Another OG is back.

Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” Returning Fall 2026

What To Know About The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue”
– The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” is expected to release Fall 2026 for $200.
– These are an original color from 1988 and are a well-esteemed sneaker among Jordan fanatics.
– The True Blue 3s last released in 2016.

Much ado has been made about Jordan Brand’s historic 40th Anniversary in 2025, but what the brand has lined up for 2026 could rival, if not surpass, this year’s output. With an outstanding list of Jordan Retros confirmed to return in 2026, we’re now excited to add an all-time great to the list in the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue.”

The initial report by @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files confirms that this original colorway from 1988 is expected to return during the Fall 2026 season. Although firm release date information has not been shared, it’s clear that the Jumpman is targeting the Back-To-School shopping season that overlays with the third quarter of the season.

As of the publishing of this article, there are no actual images (2016 release pictured here) or product information surrounding the shoes, although the color specifications are confirmed to be White/True Blue-Varsity Red.

The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” is an original from 1988 and like any other original, these hold a high level of esteem among Air Jordan collectors and are regarded in a different light. Every release of an “OG” Jordan shoe demands attention, and the upcoming release is no exception. We expect these to be one of the more talked-about Jordans in 2026.

The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” is an original colorway from 1988. It has released on multiple occasions throughout the shoe’s decades of existence.
