct connection to Kobe, it’s choice of release date is surely no coincidence. With its use of purple — which dresses the backside of the tongue, collar, and midsole — the pair pays a subtle homage to the late athlete, as it’s partly making use of the Lakers’ signature colors. Elsewhere, the rest of the upper is clad in white leathers, while cement print dresses both the heel counter and toe cap.
For a detailed look at the Air Jordan 3 “Dark Iris” ahead of its August 24th release, see below. You’ll also find a list of participating retailers, which includes everything from Nike SNKRS to Sneaker Politics.
In other news, Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Slate is releasing first thing in September.
