Updated April 29th, 2025: After the Jordan Brand Classic went down on the weekend of April 18th-20th, a closer look at the Air Jordan 3 gifted to athletes has been revealed. The shoes will not hit retail at any capacity.





The Jordan Brand Classic has touched down in the nation’s capital. The Jumpman has gathered the country’s top youth talent in basketball in search of the next great star, a platform that has showcased some all-time greats such as Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and more.
With the annual event comes special edition footwear to coincide with the festivities. For 2025, Jordan Brand has crafted a special Air Jordan 3 Retro featuring a classic build based on the “White Cement Reimagined” colorway, complete with Nike Air on the heel and matching hangtags and a pre-yellowed midsole. Touches of university blue appear on the lower and upper lace eyelets as well as on the traction pod on the outsole.
On the tongue is a special Jordan Brand Classic logo in text that encapsulates the Jordan logo, while a pattern that resembles either crashing waves or marble appears screened onto the heel-plate. While it’s hard to tell what the root of the design is, it could have some connection to Washington D.C..
This Air Jordan 3 “Jordan Brand Classic” PE will not hit retail at any point and will be handed out to the athletes participating in the event this weekend.
